The Aviator Beacon
Inspiring the Leader Within
November 8, 2019
From Mrs. Williams
November brings us cooler weather, fall colors, & many school events. We have so much to be grateful for here at Auxier Elementary. From the wonderful staff, caring custodians, giving PTO, supportive parents, & outstanding teachers, I know your children are in good hands each day & will get a school experience like no other.
Thank you to the Veteran’s Day Committee for honoring our special guests!! Our annual event is an opportunity to remember, honor, & show gratitude to those who have served or continue to serve for our country. Thank you to the men & women of the United States Military for your service!!
Thank You Veterans!
Veteran's Day is a day to remember those who died and those who served in our military. We honor every soldier who fought for our country. President Truman once said, “Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul."
On Friday, November 8, the Auxier community wants to say THANK YOU to our veterans by serving breakfast, having our lovely choir sing, and honoring current and former service members at a special recognition ceremony.
Thank you Veterans for your service!
Dear Veterans,
Thank you for serving our country and risking your lives for our freedom. We respect and thank you for all you do for us. You are very brave and have great courage. Again we thank you for your service.
Leader In Me - How A Compass Can Help
TAX CREDIT DONATIONS HELP US FUND FIELD TRIPS AND GREAT PROGRAMS!
Did you know our school relies on tax credit donations to fund field trips and other programs at our school? When paying your Extra-Curricular fees, please consider donating up to the maximum allowable. Every dollar helps us fund the many great things we do here at Auxier: field trips, Accelerated Reader, Scholastic, and Time for Kids, just to name a few.
When making your donation, you can choose to have it directed toward a specific grade level or to go to the general fund.
Arizona law ARS 43-1089.01 enables taxpayers a tax credit contribution of up to $400 per calendar year if filing status is Married, filing Joint Return; $200 per calendar year if filing status is Single or Head of Household; and, $200 per calendar year if filing status is Married filing separate return — for contributions that fund extracurricular activities in public schools. A tax credit is a full refund, not a deduction.
