Parent Teacher Fellowship
Thank you for visiting the Elementary Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) website. On behalf of the PTF, I warmly welcome you to Briarcrest Christian School. PTF is an organization of volunteers dedicated to encouraging BCS faculty, staff and families. Each year we plan and host events that honor God and create opportunities to meet people, serve others and have fun. All parents are invited to participate and volunteer in PTF activities.
PTF has events planned for all ages this year. We provide opportunities to serve and be served. For a full listing please see below. PTF welcomes everyone and we’d love to talk with you. We also encourage you to attend our regularly scheduled meetings on the first Thursday of each month except for the January meeting. We meet in the Cox Room which is located at the entrance to the football stadium. The meetings will begin around 8:15.
