WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!

We are thrilled to present this year's first issue of the "Family Engagement Matters"
e-newsletter, brought to you by the Development and Marketing Team! Each month, we will share valuable fundraising updates, stories, volunteer opportunities and resources to keep you informed and engaged. As an essential part of the ASA community, your active participation and support make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, faculty and staff.

Meet Your Senior Leadership Team!
THANK YOU to all who've donated so far!
ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT TO FULFILL OUR LIST!
Let's make sure all four teacher workrooms have goodies and snacks!
It's time to kick off the new 2023-24 school year 🚀 and LAUNCH our Annual Giving campaigns for the year.

Last school year, our school community helped to raise more than $810,000 for ASA! Our hearts are full! ❤️ We're excited to work together to raise the goal of
$1 million this year -- we can do it together!
Have you set up your 2023-24 school year giving schedule yet?
If you've already made a gift or set up your recurring monthly gift, THANK YOU! 🚀

If not, you can make a one-time gift or set up easy monthly payments by clicking here (monthly gifts will begin this month - August).
SO MANY REASONS TO GIVE!
1. BRIDGE THE $1M GAP State funding alone does not cover the full cost of ASA’s dual education program. To bridge this gap, a minimum gift of $200/month per student ($2,000 annually) makes a real difference. Gifts surpassing $2,000 empower us to take our programs to the next level – give as generously as you can!

2. NURTURE YOUNG ARTISTS & SCHOLARS Support the high-quality performing arts available to your student(s) that boost their academic learning, creativity, and critical thinking.

3. ENRICH YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY From our innovative performing arts programming to the care and development of our campus, your donations enable us to enhance the educational experience of each student.

4. TAX-DEDUCTIBLE GIVING Make an Annual Fund gift and receive a tax-deductible receipt for your federal tax return. You can also make a Tax Credit gift that supports all ASA Clubs and Life Skills classes and receive up to $200 - $400 AZ tax credit.
⭐ Join the Circle of Giving through a yearly Annual Fund leadership gift of $2,000 or more. ⭐
As a Circle of Giving donor, you’ll enjoy access to donor-exclusive events and opportunities while also providing a critical base of funding that ensures ASA’s greatest capacity for impact is realized through high-quality and innovative programs. Learn more at GOASA.ORG/GIVE
Join the new ASA Parent/Guardian Connect Facebook group. Run by parents FOR parents!
It's with great joy that we post the 2023-24 Performance Calendar!
Look for further information from each department closer to the events.
