Here comes a tax return season. My husband and I submit our tax form online on February 10th.
My husband’s corporate headquarters is located in another state, and so it does not collect the state tax from every pay check. We were given one option to choose; either to pay directly to State or choose our favorite organization and donate to it to get a credit for the state tax. We decided to donate to my daughter’s school.
At school, the vice principal gave me a request form. In the form, they asked me how we would like them to use our donation money. There are three or four options already written, so I marked the field trip for my daughter’s class.

On the next day, my daughter’s class teacher shared the information with her class that we donated for their field trip. The class said thank you to my daughter. They are all excited for a field trip.
Her school does not have a field trip every year. At the kindergarten, there was no field trip. At the first grade, they went to the local pumpkin field. At the second grade, they went to the local high school and had some presentation and games. At the third grade, no field trip. Now at the fourth grade, we gave them an opportunity.
I didn’t know until now that their field trip fully depends on the fund. I decided to keep donating to my daughter’s school to make their field trip happen.
