ALL SCHOOL NO SCHOOL January 15th
I was excited to see us jump right in where we left off, we are looking forward to a great second semester; I also want to send out a welcome to the many new kiddos that joined us, welcome to the San Tan community.
Thank you to everyone that participated in our 2017 Arizona Tax Credit program; we are continuing to tally the final totals. However, initial numbers coming in show that we came extremely close to our goal. These monies go to help out with daily extracurricular and charter activities that many of you have come to expect from San Tan.
Our New Year Paper Drive has begun, because of this great drive San Tan has never had to spend funds to buy paper thanks to all of our families! The front office will be keeping track of reams of the white ream paper brought in for each teacher. Please drop off reams of paper with your teacher’s name on it; the winning class will receive a pizza party and a $125.00 school supply gift card. Let the paper drive begin!
Preschool – 12th grade School Enrollment packets for the 2018/2019 school year will go out later this coming week. Please pay special attention to the return date of the packets, missing the deadlines could place your family into the school lottery. With five kiddos myself, I know how cumbersome this packet can be, please carve out time to complete it in its entirety along with any additional items needed. If you have a sibling that you would like to attend next year, please contact the school office so that we can send additional paperwork home at 222-0811. Summer camp enrollment will be out in March.
BOX TOPS! We should be getting our first check very soon from the first half of the year. The good news is it’s $429.20! Free money to the school. (insert cheering noise here)
Let’s step it up Roadrunners! Collection sheet attached – print and fill it up with non-expired Box Tops ONLY please. Bonus certificates please collect in a plastic bag or envelope and send them in to the front office.
Our total last year was $1,657 so we have a HUGE opportunity to beat that and bring money (did I say FREE money) to the school!
San Tan Multicultural Fair will be Friday, January 25th. As a community, we are so excited to introduce and spotlight the wonderful cultures and traditions represented among our San Tan community. We need your help! If you are interested in participating please using the sign up genius link.

To sign up to bring donations or to sign up to help the day of the event please use the sign up genius link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0945a8ae2fa3fb6-charlie. We will need many helpers the morning before the event to prepare. We look forward to another fun filled celebration.
On Thursday, November 9th, San Tan Charter School will pledge to be drug free with a red out; please send your kiddos to school in red. Students will gather on the field at 10:AM for a balloon launch. We have arranged for a drone with a camera to be flying overhead taking pictures of the whole event. After the launch students wearing red will be asked to stay on the field, will be organized into a ribbon shape on the field as the drone takes a group picture.
Come join us this Thursday, November 9th for San Tan Basketball Madness at 6:00PM! This is a fun way to kick off the season. All of our basketball teams will play a 10-minute scrimmage and in between games both kids and adults in attendance will have an opportunity to participate in fun basketball competitions. The varsity basketball team will also have a slam dunk contest and a team three-point shooting contest. Don’t miss out on your first chance to see all of our teams in action as the San Tan Varsity team gets ready to win back-to-back state championships.

The tax credit program is the perfect way to give and support San Tan Charter School. The program is a win/win for everyone. By redirecting your tax dollars, you will support special programs at San Tan Charter School such as Music Education, which each student participates in and Physical Education, in which students participate in daily. It also provides weekly Library time for our students. The best part, is whatever you contribute, you will receive dollar for dollar back on your state taxes. So, if you give $100, you can deduct that $100 off what you owe in taxes. If you are a married couple, you may only contribute up to $400. If you are single, the total amount that you can contribute is $200. A one-time contribution is also wonderful.
