DECEMBER CHARITY DRIVE
Together we can help.
It is an awful truth that many people, even in our community, are victims of violence. Often times these people seek help from local organizations. Family Haven, an organization in Forsyth County, offers safe shelter and needed items, for free to those in need. We can help them help others, by donating. Cold winter weather is quickly approaching. Many people are in need of warm gloves and socks.
Make a difference in someone’s life. Be kind and generous and bring in one or more pair of gloves and/or socks.
Your donations can be dropped off at the front office or your child can give them to his/her homeroom teacher.
We will accept donations until December 16th.
STATE TAX CREDIT APPLICATION
Dear FSA Families,
I would like to remind you about the State Tax Credit Scholarship Program.
Please be informed that even if you make a joint application for $2,500, most likely half of it will be approved. Last year 60% of it was approved since this program is very popular and they have more applications than the State’s limit. So each year they proportion the amounts to give a chance to everyone who applied before the deadline. You don’t need to pay anything at this time. You can pay the approved amount around late March. They will inform you of the approved amount around late January. You don’t lose anything because you will receive a tax credit on your state income taxes and a charitable deduction on your federal incomes taxes for the amount of your contribution. This is a great opportunity for our families and also for our school.
Please see details HERE and make your application before the December 15 deadline. Thank you for all you do.
ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN - OUR GOAL IS 100% PARTICIPATION
Dear FSA Families,
Our Annual Giving Campaign is well on its way and we would like for you to be a part of the giving. Our goal is 100% participation.
