Dear 4th Grade Parents, 

 I’d like to remind you to make your Public School Tax Credit before you file your taxes.  Did you know that you can redirect your tax dollars to our school, rather than giving it directly to the state?  

 This is not a donation, you are just redirecting the income taxes that we must pay anyhow.  You get 100% of it back as a credit; your AZ tax liability is reduced dollar-for-dollar when you contribute to a public school. 

 We use these funds to support our extra-curricular programs, such as our Wednesday extra-curricular programs, on-campus and off-campus field trips. Our scholars love these opportunities to learn outside of the classroom! Just this year, our class attended the Liberty Festival sponsored by We Make History.

 Please, make your tax credit today using this link.
