The State and school district are scaling way back on funding for extracurricular activities, including the music (band and guard) programs. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Give up to $400 to the Arizona Department of Revenue or donate the same $400 to the public school activity of your choice. What a dilemma!?! (What a no-brainer!!) We hope that your choice will be clear (and that you choose the MHS Band program as your recipient). Receive a state tax credit for the full amount you contribute up to $400 for married filing a joint return. Singles or Head of Household tax payers may contribute $200.
Mailers will be made available for each band student. These include more information and a tax credit deposit form. These also include a pre-addressed envelope to the MHS Bookstore Manager and a return envelope to be mailed back to you with your receipt (required for filing with your tax return).
It is as easy as 1-2-3!
1) Fill out the form. click here
2) Write your check for $400 made out to "McClintock High School". Please designate directly to MHS Band Program to help support our kids.
3) Mail your materials postmarked by no later than last business day of December. Please remember to place a stamp on your return envelope for a receipt. You can also pick up a receipt from the bookstore.
You may designate your donation to benefit your child only by indicating this on the form: add your child's name after "Band" to read "Band - John Doe".
