THE 2021 COSSITT BOOK FAIR Adventure Awaits!  The 2021 Book Fair is taking place in-person NEXT WEEK in the LRC on Wednesday, November 3rd from 2:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. and Thursday, November 4th from 3:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. There will be some really exciting books for sale and the PTC receives 20% of all sales! Please remember that a mask is required for all who attend in-person.  The Book Fair is not possible without your help, and we still need volunteers! Sign up here. (Please note: any volunteers will need to provide Cathy Nothnagel a copy of their COVID vaccination card prior to November 3rd. Any volunteer that has not been vaccinated will need to show a negative test result taken within 48 hours of their volunteer time. The SHIELDS saliva test is done at Cossitt on Tuesday mornings, so anyone working Wednesday evening or Thursday can be tested at school.)  Show appreciation to your child’s teacher by purchasing a book off their Anderson’s WishList. Help your teachers build fantastic classroom libraries! You can also purchase a book chosen by Mrs. Davis to donate to the LRC. Their lists can be found HERE.  And finally, as a reminder, for those who aren't able to attend in-person, there will also be a virtual option through Anderson's.  All additional details can be found HERE here on the PTC website.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER??  Don't worry. We got you. During the Book Fair, on November 3rd, let Chipotle do the cooking and help raise money for Cossitt at the same time! Pick up dinner on 11/3/21 at Chipotle between 4pm & 8pm, and Chipotle will donate 33% of the proceeds to Cossitt PTC!    Click here to print the flyer, show the flyer on your smartphone, or tell the cashier you're supporting Cossitt PTC.

PSCC Thank you to everyone who participated in the Positive School Climate Committee D102 Connect & Create Event on October 11th! More than 175 D102 students and family members created 313 cheerful care projects to be distributed to homebound senior citizens in our community! Projects included decorated pumpkins, fall bookmarks, fall suncatchers, and winter comfort goody bags with handmade ornaments.    The event was in partnership with Interfaith Community Partners, a local nonprofit that provides transportation and outreach services to older adults in the D102 community and nearby. ICP Executive Director Janet Garreau wanted to share this with our students and families: "ICP is thankful for the work of students and parents at the D102 service event! Our older adult clients will receive these crafts now through winter, knowing that children in our community are thinking of them. Many ICP clients live alone in their own homes and winter can be isolating due to weather. We know the smiles that these thoughtful gifts will bring to them!"   Way to go, D102! Thank you to Rene' Collins-Maragh and Lisa Bucaro for helping coordinate this event!

HALLOWEEN Halloween is upon us and the excitement is palpable. Do you ever wake up on November 1st and think that you have way too much candy in your house? If this is the case, please consider donating your unwanted candy for Family Fun Night. Details about Family Fun Night will be coming your way in the future. For now, if you have any nut free Halloween candy that you would like to unload please put it in the bin on the front porch of 300 S. Spring Ave. Your donated candy will serve as prizes at Family Fun Night.

THANK YOU!  Thank you to all of the Room Parents who planned and volunteered for the Halloween celebrations. They were spooktacular!

THANK YOU! Thank you to Erin Helander and Patrick Lach for leading the Fall Garden Club, and for beautifying Cossitt! They wrapped up last week with some pumpkin decorating and fall leaf window art. The kids had a great time making floral arrangements with Zinnias, making bird feeders, planting tulips and weeding. They look forward to more fun in the Spring. Be on the lookout for the signup come Spring!
