It’s a SNACK DRIVE!

We are also looking for snack donations to help our students perform well and feel good about State Testing.  Offering a snack per test can help bring a silver lining and help them stay engaged during assessments.

Parents are welcome to donate to the whole or donate to their student’s testing day.  We are looking for all the help we can get!

Tax Credit

The giving season is still upon us! This year’s tax credit giving goal is $100,000.00.

Your gift — large or small — will make a difference.

  • Culinary Arts: Restaurant quality cutlery, pots/pans, additional shelving, and supplies for the classroom
  • Fine Arts: Music for concerts, playbills, programs, paint, art supplies, and sound equipment
  • Full-Day Kindergarten Scholarship Grants
  • Library: Shelves and books
  • Health Care Supplies
  • Athletics
  • Clubs

There are TWO ways to give!

In addition, our Montessori Preschool School gives out around $45,000.00 a year in scholarship to those families in need, we are able to offer these scholarships because of the Arizona School tax credit program. The best part is whatever you contribute, you will receive dollar for dollar back on your state taxes. So, if you give $100, you can deduct that $100 off what you owe in taxes. You do not have to have a child at the school to pledge, you must only be an AZ State resident paying AZ State taxes.
