The core mission of the Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) here at First Baptist Christian School is to partner with teachers, administration, and parents through effective communication, social events, and intentional fundraising efforts to foster a loving and enriching environment for each family.
Benefits of Membership
While your membership in PTF provides benefits such as free admission to our quarterly events and a free gift here at FBCS we feel the most important benefit of your involvement is the impact it has on your student and their classmates. Research shows that parent involvement makes a quantified impact on student achievement at various levels such as grades, social skills, attendance, mental health, enjoyment at school, and more. You can read more about this research at ptotoday.com.
