WELCOME BACK COSSITT TIGERS!
On behalf of the Cossitt Parent Teacher Council (PTC), we welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year. Earlier this month, the Board held our Executive Meeting where we got the green light to proceed with most of our programs and events to have as close to a “normal” school year as possible!
What is the PTC?
The Cossitt PTC is a non-profit parent organization that works with teachers and staff to enrich the Cossitt experience for all of our students. The PTC supports a wide variety of programs including school assemblies, Celebrating Cossitt Curriculum (CCC) festivals, author visits, Halloween and Holiday parties, birthday books and more. We supplement teacher wish lists, complete special building projects, and add to the beautification of the school grounds. With the goal of building community and belonging, the PTC sponsors numerous social activities for both students and parents, such as after school clubs, class parties, Family Fun Night, and the upcoming Back to School Party. This past year, despite the pandemic, the PTC raised enough money through the Tiger Dance Fit to install large flat screen monitors in every classroom! All of these great things we do could not be accomplished without the generous volunteer time and financial contributions of our Cossitt families!
Join Us

Tiger Times
To keep you informed of PTC events and activities, each Friday at 2:30pm you will be emailed the Tiger Times, the PTC’s weekly newsletter. Please read it each week to keep up-to-date with events, enrichment programs, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities. Also, please make sure to “like” us on Facebook! Separate from the Tiger Times, Mr. Michowski emails a bulletin detailing Cossitt and D102 activities. Make sure to read both newsletters as they may contain different information and events.
Corporate Gifts
Does your employer match your gift? Many employers will match a gift to a nonprofit like the PTC. Please contact Debra Reid at cossittptcfundraising@gmail.com if you’d like to make a contribution!
