Cossitt PTC Friday Folder
August 24, 2018

Cossitt Friday Folder August 24, 2018
Welcome to your emailed Friday Folder. These flyers are also available on the  Cossitt PTC website .
Have you paid your dues?
Our PTC has been busy! We've already distributed school supplies, supported teachers classroom needs, and cheered on our students for their first day. Your dues help support these efforts--and more! 

In order to streamline the process for our hard-working volunteers, we've gone digital! You can pay your dues through the sign-up genius link below. If you must write a check, drop it off in the office in an envelope marked "PTC Dues" with a note indicating your family and children's names and grades. 
NEW!  Back to School Family Picnic!

NEW - Cossitt Back to School Family Picnic
Sunday, August 26, 4-6 pm
Denning Park, 4903 Willow Springs Rd., LaGrange

Help us kick off a "Fun"tastic year at Cossitt.  
Pack a picnic or even just drop on in for a snow cone.  
There'll be bouncy houses, DJ, and more! 
The fields will be open, so feel free to bring sports gear to play.
Children should be accompanied by an adult and event is weather dependent.

Overflow parking available in the LT parking lot across the street.

Help us make the first annual Back to School Picnic a success! We need volunteers to help supervise the bounce houses, hand out Tate's snow cones and keep the park clean during and after the event. Thank you in advance for signing up!

Social Fundraisers
Calling all Cossitt families for social fundraiser hosts for the 2018-19 school year!!! 

Social fundraisers are great events planned by groups of Cossitt parents for men, women, or children to attend throughout the year. They provide an opportunity to meet new people and have fun in a smaller setting. All are welcome to sign up!  Events can take place at the start of the school year and run through mid-Spring. 

Most importantly, ALL proceeds from the social fundraisers go straight to the Cossitt PTC.

**NEW** 2018-19**  There will not be an event at Harry's as in years past.   ALL PARTIES will have registration via online sign up software that will take place at the start of the school year.

If you're interested in hosting or need additional details before you decide, please contact Kathleen Loughney and Anita Kewalramani at  cossittparties@gmail.com

Thank You!
Thank you to  Michelle Dravillas for leading and organizing the School Supply Kits. 

Also, a huge thanks to the large group of parents and students who helped deliver the kits to the classrooms. We most definitely needed each one of them for this workout.
