Book Fair

Cossitt 2020 Virtual Book Fair is November 2nd-6th  

"Reading gives us somewhere to go when we have to stay where we are."--Mason Cooley.  

The 2020 Book Fair is almost here! Our PTC receives 20-25% of all sales from the fair. Now, with online shopping, it is easier than ever to make a purchase for your family library and a book for your child's classroom or the LRC. Books purchased from teacher/LRC wishlists will be sent directly to the school with a donation sticker noting your purchase already attached! While we are sad our students will not be able to shop the books in person this year, they can still find their favorite books online--so have them begin browsing now at www.abcfairs.com.

Questions-Contact Kim Hare at harekimberly@gmail.com

*Books delivered to school may be distributed to hybrid students' classrooms so please have any books purchased as gifts shipped to your home.
Restaurant Fundraiser

Enzo's Restaurant Fundraiser is Wednesday 11/4/20, 11am-8pm!

Virtual Flower Arranging

Join us on Thursday, November 19 from 7:30-8:30 for virtual flower arranging with Kim from Bloom3 and create your very own arrangement for the Thanksgiving table. We will deliver the floral goods to your home the day of the event and you will take it from there. Kim will guide you through the process via Zoom and offer tips and pointers to help you create your own festive centerpiece. Have your favorite cocktail ready to sip while you enjoy friends and flowers virtually!

As always, the poinsettias come from Philip's Flowers in La Grange Park. This is a great way to support PIMA and a local business! 

The sales are ongoing through November 13th. We've made this as contactless as possible, so all sales will be online only. NO CHECKS.

Credit cards will be accepted through our PayPal account. You do not need a PayPal account to order. Please feel welcome to send the link to anyone in the area.
