Every Red Hill Lutheran School parent is automatically a member of the PTF. All parents are encouraged to attend the monthly PTF meetings generally held on the 3rd Thursday of each month (September through May) at 3:15 p.m. at RHLS. One hour toward each family’s P.R.I.D.E. hour requirement can be earned by attending a meeting. Day care for Red Hill students is provided free of charge for the duration of the meeting.

The PTF helps promote open communication between parents and teachers and encourages both parties to work together to ensure a successful classroom and school experience for the students of our school.

The PTF organizes Room Parents to assist teachers with classroom projects, parties or other areas as needed.

The PTF organizes fund-raising activities as approved by the School Board and Church Council to supplement school funds for needs such as field trip transportation, special on-campus needs, facility/playground improvements and classroom technology and equipment.

ROOM PARENTS Mrs. Naomi Minogue

Room Parents are vital in ensuring parental involvement and support of our school activities. The teachers rely on room parents to help coordinate classroom and school-sponsored events. NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY and our children LOVE having their parents involved in school and classroom activities. Room Parents will be offered guidance and assistance as needed by the PTF Officers.

WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL:

FUNDRAISERS: There are several fundraisers throughout the school year. Profits from these fundraisers fund the budget for the majority of the PTF-sponsored activities and supplement school funds for field trip transportation, facility and playground improvements, technology and other school events.
MONTHLY FAMILY NIGHTS: Each month families and friends of Red Hill students are invited to dine at a specific restaurant which agrees to donate a percentage of the total food bill to our school. PTF also sponsors family-oriented events such as, Mighty Ducks hockey game, Santa Train in Irvine Park, bowling at Tustin Lanes and Barnes and Noble Bookstore. Proceeds from these events benefit a variety of designated school programs.
SCRIP/GROCERY CARDS: Gift cards for participating stores and restaurants are available for purchase in the school office. A percentage of each sale is refunded directly to our school. Order forms are available in the school office. Be sure and register your Albertson’s, Von’s and Ralph’s grocery cards with our SCRIP program. Every purchase you make is refunded back to our school. See the SCRIP order form for more details.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION: Box Tops are accepted on a daily basis and turned in for a refund check bi-annually. Check your specially marked grocery items for the Box Top labels, cut them out and send them to school with your child.

COORDINATING EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES: Room Parents work closely with the classroom teacher and assist with the coordination of classroom needs and activities. Room Parents are responsible for maintaining regular contact with the teacher to determine classroom needs or scheduling other classroom parents to help.
SCHEDULING VOLUNTEERS: Room Parents are responsible for scheduling volunteers for the following school events: Western BBQ, Christmas Shopping Club, Book Fair, Faculty and Staff Appreciation Week Luncheon, Class Parties, Field Trips, Kindergarten and Eighth Promotion and End of the Year Carnival.
AUCTION/RAFFLE BASKET: Room Parents are responsible for selecting a “theme” and collecting donations for their class’s basket for our school auction/raffle. The theme should be selected, approved and announced to parents in September at Back-To-School Night.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT: Room Parents are asked to introduce themselves at both parent sessions. The five to ten minute introduction should include information about school and classroom events that require parental support and involvement. This is a great opportunity to introduce the Room Parent and information about future activities as well as begin scheduling volunteers and creating strong parental involvement.
