The American Academy PTO will sponsor an inaugural Spring Gala and Auction to benefit the students of American Academy. The event is set for Saturday, April 29, at the Marriott Denver South on 10345 Park Meadows Drive.

The theme is “An Evening Under the Stars” and is the premier fundraising event for the school. With a goal of raising $40,000, proceeds will be used to fund programs and equipment that will directly benefit the students of American Academy.

The community is invited to be part of this exciting event by donating auction items, becoming a sponsor or attending the event. Donors will be recognized in all promotional materials and auction catalogs with exposure to more than 350 families. All donations are tax deductible.

American Academy, a new Core Knowledge based, K-8 Charter School opened its doors this past Fall in Lone Tree. The school’s mission is to achieve academic excellence through a challenging sequenced curriculum that emphasizes math, science, and technology to provide children with the tools to become the leaders of tomorrow.  There are currently 396 students in attendance and over 350 families on next year’s waiting list.

If you would like more information or to donate auction items, please contact Mary Schroeder at mary@schroeder.com, or Vivian Winston at vjwinston@comcast.net.
