Tell a friend about tax credit
They say word of mouth is the best form of advertising. If you have taken advantage of the Arizona tax credit for contributions to public schools, and found it to be a good program, please tell a friend. Tell them it is good for them and good for our local public schools. For more information about the tax credit program, visit our website at www.havasu.k12.az.us/business/taxcredit.html or contact Jackie Taylor at 928-505-6917.

This summer food program will run from June 4, 2012 to July 20, 2012 and be offered at Jamaica Elementary, Nautilus Elementary, Smoketree Elementary, and Thunderbolt Middle School.
