"Being a room parent at American Academy has been such an incredible experience. It has been a great way to earn my volunteer hours and create memorable experiences that benefit students and staff. Working with other moms, helping plan activities/parties, and working with the staff has been a great way to build relationships within the community and stay connected to my kids' education." ~ Megan

Why Classroom Funds Matter

Crafts

At American Academy, we believe every student deserves a joyful, enriching, and memorable school year. That’s where Classroom Funds come in—your one-time donation of $45 per student covers it all, from festive celebrations to thoughtful teacher gifts and more.

Here’s what your donation supports:

  • Class Parties (Fall, Winter, Valentine’s Day): Keepsake Crafts (see photos above), snacks, games, and seasonal learning activities—all allergy-safe and nurse-approved.

  • Teacher & Staff Gifts: Group gifts for birthdays and end-of-year, organized by room parents so you don’t have to lift a finger.

  • Gala Silent Auction Baskets: Each classroom contributes a themed basket—funds ensure we start strong, with extra support from our generous community.

  • Special Classroom Moments: From tortilla chips during a cultural lesson to hands-on learning fun—teachers can enhance the classroom without paying out of pocket.

Classroom Funds keep things simple for parents and meaningful for students and staff. No extra donation emails. No last-minute gift scrambling. Just a smooth, thoughtful experience that builds community and shows our teachers and kids how much they’re valued.

Make your donation today and help us make this year unforgettable.
