American Montessori Parent Team

What is the Parent Team?
Founded in 1992, we are a group of parents who have volunteered time and skills to support our children's school experiences during the year. 

Membership
All familes enrolled in American Montessori Academy are Parent Team Members.  The success of the Parent Team depends on parental involvement.  Participation in meetings, events, and fundraising activity is optional.

Meetings
Our meetings are held at the school on the first Tuesday of each month, 5:00pm. FREE child care (and dinner for the children) is provided for parents during the meeting.

Fundraising for Activities
Proceeds from Parent Team fundraisers are managed by the Team and collected strictly for the benefit of AMA family activities. The funds are not co-mingled with the business of tuition and childcare.  Parent Team maintains a separate account, which is administered by the Treasurer. 

Fundraising efforts benefit the following:
  • Fall Carnival (Crazy Hat Day)
 • Snow Play Day
 • Fairytale Town Campout
 • Spring Party "See You Later Alligator"
 • Child care during parent team meetings
 • Playground equipment
 • Contributions to individual classrooms
Lunch Program
The Parent Team is happy to offer a fee-based hot lunch program to the children on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week.  The profits from the hot lunch program serves as the Parent Teams' largest fundraiser for the social activities throughout the year.
