Congratulations 6th Graders!

The PTC sends our congratulations to all of our 6th graders for navigating this exceptionally strange school year. Good luck next year at Park Junior High. Cossitt will miss you!
 
End of Year T-Shirts and Celebration
 
We hope the kids love their End of Year t-shirts! Thanks to Wendy Maggin for designing and coordinating this for the kids! Typically you have to purchase the shirts, but the PTC paid this year as a treat to end this crazy year! Enjoy!  

Also, a big thank you to Sarah Colomb and Dan Dangler for organizing the End of Year events today. Students enjoyed ice cream while painting rocks and signing each others shirts!

Volunteers to Water Plants

Thanks again to all those who volunteered to Pretty Up Cossitt with Spring plants. Now the pretty plants are thirsty. We are hoping we can get some volunteers throughout the summer to help us water them. It's a great summer activity to bike over and water the plants!  Click below to sign up for a shift!
 
Social Fundraisers

Missing your fellow Cossitt Parents? Social Party Fundraisers are back on and IN PERSON in the 2021-22 school year. 
 
Sign up to host a party or submit a party idea for consideration in the Sign Up Genius included, or email the Social Fundraiser Committee at cossittparties@gmail.com for more information. Our committee will review and get in touch with you to coordinate later this summer/early fall. 
 
More than ever, we are focused on keeping our sense of school and neighborhood community alive.
 
We can’t wait for 2021-22 and good times ahead!
