My child just started kindergarten. As far as I can tell, it's wonderful and is the best place for him.

We're just... people of means. We've saved a lot of money compared to the private schools we were considering.

I just don't want this to be inappropriate. We'll give to all the standard pta / school fundraisers and already do the wishlist and extra school supplies requests.

I'm still selfish. I do want plenty of it to benefit my child. Appropriately though.

I just also want to make sure that the (kindergarten) teachers can get pizza and beer or whatever without it seeming like bribery.

Go talk to the teacher and just ask them?

If you want to so it anonymously, organize a spaghetti night as a fundraiser and end up raising a shitton more than you could expect from such an event?

Maybe ask the parent council? They're typically tasked with fundraising, so that would be a logical place to start.

It’s World Teachers Day on Oct 27. Maybe shout them lunch and give them gift cards? As for the school itself, offer to upgrade a specific thing? Like their books or arts and crafts supplies?
