Hello ASA Parent/Guardian Community!

We just wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended the Annual Parent Meetings last month! We had more than 200 parents/guardians join. Your presence and participation were truly heartwarming, and we want you to know how much we appreciate your support in making these meetings and the upcoming school year a great success – thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 🫶

For those who were unable to attend, we'd like to assure you that we are dedicated to keeping you informed about school funding needs and support. We've included some helpful links below. You can access a recording of the meeting (it's less than 30 minutes!), a digital copy of the information packet, and the Annual Giving Agreement. We hope you find this information helpful, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! We'll also be on campus during 3QP week to accept printed donation forms and answer any lingering questions.

Let's make the school year 2024-2025 one to remember! 📚

Your gift will support your child’s performing arts program and help provide an educational experience that is truly enriching and inspiring. We have received only about 36 forms back with gifts of variable sizes that were due on March 3. Please support our 100% Parent Participation in Giving initiative by making a pledge. ASA is a school like no other with a community of support like no other. We are confident that we will rise together and meet this challenge like our ASA community has done so many times in the past.

Together, we can provide the resources and tools your children need to be the best they can be! We can't wait to see all the amazing things your students will achieve this next school year through our collective support.

With much appreciation,

Leslie Religioso

Development and Marketing Director

ANNUAL REPORT 2022 - 23

We're so proud to share ASA's Annual Report for the 2022 - 23 Fiscal Year with you!

Through your giving, involvement, and support ASA had a terrific year filled with student accomplishments and opportunities, made possible by you!

THANK YOU!

📣 HEY, DID YOU

HEAR THE NEWS?

You can support the extracurricular club and life skills programs at ASA while also getting a dollar-for-dollar credit on your State of Arizona taxes! How cool is that?

By donating up to $200 (individual) or

up to $400 (joint, married), you'll be helping to fund amazing programs that offer students a wide range of enriching activities and opportunities, but you'll also get to reduce your tax liability.

So come on, let's make a difference together! We need about $64,000 to meet our tax credit campaign goal!

REMEMBER to make your tax credit gift by April 15th to be eligible for the 2023 tax year.

TAKE ME TO THE TAX CREDIT PAGE!

Show some love for our students AND teachers during 3QP Week! (March 11 - 15, 2024)

WAYS YOU CAN HELP

VOLUNTEER! We're looking for ASA Parent/Guardian Volunteers to help with handing out treats, making or purchasing fun photo props for the "photo booth", assisting with taking photos, and more. The time and effort put into these presentations by the students and the long hours from our dedicated staff require lots of snacks, hydration, and goodies!

DONATE GOODIES! If you'd like to contribute 3QP Week treats sign up on the Sign Up Genius and send item(s) directly from Amazon or drop off the item(s) at school - PLEASE INCLUDE A NOTE THAT SAYS "3QP WEEK" so we can differentiate deliveries that are for other school clubs or events.

MAKE A GIFT! Make a monetary gift of support HERE.
