Purpose

The Parent and Teacher League (PTL) organization is a service organization made up of the parents, guardians, and teachers of T-SJ.   Upon enrollment of your child in T-SJ, you become a member of PTL. The only cost to you is your service. The overall mission of PTL is to assist Trinity-St. John Lutheran School in fulfilling the command of Jesus Christ to teach the Gospel in this world.  PTL is essential to our school's success and provides necessary services and resources for the entire school.  
                    
The purpose of PTL is to provide resources for the school in the following areas:

• Promote Christian education in our community.
• Foster Christian training in our homes and school.
• Promote parent involvement at Trinity-St. John.
• Provide opportunities to build relationships with other families and staff.
• Encourage harmony between congregations.
• Support the school through various fundraising activities.
• Provide educational resources and opportunities for parents.

Each and every person is a vital part of helping our children to "grow in wisdom and faith" by being an active member of PTL and making it a true service organization.

To become a better service organization, it is important to assess the needs and talents of our membership and school community.  Opportunities for participation will be published in our newsletter, "The Communicator" and announced at the monthly meetings. Please contact a PTL officer or the school office for more information.
