FUEL UP FOR A CAUSE - PIZZA FRIDAY IS HERE!

The AZ Lutheran Mission Club is hosting the final pizza lunch of the year to raise money to help cover the costs of upcoming summer mission trips. The last pizza lunch will be on Friday, May 8. If interested in a day off from lunch prep, make sure to sign up before next Thursday, May 7. Pizza will be from Costco: $3/single slice, $5/double slice.


DECLINE TO SIGN

Please continue to encourage friends and family to oppose attempts to put the “Protect Education, Accountability Now” initiative sponsored by the AZ Education Association and Save Our Schools Arizona and the “Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account Reform and Accountability Act” initiative, sponsored by FortifyAZ, on the November general election ballot.

First and foremost, pray! Pray for the protection of educational freedom in Arizona. Pray that the opposition will NOT collect the necessary signatures. Pray that the opposition will have their hearts changed and see that school choice is about putting students first, not funding school systems. Pray that peoples’ eyes will be opened to the harm this ballot initiative would bring to Arizona students, their families, and our private Christian Schools.

Encourage everyone in your school community to Decline to Sign both petitions. Become informed and share the facts about both initiatives with others.

a. Learn more at https://azlovesesas.com/. This is a great resource!

b. Check out AZCEC’s Action Center to print a Decline to Sign flyer and to share your school choice story. 

c. Read the article from the Goldwater Institute, which breaks down the negative impact this initiative would have on Arizona students and private schools. 

Financially support the Decline to Sign movement by giving to AZ Loves ESA and/or AZCEC. Their efforts cost money, and they need your support to get the word out! Arizona has been one of the top states for school choice for 30 years. This initiative would set educational freedom for Arizona students and families back tremendously.
