Restaurant Fundraiser - 9/23
Our first Restaurant Fundraiser will be on Wednesday Sept 23! Let someone else do the cooking and swing by QBBQ & the Hot Dog&Burger Co. on 9/23 from 11am-8pm. Come for lunch & dinner as 20% of proceeds will be donated back to our school. This is a great way to support a local business and Cossitt at the same time! Click below on the following logos to print flyers or pull up on a smartphone to show cashier.
Rebates
You shop. Amazon gives.
Did you know Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Cossitt School? AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know - same products, same prices, same service. To start, go to smile.amazon.com and choose to support the “Cossitt Parent Teacher Council.”

Committee Volunteers Needed
We are still looking for a few more volunteers for:
  • Book Fair
  • Building & Grounds Planning
  • Tiger Fun Run
  • Yearbook

We are a parent community, committed to supporting the school with resources, time and effort. It would not be possible to do all that we do without your support. Please consider signing up to volunteer for one of these programs taking place in the 1st half of the school year. If you have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities, please contact Vanessa Prinz at vanessaprinz@gmail.com.
Clothing Sale
Are you cleaning out your kids' closets and not sure where to bring the gently used clothes they’ve outgrown? Consider donating them to Cossitt!! Even though we’re not having our fall sale this year we are accepting donations and will save them for our next sale. All proceeds will then go straight to Cossitt! Items are being collected at 88 7th Avenue.
Social Fundraisers
We are kicking off the 2020 Cossitt Social Fundraisers this weekend with the SOLD OUT Salsa & Margarita Canning Party which will surely be a hit!  

Next up will be an outdoor, socially distant, Dailey Method class in Elm Park (details coming!). 

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! Interested in hosting a virtual event or have a great idea to share? Email the Social Fundraisers Committee at cossittparties@gmail.com for more information or to get started!

PTC funds raised directly benefit our school and our children. More than ever, we are focused on keeping our sense of school and neighborhood community alive. Let's get creative and inspired, and get involved!

Delegate Assembly

The District 102 Delegate Assembly (DA) is seeking delegates for the upcoming election in April of
2021. The DA is a non-partisan citizens group representing the LaGrange Elementary School
District who seeks out, interviews and endorses candidates for District 102 School Board.

PTC Dues
Thank you to everyone who has already paid their PTC dues for this year. And if you haven't already paid, it's not too late!! PTC dues ($12/family) are an important means to continue to enrich our students' school experience, whether they are hybrid or remote! Click below to pay and learn about what your dues will go toward.
Student Directory

An email was sent earlier this week announcing the 2020-2021 Student Directory. This year we are doing a district-based directory, which includes all the families from all the schools to help keep us better connected. The student directory is now live at www.directoryspot.net or via the DirectorySpot app, which can be downloaded.

If you have never used DirectorySpot, you should have received an email inviting you to sign up. You must sign up with the email address you were invited through.

If you have any questions or problems with your Cossitt student's information, please email Vanessa Prinz.
