PAPER DRIVE UPDATE!!

Please start purchasing your paper now! Our PAPER DRIVE begins Jan. 3rd 2012! You may continue to donate paper any time as well as other office supplies..
A pizza party will be given to the grade that brings in the most reams of paper!

Other middle schools received an overwhelming amount of paper, at least 100 cases.  We are the best middle school on the eastside, just wish we could have had the bragging rights... LOL

SECRIST SPORTS

SECRIST SPORTS

Basketball & Volleyball tryouts are starting soon. If your child is interested in trying out for any of our sports program, they will need to have the following items turned in on or before the first day of tryouts. These items include… 

o   A current physical examination, signed by your doctor.

                  o   An Interscholastic Emergency Information Card 

o   Parent/Guardian permission slip

 

o   Participation fee of $20

You can pick up all these items and pay for the fee in the front office.

Basketball & Volleyball tryouts will start Tuesday Aug. 23rd & will begin right after school. Students will be ready for pickup at 4:30pm. Please be on time as there will be no monitors on duty. More information will be given out during practice. 

Thank you for your interest in Secrist Sports

We were very fortunate that Secrist is able to have our 1st and 2nd quarter sports. Our Girls Volleyball & Boys Basketball try outs will begin next week ! PTA wishing you luck!

Unfortunately,  our funds for sports are running very low. We are in dire need of  your tax credit donations, to be able to end our 3rd quarter sport which is soccer.

Please DONATE NOW!!When you contribute to the tax credit program at SECRIST MIDDLE SCHOOL before Dec. 31, your state tax liability will be reduced by the amount you contribute. In other words, you get your money back, dollar-for-dollar, in the form of a tax reduction.

You can dedicate up to $4OO for couples; $2OO for individuals; however, any amount makes a difference!

ARIZONA TAX CREDIT

What is the Arizona School Tax Credit program?

Tax credit contributions support arts and after-school activities, including sports and tutoring. When you contribute to a tax credit program at a TUSD school before Dec. 31, your State tax liability will be reduced by the amount you contribute.

In other words, you get your money back, dollar-for-dollar, in the form of a tax reduction.

How much can I contribute?

• Any amount will help: $5, $10, $20 etc…
• Single individuals (or married, filing separately) can receive a credit of up to $200.
• Married couples filing a joint return can receive a credit of up to $400.

Why should I give money to a school?

With limited school funding, students do not always have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. School tax credit contributions can provide SECRIST students with opportunities such as after-school programs, tutoring, arts and music education, and after-school sports. Simply put, tax credit contributions make possible a wide variety of learning opportunities that our students might not otherwise have.

Send your tax credit and help support our school. Here’s how…

Mail or deliver this form with your check payable to Secrist Middle School by Dec. 31. You may also sign up via web at www.tusd1.org or call 520-731-5300
