The PTF provides opportunities to support SCS & promote community & fellowship among parents and staff. Parent Teacher Fellowship
Each one use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
At SCS, all staff, parents, alumni, and grandparents are considered members of the Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF). Our mission is to create strong bonds that link families to the Statesville Christian School community through faith, fellowship and service, while providing resources and funds that directly enhance the learning experience of students and provides encouragement to teachers and staff. Everyone is encouraged to lend some of their time and God-given talents to the many volunteer opportunities that exist at SCS. Volunteering at SCS not only helps make our school the best it can be, it is a great way that you can stay connected in the school, meet other families, and get to know teachers and students! PTF Fellowship & Volunteer Opportunities
Moms in Prayer: A confidential prayer group that meets on Friday mornings at 8:15 am in the Miller Building, Upper Campus Conference Room, to pray for our students, their families, and for our school. Come by and join us on Fridays! Wednesday Elementary Volunteers: You are invited to come volunteer every Wednesday morning and enjoy a time of fun and fellowship with other parent volunteers while helping SCS teachers from K-12 with various projects. There are volunteers typically from 8 am to about 11 am, and sometimes longer, depending on the work to be done that day. You can come as often and for as long as you wish. There are no set time commitments so it is easy to work within your schedule! Lunchroom Volunteers: You can come and distribute lunches once, twice or as many times a month as you are available. Duties include set-up, serving lunches, milk/water, in both the Elementary and Upper School lunch room. We also serve ice cream once a week in elementary. It is a fun way to get to visit with your student and to get to know their friends. Elementary Ambassadors: Class Ambassadors are dedicated to ministering to class families through prayer and offering of assistance in times of need. They also sponsor back-to-school parties and our annual Grandparent’s Day in the Elementary School.

These meetings and event dates and times will be communicated prior to the event. PTF Fund-Raising Opportunities
SCRIP Gift Cards: This is one of the easiest and most profitable ways to contribute to SCS. When you purchase a SCRIP Gift Card through SCS, our school is given a percentage (2-13%) of that sale back from the vendor and 1/2 of the profit is deducted from your tuition. There are thousands of vendor cards available! Order forms are available on the school website, in the offices, and are also sent out via email each week. Box Tops and Labels for Education: Another easy way to contribute! Cut Box Tops and Labels from participating products and turn them in to your teacher. The School gets 10 Cents for each label submitted! These add up fast! There are class competitions held throughout the year and prizes awarded to those who bring in the most. Merchant Rewards: SCS receives funds based on your purchases at various stores you use everyday! These include Target, Food Lion, Bi-Lo, Amazon and Lands End. Make sure your shopper number is linked to Statesville Christian School! PTF Sponsored Lunches: The first and third Friday of each month, PTF sponsors the school hot lunch program, usually a pizza day. A portion of the proceeds from the lunches sold go to PTF. You can support this fundraiser by volunteering to work the lunchroom on one of these days and also by purchasing the lunch for your child. Elementary Uniform Resale: We provide a uniform resale “store” in the elementary school, room #128. You are able to purchase clothes for $2 per item during school hours. You can donate your gently used uniform items at anytime. Family Night Out: Our Family Night Out events take place several times throughout the school year. These FNO’s are fun for the kids, as well as a fellowship opportunity for the SCS community. Dates and locations will be announced prior to each FNO. A portion of sales will go directly to SCS PTF!
