 Would your family enjoy hosting an intern from Taiwan from March 17 – May 25, 2018? We will transport them from & to the BHM Airport if you will bring them to school daily the same hours that your child attends.

Donate 1/2 of the state of Alabama tax you owe to Scholarships for Kids. Dr. Rountree will be happy to help you—it takes about 7 minutes on My Alabama Taxes. If you “donate” half the tax you owe for the year— you can deduct it from your federal taxes as a charitable donation so it may save you money! One former parent who is a CPA at Jamison, Money, Farmer said it saved him over a $1,000 on his federal taxes last year.

Write a parent testimonial for our new website (4 hours).
