💙 Kindness Week – Throughout the month, we encourage students to engage in activities that promote kindness, positivity, and a strong sense of community. Let’s work together to make Bologna a place where kindness shines!
📚 Book Fair – Don’t forget to visit the Book Fair in the library during parent-teacher conferences! This is a great opportunity to find new books while supporting our school.
Thank you for your continued support in making Bologna Elementary a place where students thrive! Wishing you a fantastic month ahead!
This week, we are excited to celebrate Kindness Week at Bologna Elementary, where we focus on the power of kindness and how small acts can make a big difference. Whether it’s a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or lending a helping hand, kindness is a powerful force that spreads joy and builds a positive community.
While we’re highlighting kindness this week, we want to remind everyone that kindness doesn’t have an expiration date. Let’s make it part of our daily lives—by showing kindness to others, we create a more caring and supportive environment for all. Remember, every day is a great day to be kind!
Let's continue to inspire each other with kindness, not just this week, but every week!

Arizona Tax Credit: A Simple Way to Give Back and Save
Did you know? Arizona law ARS 43-1089.01 enables taxpayers a tax credit contribution of up to $400 per calendar year if filing status is Married, filing Joint Return; $200 per calendar year if filing status is Single or Head of Household; and, $200 per calendar year if filing status is Married filing separate return — for contributions that fund extracurricular activities in public schools. A tax credit is a full refund, not a deduction.
