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.

Gift Card Drive


The PTC is sponsoring a Grocery Gift Card Collection drive in the month of October. All donations will go to the Secret Santa program sponsored by the Rotary Club, Pillars Community Health and the Park District of LaGrange. See Flier below for more details and drop off information. This is a great way to give back to our community members who need a little extra help during the holiday season.
Box Tops

Please send your unexpired Box Tops with your student to school by Monday, October 26th. There will be a marked box in the entryway of the Cossitt office designated for Box Tops.
Original Works : K and 1st Grade
1st Grade & Kindergarten Parents - if your child attended Barnsdale last school year this is for you. Barnsdale is running a fundraiser for Original Works. Due to Covid the fundraiser last spring was brought to a halt. Your student completed an artwork last year, but you were not given the option to purchase.

NOW YOU CAN!!!

Please visit this website: store.originalworks.com/gallerylogin Enter school code BARDL (for current 1st graders) or BARDLPK (for preschoolers last year). Find your teacher's name in the drop down. Then find your child's artwork. It's that simple. Fundraiser ends October 28. 

Please help make this fundraiser a huge success. 

Any questions, please email Natalie at nataliecampos1912@gmail.com
