Fundraisers

These PTO programs are specifically focused on fundraising. All money goes toward helping our amazing teachers and making great experiences for our kids.

Online Payments

Should you ever need to make a payment or donation to the PTO, we can take:

Tax Credit Donations

State law allows Arizonans to contribute up to $400 to public schools for extra curricular activities and then deduct that amount directly from their state income taxes through a tax credit. Contributions must be postmarked by December 31 of the year to which you want to apply your tax credit. Individuals and couples filing jointly may take advantage of this tax credit. A maximum of $200 can be deducted per individual tax return, or couples filing a joint return may deduct a maximum of $400. You must have a receipt from your school to submit with your taxes.

Your tax credit donation helps students attend extracurricular activities like athletics; art and music programs; character education; and field trips. These programs develop well-rounded students who in turn build strong communities.

Clicking here will take you to the Kyrene District Tax Credit webpage.

Please remember to select Waggoner Elementary when making your donation. Thank you!

The Waggoner book fair is twice a year and is a chance for your child to shop at school for amazing books.

The 2023-2024 Book Fairs are scheduled for:

  • February 26-March 1st - It will be open during Parent-Teacher conferences February 29th.

Our school reading area is magically transformed into a bookstore with books for all ages! The Book Fair is open to students during lunch recess and to families one hour after school.

If you'd like to volunteer, we would appreciate your help! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0B49A8AC2BA7F49-44409415-fall

Feel free to reach out to the Book Fair Team with any questions: wagbookfair@gmail.com
