TAX CREDIT
Please consider making a Tax Credit donation. The Arizona tax credit program (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows a tax credit of up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples, filing jointly, in support of extracurricular activities. The tax credit reduces your tax burden to the state of Arizona, dollar for dollar. It also reduces your taxable income to the federal government, usually by 1/3 of your donation. You can submit online here or in the front office.

Wishing You a Wonderful Holiday Season!
Our motto for this week in school is:
Learn from others rather than compare yourself to others.
Comparisons usually have one of two results for our kids - they will either feel superior to someone or inferior. There will always be someone better and someone worse than our children. Using comparisons for judgment alone may make our kids feel insecure or arrogant, and neither is beneficial.
"Comparison is the thief of joy."
-Theodore Roosevelt
However, using comparisons to learn can be helpful. The goal for this week's insight is to be aware of when we are comparing ourselves to others and to shift our self-talk from judgment to learning. For example:
She is on experiment eight in science. I will never be that good.
to
Wow, she is already working on experiment eight.
Maybe she has some ideas that will help me with experiment seven.
Comparisons can be helpful if we let them! Becoming aware of whether our comparisons are for learning or for judgment is the first step. Let's help our students understand the difference!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday break,
Danna Evans
