Dear Friends,

We wanted to update you on the kids and how they're doing!

John is in 4th grade and Luke in 2nd grade at St. John XXIII Catholic School.  We are really excited for them to belong to a community of faith and be provided with a Catholic education that promotes academic excellence, quality of character, social responsibility, and spiritual growth all while becoming a living example of God's love for others.

In ways to lower their tuition fees, I've learned about the AZ tax credit program. If you didn't know already, Arizona gives you the choice of how your taxes are used. You can allocate state income tax dollars to create scholarships for kids like ours in private schools at no net cost to you. This is not a donation, but it's income taxes that we all have to pay anyhow. Feel free to watch the video at the bottom of this page which explains how this works.

Chuck and I are re-directing our income taxes to assist another family since we can't utilize it directly for John or Luke and would be so grateful if you'd do the same for us to lower their tuition fees.

When you file your 2024 or 2025 taxes, you can deduct your contribution from your Arizona state tax liability. This means if you owe taxes, your balance due will be reduced by the amount you contributed. If you're expecting a refund, your refund will increase by the same amount.
