ART APPRECIATION THANK YOU
Thank you to Daniela Denizet and Emily Larsen for their recent art appreciation lesson in Mrs. Tullis’ second grade class. The kids had a great time!
Art Appreciation is a PTC sponsored program that recruits volunteers like you to give a 30-45 minute presentation on an artist, technique, or art movement. This program supplements your child's art education and all materials and instructions are provided for you! You don't need to be an artist or have an artistic background to help out. After some short preparation ahead of time, you will go to your child's classroom to present the artist or topic, show examples of prominent artworks, and then direct a short art project. If you are interested in guiding an art appreciation program in your child's class, please contact Melissa Dillenbeck or Wendy Maggin. You can also sign up HERE.

COSSITT BOOK CLUB
Cossitt Book Club is open to all 2nd, 3rd and 6th graders. We encourage all levels of readers to join their specific grade. We are looking for enthusiastic readers who are excited to discuss characters and plot as we move through the book as a group! The cost is $15/child and this is expected to start the week of January 10th.
Book titles are:
2nd Grade: My Life in Pictures by Deborah Zemke
3rd Grade: Frankie Sparks and the Class Pet by Megan Frazer Blakemore
6th Grade: Free Lunch by Rex Ogle
The program is led by parent volunteers and will meet once a week for 6 weeks during lunch/recess. If your child is interested in participating, please sign-up using the link below, and please note whether or not you are open and available to volunteer (number of volunteers needed may be dependent on number of kids participating in the Book Club). Being a volunteer in your child's group is a fun way to interact with your child and to get to know other children in their grade level.
Please do not sign up your child unless he or she wants to be in this program. This is not a club for children who do not enjoy reading—it takes away from those who really want to be in a reading group and who enjoy talking about books and ideas.
Deadline to submit info and payment is Friday, December 10th. Please note that SignUpGenius will also attach a processing fee. If cost is a barrier for joining, scholarships are available. Please contact social worker Alison Vogt for more information.
