Parent Teacher Fellowship
	The Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) is an organization created to build and maintain communication between the parents and teachers. Each family enrolled at Providence is automatically a member of the PTF. We accomplish the task as partners in a covenant school by creating fellowship opportunities, sponsoring training for parents on relevant topics, and engaging parents as volunteers in the life of the school. In addition to the volunteer committees, PTF has regular prayer groups open to all Providence parents. For more information please feel free to contact the PTF Co-Presidents  Addie Turner and Deanna Grice or any of the PTF board members listed below.   Vice-President/High School Gayla Stahl HS Parent Sponsor Coordinator Salli Bougas Vice-President/Elementary Diane Martin ES K-3 Room Mom Coordinator Jennifer Hearn Secretary Andrea Byers  ES 4-7 Room Mom Coordinator Jill Yost Treasurer Jill Mymudes Communication Sharon Fisher                         Parent Volunteer Committee Descriptions Please review the following PTF Committees for ideas on ways you can get involved.
