November 11 Update

Nov 11, 2021

It was a beautiful week at IST!

Pima County Health Department came out on Tuesday and vaccinated some of our students ages 5-11 and gave boosters to adults. Overall, they gave out over 150 vaccines!! A HUGE thank you to parents Lisa and Katie for volunteering and to the Pima County Health Department for making this pop-up possible!

That same afternoon, our running club and J3 student, Caleb, hosted a Run-a-thon. All the money raised will go to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. It is a nonprofit that provides financial support to the families of injured or deceased firefighters, police officers, military members and other emergency services workers. Thank you to Mrs. Abbey, Caleb, the running club for organizing the event and to our parent volunteers – it was a huge success!!

On to some more exciting news! Arizona Tuition Connection has announced that they will once again be offering a Giving Tuesday matching program for donations received on Tuesday, November 30th!

Key points to make certain you are aware of:

  1. Arizona Tuition Connection allows donors to make recommendations, but the matching funds will be pooled and given out to low-income students at your school who have applied to Arizona Tuition Connection.   The matched funds will NOT go to the student recommended by the donor.   
  2. Donations must be made on November 30th, 2021, to be matched.
  3. For any scholarships to be awarded, the student must have applied to Arizona Tuition Connection for the 21/22 school year and be eligible to receive low-income corporate scholarship awards according to the rules established by the State Dept. of Revenue.
  4. Please contact Arizona Tuition Connection at 480-409-4106 or info@arizonatuitionconnection.comwith any questions.  

And lastly, we will be saying goodbye to Ms. Jocelyne in our toddler room next week as her family is planning a move to Douglas. Do you know someone interested in working at IST in our awesome nursery program? Click here: https://www.istucson.org/vacancies/
