Cossitt PTC Friday Folder
Cossitt Friday Folder November 22, 2019
Welcome to your emailed Friday Folder. These flyers are also available on the  Cossitt PTC website .
Yearbooks, take 'em before we toss 'em!
 
The yearbook committee has old yearbooks to get rid of from over the past decade. When you are at Cossitt for Parent Teacher Conferences please take any that you would like. Or grab one for a friend who no longer has kids at Cossitt but might enjoy one from when their child attended.

A table will be set up outside of the office. Please help yourself! Whatever is left over after conferences are over will be shredded.
5th Grade March Madness 
To continue the battle of the books positive energy from 4th grade into 5th, we are now introducing Cossitt 5th grade March Madness reading program!   The program will run from Wednesday January 29- Friday April 3rd, and the big tournament will be the week of April 6th! Students were given a flyer with more details and a book list including the 8 book choices last week.    A little friendly reading competition just like the NCAA basketball tournament, complete with bracket style eliminations! Hope your 5th grader can join us!

Sign up your student here!! 
Vintage Charm Fundraiser
Join us for a fun night of drinks, light appetizers, and shopping at Vintage Charm on Thursday, December 5 from 6:30-8:30. It's a festive night out to knock a couple of gifts off your holiday gift lists. Plus, the more you spend at Vintage Charm the more Cossitt PTC raises for their great programs they offer to the kids at Cossitt. Vintage Charm will donate 10% of the sales that night to Cossitt PTC. 

Sign up here for some holiday cheer and an opportunity to win raffle prizes hand-selected by your co-hostess from Vintage Charm!

Social Fundraisers--Special Thanks!  
Many thanks to the Social Fundraiser Committee for once again knocking it out of the park! 

Yesterday, Cossitt parents gathered together at BLOOM3 to make handmade wreaths! Thanks to hosts, the Lucina, Loughney, Kuhlman, and Moran families for underwriting the costs of this Cossitt fan-favorite social fundraiser event and thanks to all parents who came out to support this event -- over $1,000 raised to support Cossitt teachers and our kids!
