These PTO programs are specifically focused on fundraising. All money goes toward helping our amazing teachers and making great experiences for our kids.
Should you ever need to make a payment or donation to the PTO, we can take:
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!

Step It Up is our annual school fundraiser-this single fundraiser supports our school and PTO for the entire year. Last year the Waggoner PTO funded workshops for teachers; start-up funds for each classroom and grade level support funds; supplies for the health office; school wide Science Fair; Trunk or Treat; Turkey Trot; Student-showcase; Book Fair; Carnival and the Yearbook. We raise those funds primarily with one annual fundraiser.

The Legacy Tile Wall beautification project is a great way for you to leave your family’s mark at Waggoner! Tiles cost $30 and will be installed in our newly renovated courtyards. Proceeds will benefit future improvements to our outdoor spaces and our PTO upcoming activities.
Legacy Tile take-home kits are $30 and you can use the form below to order one. Once your order is placed, you tile will be sent home in your student’s backpack with all the supplies they will need to paint their tile!
If you have any questions or if you would like more info on our upcoming tile painting events, please contact Meghann at WaggonerPTOart@gmail.com.
Per community feedback; this year's shirt will be softer and fit better. These types of comfortable shirts cost more, so the price is $15/shirt.
Presale allows you to select the sizes you need for you and your family without the worry of those particular sizes selling out. It will also prevent the PTO being left with 100+ leftover shirts. This is a win-win for the entire Waggoner Community.
We are looking forward to everyone wearing their REACH FOR THE STARS shirt this School Year!
Be sure to get your T-Shirt Order in by Wednesday, August 7th. $15 each.
