We are expanding PTF to include all parents and teachers, so we can better serve the parents and teachers at Lincoln Christian. We would like to see all parents involved in the school and special activities to build an even stronger Lincoln Christian community. Maybe you could be a helper in the teacher workroom, a helper in the classroom, chair a committee, groom flower beds, help with book fairs, or help with special one-time events.

Lincoln Christian is blessed with a strong Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) which is an important part of the success of the school. Each year the PTF has dozens of volunteer opportunities for parents of the school to get involved with the activities and life of Lincoln Christian. Every parent is encouraged to seek out opportunities to become actively involved. Children love to see their parents involved on a regular basis at the school and the school-parent relationship is strengthened by the investment of the parents' time.

Mission Statement
To involve parents in encouraging and supporting the teachers at Lincoln Christian School.

Vision
Each parent will be part of PTF--an active parent, involved in serving both individual teachers and the overall school family.
