The Senior Class would like to thank the SPA community for their support this year of the various senior fundraisers, including Dollar Doughnuts, Root Beer Floats, Trivia Night, T-shirt, Restaurant Nights Out, Museia Snacks, Bake/Snack Sales, and Archway Parent Nights Out. Your support has allowed the senior Disney trip to be 100% covered!
Special thanks go to: Kim Gleason (fearless leader), Betsey Gordon (treasurer), Danielle Tolson (finals snacks, bake sales, trivia night, homecoming, Museia and parents night out), Paola Gale (parents night out), Catherine Stahl (senior friendsgiving), Tracy Anctil and Karen Pederson (t-shirt sales), Julie Nichols (doughnuts), Kristen Zeno (root beer floats), Tressy Bossone (restaurant nights), Pat Mersiowsky (memory boards), Liz Williams (Disney t-shirts) and everyone else, parents and seniors, who worked the many events. It truly was a group effort. The entire Senior Class worked to achieve their goal of Disney Grad Night.
THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS TO SPA SENIORS!

YOU have made a difference this year!
Spartan families, your support this year has made a tremendous impact on the lives of our students! Did you know that annual
Community Investment
donations bridge the gap between public funds we receive for our students, and the cost we incur in keeping our class sizes small and offering a rigorous curriculum. Because of your donations to Community Investment, we do not have 40 seventh grade students in a math class. That scenario is experienced daily in our neighboring district schools. Thank you to each donor who made this year a big success!
Please click here for a current list
of our dedicated Community Investment donors. If you have yet to make a gift to our annual Community Investment Campaign, we would be most appreciative.
Art Club, Drama Club, Choir, Speech & Debate, Marine Biology Club and each and every athletic team offer to you their deepest thanks for a successful
Tax Credit campaign!
Thank you to each SPA family and friend of School who made their
2018 Tax Credit
contribution! Our athletic and extra-curricular programs are funded by tax credit dollars.
The AZ Public School Tax Credit is a huge boon to our students and school. With no money out of your pocket, you can make a difference in the lives of our Spartan students! The tax credit is a win-win as you receive a dollar for dollar credit on your state taxes. Thank you so much for your support!
