https://www.tanqueverdeschools.org/page/tax-credit-donation
Arizona law provides a "dollar-for-dollar" tax credit to the taxpayer when they make a Tax Credit donation to a public school to support extracurricular activities or character education.
When making a Tax Credit donation, the taxpayer designates where a portion of their tax dollars are spent, and those tax dollars will go DIRECTLY to the TVUSD school and/or program selected.
Thank you for your support !

🎁 TVES CHEER AND CHARITY 🎄
As the holiday season approaches, it is the perfect time to reflect on how fortunate we are here at TVES. It is also a great time to look at ways to spread our good fortune and teach our children about the importance of helping others.
For the past few years, our school has chosen to help students facing barriers at Prince Elementary School. This year we will be sharing our cheer at Keeling Elementary as well. In total we have adopted eight first and second grade students at Prince and eight PreK-K-6th grade students and their families, totaling a one hundred person plus! All of those lucky enough to participate in the "giving." Our plan is to have our students deliver a BLANKET, GAME, BALL, TOY, AND BOOKS for each child on Monday, December 8th. The third and sixth grade buddy classes will be working together to gather, wrap, and deliver the gifts. Please send any donations to your child's classroom by December 3rd.
YOU CAN HELP BY SENDING IN THE ITEM ASSIGNED TO YOUR GRADE LEVEL(S)
Kinder, Gordon & Foster: sports balls
1st, Ridgway & Basler: blankets
2nd, Marr & Daley: board or card games for all ages
4th: new books for all ages
5th & Adkins: a toy (doll or action figure)
We are also collecting any gently used clothing or other household donations. Look through your closets and your neighbor's closets for any jackets, clothes, shoes and household items (no large electronics, please). ANY and ALL donations are welcome for they will be a blessing to those who receive them. We will have a place on campus to store/sort through gently used donations and any additional household items our children call us to give. You can send these to any 3rd or 6th grade classroom.
We appreciate your help making this project so incredibly meaningful for the students and families we are supporting.
The 3rd and 6th grade teams.
