Mission Statement

Our mission is to support the families, staff, and faculty of Little Rock Christian Academy through volunteers, events, and fundraising.

Anyone who is the parent or guardian of a student enrolled at Little Rock Christian and who subscribes to the policies and philosophy of the school and PTF, is a member.  PTF has a governing council consisting of Executive Officers.  The council meets monthly to discuss and vote on business of the PTF.  These meetings are typically the 2nd Monday of each month at 8:15 a.m. in the conference room at the old Business House.  All Little Rock Christian parents are welcome to attend.  The Executive Officers are selected by recruitment or volunteering for a minimum of one or two year terms, depending on the office.  Committee Chairpersons also volunteer or are recruited to serve for a typical term of two years.

If you have questions, contact the appropriate Executive Council Officer.

Upcoming Events

Internet Safety Parent Program: Date to be announced in the fall. Members from the Attorney General's Office will provide important information about internet safety.

Fundraising

Great American Opportunities
We raised over $33,000.00 during our fall (07) fundraiser with Great American Opportunities.  Look for new and exciting styles of wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbon and Christmas gifts for friends and loved ones. In addition, unique handmade items such as jewelry, scarves, baskets and more will be for sale from the catalog. These one of a kind items are produced by workers living in impoverished parts of our world. Part of the proceeds raised will go toward improvements in their daily basic needs such as upgrading their water and food supply. Don’t forget that you can continue to order online with this fundraiser throughout the year.  Please see the web address on this page under the Related Web Sites (gafundraising.com)

Silent Auction

All directories will be sent home with your family's youngest student in mid-September.

Kroger Cards (K-Kards)
Join the PTF in the pursuit of "easy money" for our school! Purchase a Kroger Card through the Parent Packet or at the bookstore for $5.00, load any dollar amount on it before your groceries are scanned and LRCA gets 5% of each transaction! Below is a breakdown of the potential earnings for our school if all of our families participated. Also, to show our appreciation for using your Kroger  K-Kards, we will have a monthly drawing.  If your name is drawn,  you will receive a $20.00 gift card from Kroger. You helped raise $11,000.00 last year for our school just by using your K-Kards.
