Dear Friends,

We hope this message finds you well! We are excited to share some updates about Van and provide information on how you can take advantage of Arizona’s tax credit opportunities to support education. Arizona taxpayers can utilize both the public school tax credit and the private school tax credit without them interfering with one another—an excellent way to reduce your Arizona tax liability while positively impacting students' education.

By participating in the private school tax credit and designating Van as the beneficiary, you directly contribute to his education. The beauty of this dollar-for-dollar tax credit is that you can deduct the same amount from your Arizona state taxes when you file for 2024. Essentially, your net cost is zero, but the impact on Van’s education is immeasurable.

Van is now in fifth grade at Castlehill Country Day School, marking his final year at the school he has attended since Pre-K when he was just four years old. Now 11 and the oldest student in the school, Van is eagerly soaking up his last year in this incredible learning environment. This year, he’s especially enjoying building in his legos robotics club, exploring science, playing soccer, doing graphic design and learning the 3D printer that fifth graders get to use. Your tax credit donations make experiences like these possible and enrich his learning in ways we couldn’t achieve without your support.

If you contributed your tax dollars to Van last year, we sincerely thank you. We ask you to consider supporting him again this year as he wraps up his private school journey. Your donation is anonymous, so please let us know if you decide to contribute. Every dollar directly supports Van’s education and helps provide a strong foundation for his transition to middle school.

You can contribute to Arizona Tuition Connection anytime between now and April 15, 2025. Be sure to specify Castlehill Country Day School as the beneficiary school when making your matched, dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful impact on Van’s education. We deeply appreciate your generosity and support as Van completes this important chapter of his educational journey.

Best,

Cody, Jenna, Gwen & Van
