Dear
Arizona Residents,
As
the year draws to an end, I’m thinking about what I always think about: our students.
After
more than 40 years working in education, from teaching in local district
schools to opening and teaching in a private school, to converting the private
school to a charter school when the Charter School Movement first began, I’m
convinced the most powerful tool we have to prepare more kids for college, career,
and life is the small school that controls the class size and offers
individualized educational opportunities to all students such as Telesis
Preparatory Academy.
Telesis
has been educating students in Lake Havasu City since 1991 and we have a
genuine and sincere interest in making it the best school it can be. Students
have been asking for a gymnasium on our campus for many, many years. The
process has been long and hard, but the final steps were achieved last week. Telesis
Preparatory Academy will break ground on the new gymnasium on Wednesday,
January 8th, 2014. Since I know how passionate you are about helping
our students succeed and the extracurricular activities that they all deserve
to have, some which will take place right in our very own new gymnasium, I
wanted to ask for your help.
It takes parents, teachers, administrators, all of us coming
together, to create the kind of school our children deserve.
We
have only five days left this year. Your $400 (if you are married and file
jointly or $200 if you file as a single) will help us to continue to offer
extracurricular activities in the only non-profit charter school in Havasu. One
that has been “home-grown” to fit the needs of our students with a philosophy
of planned progress inherent in our very name, Telesis.
Please make a tax credit donation to Telesis Preparatory Academy
now by completing the form at the link below with your check for the amount you
choose and dropping it in our drop box or mailing it to 2598 Starlite Lane Lake
Havasu City, AZ 86403.
I
have taken that brave step to start a charter school in our community and have worked
hard to bring a gymnasium to our campus for students whose families have chosen
Telesis Preparatory Academy as the educational choice best suited for their
children. Therefore, we need to be ready to support their every ambition that
we possibly can and that includes extracurricular activities.
For
22 years, Telesis Preparatory Academy has been a part of the fabric of the
educational community in Lake Havasu City, so we look to you the residents of
our city and our state to help with this endeavor to provide extracurricular
activities of all kinds for our students.
Telesis
Preparatory Academy gives parents, students and teachers the freedom to find
creative, innovative ways to respond to students’ unique needs. But to continue
providing this kind of support for extracurricular activities for students who
will soon have a brand new gymnasium we can all be proud of, we need your help
right away.
Please
help us before midnight, December 31. Our students will be grateful for the
extracurricular activities they love that round out their quality education at Telesis
and, in some cases, keeps them in school, but we need you to act now with a
tax-credit contribution before the year ends.
Let’s
make 2013 the year the tax credit contributions supported our school’s
extracurricular activities like no other year; the year the effort which has
literally taken years and years to secure the funding for our new gymnasium has
finally become reality. Please contribute to the Telesis Tax Credit
Program today.
Thank
you,
Sandra K. Breece, Ed.D.
