SOCIAL FUNDRAISERS
For those of you who are new to Cossitt, we’d like to introduce you to the Social Fundraising Committee! We host and help facilitate fun events planned by groups of Cossitt parents for adults and kids. These events provide an opportunity to meet new people and more than ever, are focused on keeping our sense of school and neighborhood community alive. PTC funds raised with social events directly benefit our school and our children.
As we plan for the 2021-2022 school year, we are looking for veteran and new families TO GET INVOLVED. Sign up to host or co-host an event and share your event ideas in the attached Sign Up Genius (SUG) by Friday, September 3rd. Our committee will review and get in touch with you to lock in a date and location. We welcome more creative ideas to refresh our events this year and are excited to bring back some fan favorites as well!
For most social fundraising events, the hosts pay for the cost of the event so all the proceeds from the registration fees go straight to the Cossitt PTC. Last year, our fundraising contributed to the amazing new TVs in all of the classrooms.
See more info in the attached Sign Up Genius or email the Social Fundraising Committee at cossittparties@gmail.com for more information.
We are looking forward to the year ahead!
Carrie Becker, Molly Lane & Mia Rao Schultz

COSSITT BIKE RODEO
The Cossitt Bike Rodeo will be held on Friday, September 10 at 3:15 pm. Volunteers are needed for this event.
The Bike Safety Rodeo is for all 3rd graders who are interested in riding their bikes to school. We welcome all 4th graders to participate as well as our event was virtual last year and many may still need to register their bikes. Any 5th and 6th-grade students who have not participated in the Bike Rodeo are also invited. At the Bike Rodeo, each child will register their bike with the La Grange Police Department and perform a series of bicycle safety tests. Children wishing to ride their bikes to school need to participate in the Bike Rodeo only once at Cossitt.
Additional information and the permission slip will be sent home in the Tiger Times next week.

Thanks to Erin Helander, Garden Club Chair, for her thoughtful and creative “happy rocks” idea to spread cheer after a rough year to the Cossitt community. Thank you for executing the project at the end-of-year event, personally finishing the art, and then beautifully displaying them in the Cossitt gardens and yard. Happy rocks sure made a lot of Cossitt Tigers happy!

Much appreciation to Peggy Katz and Meaghan Panfil for organizing the School Supply Kits and getting them delivered to all the classrooms. Word on the street is that the upperclassmen helpers had some healthy competition going on. We like it! And thanks for getting the job done!

STUDENT DIRECTORY
It's time to submit your info for the student directory! Form must be completed by September 3rd.
Since we have transitioned to an online directory, information needs to be entered via this Google form or the QR code. Please complete the form with as much or as little of the information as you wish.
This is a great way to connect with other families to set up play dates and birthday parties! That being said, misuse of the information is prohibited and anyone who does so will be promptly removed from the system.
