Cossitt Community Book Club
Join the Waitlist!
The Cossitt Community Book Club sent out via email on Wednesday filled by the next day! Due to the popularity, Mr. Parker has added a waitlist to gage interest and possibly find a way to include more parents. Please join the waitlist if you were hoping to get a spot but missed out!
Cossitt 4th Grade Teacher, Alex Parker, would like to continue to grow our awareness of our increasingly diverse country, and district population, by hosting a book study for parents in our Cossitt Community. He led a similar type book group this summer for Cossitt Staff and believes it would be great to invite parents into the conversation that has been happening for the staff. His hope is to foster a space where open, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations can be had about race, in a space that is safe, welcoming, and enjoyable! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Parker at parkeral@dist102.k12.il.us.

Trivia Night
The sign up genius for Trivia Night will be in next Friday's Tiger Times. Trivia will be in a virtual format this year hosted by a professional company that has been given rave reviews by Ogden School. We strongly encourage safe COVID practices and ask that teammates who do not live together participate from the comforts of their own homes. Ten brains per team, and all teammates will be able to discuss answers in private breakout rooms.

Sixth Grade Parent Volunteers Needed
6th Grade Parent Volunteers Needed!
Given the pandemic, our outgoing 6th graders are going to miss out on some great Cossitt traditions. Let's get together on a Zoom and brainstorm ways we can still make it special. Once we have a plan for one activity per month February through June, we will break into groups of 2-3 volunteers to execute monthly activities. Please join the committee if you can!

Cossitt's Got Talent
Cossitt's Got Talent has been postponed until next school year. This was not an easy decision to make, and we understand there will be disappointed students and parents. Keep an eye on Tiger Times for other opportunities to students to express their talents!
