Flagstaff Junior Academy  Upcoming Events
Dear FJA Community
 

FJA has a great Community! As is often the case, the unpredictable weather in Flagstaff struck again! Our 5th-8th graders all went to the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival at the Orpheum on Wednesday, Oct. 6th. Due to torrential rain and tornado warnings we needed to summon parents to help transporting all middle school students back to school. A few phone calls were made and miraculously help appeared!
 
Thanks to all of you for being there when we need you!

Tax Credit
 PUT YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO WORK FOR EDUCATION
Donate up to $400 to Flagstaff Junior Academy by December 31
 Arizona offers a dollar-for-dollar tax credit (Public School Activity Fee) up to $200 for individual income tax filers, $400 for married couples filing a joint return and $200 for couples filing separate returns. This means your state income tax liability will be reduced by the full amount of your contribution - up to zero. (If you have extra credit left over, you can carry it forward for up to five years.) This is a full refund, not a deduction.
