Dear Brandon,

Spring Break is closing in on us!

Before we go for some fun in the sun, STCS has some amazing community events coming up, including our Annual Montessori Gala (March 9), our Spring Play (Charlotte’s Webb) and our quarter 3 parent-teacher conferences.

Also, the day before we return from Break, April 1, STCS culinary invites students to a FREE spaghetti dinner to prepare our students for the upcoming State Tests! We are excited about the effort our students and teachers have put in this year to make sure our students are successful, so we want to make sure our kids have the best possible advantages of being well-taken care of before the tests!

Montessori Gala Fundraiser

Join us for our special evening of art and entertainment this Saturday at the annual Montessori Gala Saturday!. This year we are hosting a Masquerade Ball. Dinner will be served by our culinary crew and the Montessori art auction is said to be one of the finest! Click here to RSVP: https://yqysjrrxph.formstack.com/forms/masquerade_gala

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.

With your support, we can continue to provide the programs outlined below;

  • 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.
