Dear Roadrunner,

I hope everyone enjoyed their extended weekend. Congratulations to the JH cheer team who brought home a first place finish at the CAA Cheer and Dance competition over the weekend!

As we approach the end of January, we start to think about tax season and the AZ state tax credit. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to support our school and receive a direct benefit on your Arizona state taxes. Married couples filing jointly can receive a maximum credit of $400, and single filers can claim up to $200.

Why Participate?

Not only will your donation directly benefit San Tan Charter School, but it also allows you to reduce your taxes while participating in a meaningful community effort.

Support Your Teacher's Success!

Grade Level Competition: Each grade will compete to raise the most tax credit donations.

Exciting Prizes: The winning grade levels will receive special rewards to encourage school spirit and participation.

Next week, I'll be including an update of each class and who is in the lead at the Recker campus. Keep in mind, any relative can contribute to our school using the AZ Tax Credit. Meaning, even Grandma or Grandpa or a friendly neighbor could contribute on behalf of your child. 

Upcoming Reminders:

• January 21st: Clubs Begin
• January 24th: Roadrunner Night Out
• January 27th: Gifted Parent Group Meet-Up at Recker Campus
• January 29th: Half-Day, Early Release / Science Fair
• January 31st: Rising Kindergarten Meet & Greet
• January 31st: 5th grade STEM Fest
• February 7th: Recker Family Dance/Game Night
• February 17th: No School
• March 1st: Montessori Gala

Kind regards, 

Katie Cox
