PTF- does it mean Plan the Funds, Put
to Fundraising, Play the Flute,
Pretty Terrific Feet or just Parent
Teacher Fellowship? I could come up with
more than a few acronyms, but I think it really
means the coming together of parents who give of
their time, money, talents and plain old hard
work to benefit our beloved school, Grace
Lutheran. Our board consists of a President,
Vice President, Special Events Coordinator,
Finance Controller, Secretary and a Pre-School
Liaison. Together, we plan, organize and employ
many fundraisers throughout the school year,
generating monies that go toward the improvement
of our school and the benefit of our students.
In recent years, we have made significant
improvements in our classrooms and around our
campus. Together with the hard work, generosity
and never failing drive of our supportive
parents and our PTF members, we get things done.
Without state sponsored funds, it is vital that
our fundraisers and efforts make a difference.
From Innisbrook Wrapping Paper Sales to Box Tops
for Education, our PTF Board and the parents who
donate their time chairing these events are
always hard at work for the benefit of your
children, my children and our remarkable school.
Aside from fundraising, we sponsor some pretty
fun stuff too! During Red Ribbon Week, we talk
about the dangers of drugs and the power to
“just say no”. Our children go to one of the
best accredited schools around and this is no
time to spare the complements; Teacher
Appreciation Week is another fun event and a
chance for us to let our teachers know just how
much we love them. We host the Ident- A- Kid
program, giving you the opportunity to have an
updated ID card for your child every year. The
Heritage Festival and Family Campout is a must
and if you have never attended, this is your
year! Don’t miss the fun and fellowship!
This year our PTF Board and the many parent
volunteers are moving full steam ahead. We
continue to work hard to achieve our goals for
this year, and secure an even more productive
next year. The possibilities are endless when we
come together for the glory of God.
PTF- Maybe it means
Praise the Father. Praise Him for our
school. Praise Him for our children. Praise Him
for our opportunities. And hopefully, sometimes…
just praise Him for who He is!
Stephanie Ezrilov- PTF
President
