How can students turn their interests into meaningful action? That question was at the heart of today’s Fall Impact Summit, hosted by Rowland Hall’s Center for Community Impact. Upper School students explored topics ranging from housing affordability and environmental justice to civic engagement and the power of storytelling through breakout sessions led by community partners, faculty, and fellow students. They also connected with local organizations to discover opportunities to get involved. With “Designing for Impact” as this fall’s theme, today’s conversations and connections will inspire research and community engagement projects that students will share at the next Impact Summit in April.

We're taking care of business. 💪🌻

Last month, we led by example and replaced more than 2,500 square feet of non-functional grass with water-wise, native landscaping at the South Salt Lake Community Center. This partnership with Slow the Flow was supported with funding from Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and brought to life by amazing volunteers from OC Tanner through the United Way Day of Caring. We expect this garden to save over 75,000 gallons of water per year, all while providing habitat for native birds and bugs, and brightening the day of everyone who walks past it.

This new oasis will serve as a demonstration garden for community members to find inspiration and see what is possible when you remove your grass. Visit sslc.gov/water to learn about rebate programs that you can use to help fund your own landscape conversion project.

We’re still beaming from our Day of Caring project last week with United Way of Salt Lake! 💙✨

One of our favorite traditions is welcoming volunteers to host a special carnival day for children in our Therapeutic Preschool Program. From face painting and balloon animals to plenty of play and smiles, it’s always such a fun day for the children in our program.

We’re especially grateful for the wonderful women who help organize and support this event year after year. Your time, energy, and care make this tradition possible!

And thank you to Bill Crim, President & CEO, and Patrick McIntyre, Chief Development & Communications Officer, of United Way of Salt Lake for stopping by our center to say hello and see the fun in action.

We are so thankful for this continued partnership and another wonderful Day of Caring!

Happy National Nonprofit Day! 💜💛

Today we are proud to celebrate alongside the incredible nonprofit organizations across Utah working every day to strengthen our communities.

Through free tax assistance, taxpayer education, outreach, and advocacy, our clinic works to make the tax system more accessible for individuals and families in our community.

We’re grateful for the students, volunteers, staff, community partners, and supporters who make this work possible every day. 🙏

National Nonprofit Day is a great reminder that meaningful change often begins with people choosing to serve. We’re honored to be part of that work. 🫶

Here’s to nonprofits everywhere that educate, advocate, serve, and strengthen their communities!

🚗 The IRS mileage rates changed midyear for 2026, so make sure you’re using the right rate for when the miles were driven!

📅 January 1 – June 30, 2026
💼 Business/Self-Employed: 72.5¢ per mile
🏥 Medical: 20.5¢ per mile
🎖️ Moving (military only): 20.5¢ per mile
❤️ Charity: 14¢ per mile

📅 July 1 – December 31, 2026
💼 Business/Self-Employed: 76¢ per mile
🏥 Medical: 23.5¢ per mile
🎖️ Moving (military only): 23.5¢ per mile
❤️ Charity: 14¢ per mile

That means the business rate increased 3.5¢ per mile, while the medical and qualifying military moving rates each increased 3¢ per mile beginning July 1.

📌 Save this post for tax time! If you use your vehicle for a qualifying purpose, keeping good mileage records throughout the year can make things much easier when it’s time to prepare your return.

Have questions about how the mileage rules apply to you? Westminster Tax Clinic is here to help. 💜

Special delivery from Rocky-pup! 🐶
Our feel-good activity today was dropping off bags full of their favorite snacks (esp. seaweed from @traderjoes 😋)on the first day of school. 💟

Other ways to get your helpers high at Back-to-School time:

•Check out your local @unitedway, many are doing campaigns for donations of school supplies & backpacks for kids in need.
•And while you’re at it, check out @kidsinneed for their latest requests.
•Finally, @donorschoose and @nextdoor in your community, where teachers often post their wish lists.

As an educator myself, I can attest that it is 💯 impossible for the district-allotted funds to suffice for the year. Have NEVER heard of a (public school) teacher having “plenty”(or even enough) supplies for year. And with ~8.2 million school-aged kids in the U.S. living below the poverty line, there are plenty of needs to fill.

Lower-budget version, very helpful to students. (Believe it or not, many are every bit as stressed about school as we are about work and demands of life.) Write sincere notes of encouragement to the kids in your midst. Don’t text it!! Ask us older folks how many positive notes we are still holding onto. Little things mean a lot for a successful school year, especially your simple, kind words to remind them that they truly matter.💟

📣 Big IRS penalty relief change to know about!

The IRS has introduced Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) ,but there’s already plenty of confusion about what it actually means.

✅ You do NOT have to apply for AEP.
If you qualify, the IRS applies it automatically when processing your original return.

But that does not mean all penalties are disappearing. AEP applies only to certain failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, and failure-to-deposit penalties and only when eligibility requirements are met - including a history of timely compliance. ⏰

📌 Another important change: First Time Abate (FTA) isn’t disappearing immediately. It remains available for certain earlier returns, but for original returns with due dates January 1, 2027 and later, AEP will replace FTA.

And if you don’t qualify for AEP? You may still have other options, including reasonable-cause penalty relief or appealing an adverse IRS decision.

Take a look at the Myths vs. Facts breakdown so you know what this new IRS relief does - and doesn’t - cover.

We are so grateful to have received ACLU of Utah’s Torch of Freedom Award this year during their annual block party last week. Each coalition member has been an incredible partner and ally in the work to advocate for immigrant rights and we could not be more grateful to do this together. The load is lighter thanks to the incredible work of each and every person stepping up for immigrants right now.

Thank you @aclu_utah ✨
