Who is PTL?   YOU ARE! Our PTL, Parent Teacher League, is comprised of ALL school parents, staff, and congregation members of Good Shepherd. The PTL is our parent support group that is responsible for many of the good things you see in and around the school. Each year they host several social events (Fall Festival, "Soup"er Bowl, etc...) in addition to raising funds for our school. Some fundraising activities we have previously done include sales of pizza, Christmas trees, and candy, the annual Golf Outing, and Walk-a-thon. Throughout the year there are 5 online meetings (Sept., Nov., Jan., Mar., May) where all members of the PTL (YOU!) can give input for how money is raised/spent, and opportunities to volunteer for various school events.     Our current PTL Board includes Heather Bradley, Julie Haversack, and Emily Hainstock. Please feel free to contact them or the school office with any questions or to help with upcoming events. (Their numbers are in the school directory.) They are a fabulous group that make this look easy.   Please watch the school newsletter for announcements on when meetings are taking place. We want to hear from you!
