VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR 2ND HALF OF SCHOOL YEAR 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. We are now filling volunteer roles for programs taking place in the 2nd half of the school year. Please consider volunteering! Click HERE for more information.

SOCIAL FUNDRAISERS Due to the recent surge in Covid cases, we will be pausing in-person social events for the time being. We hope to resume events in the coming month or two. In the meantime, if anyone has a Zoom party idea and would like to host, we would love to hear about it! Need ideas or to brush up on etiquette? Check out this great article from the LA Times.   We may not be able to gather in-person at this time, but we all still need winter entertainment and to continue raising funds for our amazing school! Please email us at cossittparties@gmail.com.    Carrie Becker, Molly Lane & Mia Schultz

PTC FUNDS AT WORK First grade students in Mrs. McDuff’s art class are enjoying a new colorful rug. This bright addition in the Cossitt Art Room was paid for with funds raised by the Cossitt Parent Teacher Council.

CALLING ALL TRIVIA BUFFS Please save the date for the Sixth Bi-Annual Cossitt Trivia Night on Friday, March 18th! After the past two years, nothing seemed more appropriate than to stick with the theme of Binge-Worthy TV. Start thinking about putting your team of 8 together and what show you’ll base it on. This is an adults-only event, complete with themed outfits, games and prizes! Details about volunteer opportunities and how to sign your team up to participate will follow.

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.”   To learn how to download the Amazon Smiles App for your smartphone, click THIS LINK.   Questions? Contact Megan Davidson.

LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS The LRC is excited to be able to welcome parents that might like to volunteer some time to help us out in the LRC. This is an easy, fun way to be involved with the school. Spots are still available! All volunteers have to follow the building mitigation procedures. Sign up HERE

FAMILY FUN NIGHT This event is being postponed. We plan to hold this event in the Spring.

RESTAURANT FUNDRAISERS   Thank you for Buona Beef for supporting the Cossitt PTC and thank you to all the families who participated in the fundraiser. We hope everyone enjoyed a delicious meal!

INDOOR RECESS WISH LIST We asked, and you answered! Thank you to the many families who have generously donated new toys and activities for our students to use during indoor recess. Many items were delivered over the holiday weekend, and the Henderson family delivered them Tuesday morning to the office. The wish list is still active, so if anyone still wishes to purchase an item just click HERE.   If you have any questions, please email Lisa Henderson.   Thanks in advance for your support!
