Jennifer Stamison, AAPTO-LM Vice President of Spring Fundraising
 |
Jennifer is excited to join the PTO as Vice President of Spring Fundraising for the Lincoln Meadows campus. Jennifer and her husband J.W. were both raised in Colorado and moved to Parker in 2014 from their farm in Northern Colorado, which they maintain as a connection to their agrarian values, affording the opportunity to instill work-ethic in their children. The prominent factor in such a decision to relocate from what was once a leading school district in Colorado to Douglas County, is indicative of the passion to be a part of a top-education opportunity for America’s future generations. Having previous first-hand knowledge of the values and educational prowess of American Academy, Jennifer and her husband were eager for their three children to attend the Lincoln Meadows campus upon learning about the campus expansion plans. Jennifer’s background includes a professional career in sales for a U.S. national-leading corrugated packaging manufacturer & supplier as well as a background in property management services. She has also been an active member of the family’s Church and various other philanthropic ventures. Jennifer is active on campus on a weekly basis as a token of her appreciation and support for the administration, staff and overall vision of American Academy. She will continue to serve concurrent roles as a room parent and coordinator of the monthly teacher appreciation luncheons. |
