Parent-Teacher Fellowship (PTF)
At Cary Christian School, we believe parent involvement is one of the foundations of the strength of our school. PTF is a volunteer organization providing support and fundraising to our school, and would not be possible without the generous support of our CCS family. All parents of enrolled CCS students are encouraged to participate in various service, social, and fundraising events, with various levels of time commitments. We look forward to your support and participation!

Volunteer Opportunities
The PTF Executive Committee meets once/month to plan school events, discuss new ideas and brainstorm improvements. There are many openings on the Executive Committee to coordinate specific events. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, we would love to have you join us.
In addition, every PTF event needs many volunteers. As a member of our school family, we would love to have you serve in any of these areas throughout the year. Watch for sign-ups, via email, throughout the year.
