PTF NOTES JANUARY 2025

1. Thank you!
Thank you to all who participated and volunteered in December activities. The month was very busy and the committee greatly appreciates all who helped make it happen. 

2. School Promotion
CCS is working to promote the school and encourage new enrollment! Here are some ways you can help: write positive reviews on all social media platforms, distribute flyers to neighborhoods and small businesses, Mrs. Bednar is also looking for one more family to participate in a featured family campaign, etc. Contact Mrs. Bednar if you are interested in participating in the Featured Family opportunity.

3. Pop Up Shop
Pop- Up Shop extended to February 3. We need a volunteer to help Sara Todd in the last week of February handle and sort the orders to be distributed.

4. Uniform Exchange
Volunteer Needed for uniform closet clean up. One or two people needed to make sure clothes are properly sorted, folded, and generally tidied up. It is a simple project that just needs a person or two to spend a few hours of attention.

5. February Events

-February 6th - Day of Prayer: a sign up list was emailed out to volunteer for a spot. Prayer lists are provided.
-February 10th - Breakroom Blessings: The committee will coordinate with Middle School families to arrange goodies for teachers and staff in the work room. 
-February 14th - Valentine's Day: It is a half day, but all classes will celebrate that Friday from 11-12. Middle school will be in the gym. Elementary will be in the classrooms. Second grade will be on the playground. Room parents will coordinate with teachers on what the party will involve. Room parents will help get a class list for the parents. Remember to include all students.

6. March Events

-March 20 - Chick Fil A breakfast for teachers: The front office will organize.
-March 21 - Grandparents Day: Ms. Chandler would like to have a volunteer to help facilitate this activity. May need a committee as well. Today we discussed limiting the activity to just elementary school. It will be a chapel and then a lunch immediately following. Plans and details are still being discussed and will be finalized.

7. Immediate Need  
The snack cart needs to be organized and running ASAP. The snack cart is a fundraiser for the 7th and 8th grade trip in May. Last year it raised enough money to take off $100 from each child.  We are in need of an adult to be in charge of ordering and restocking. There also will be a sign up genius created to have adults present for the snack card sales. More details to come, but need a volunteer in charge.

Next PTF meeting is February 20th.

PTF Mission Statement:
Parent Teacher Fellowship is a group of parents that build community within the school by bridging parental involvement with the teachers and staff.  This is accomplished through school- wide events, such as our school fundraiser (Lap- A-Thon), classroom partied, teacher appreciation, breakroom blessings for the teachers, and our end of year celebration. We need a LOT of volunteers to make this successful!
