Subject: Support Villa Students with the Public-School Tax Credit

Dear Parents,

I would like to remind you of a fantastic opportunity to support our Villa students through Arizona’s Public School Tax Credit program. If you haven’t yet contributed the maximum amount of $400 (for couples filing jointly) or $200 (for individuals), there is still time to do so before the April 15 deadline. When you donate $400, you will receive $400 back on your taxes as a credit or refund. It’s a win for both you and Villa!

Your tax credit donation directly enriches our students’ experiences by supporting important programs such as:

- Art and ceramics

- Gardening

- Drama and character education

- Athletic equipment and activities

These programs are vital for our students’ growth, and your generosity makes them possible.

Click https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/VillaMontessori/taxcredit.html

to donate now and make a difference in your child's education.

Thank you!
