Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF)

Every parent and teacher at Morris Christian School is automatically a member of the Parent Teacher Fellowship.    The primary purpose of this organization is to provide a channel through which the physical and financial needs of the school can be made known and through which the members and friends can help in supplying these needs.

The PTF has enhanced the school the Lord has provided in many ways.  Many relationships have been established along with many physicals needs provided such as new computers for the classrooms.  The more that are involved the more can be accomplished for His kingdom and our children.

The PTF Board and Committee Chairpersons will meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month.  Reports from each committee will be due by the day of the meeting.  While PTF Board and Committee Chairpersons meet every month, there will only be three required meetings a year for Parents and Teachers to attend.  These meetings will feature guest speakers, refreshments and fellowship.
