Restaurant Fundraiser
Eat Better. Feel Better. Dine-in or pick up tasty, fresh breakfast, lunch, dinner & dessert items from Blackberry Market during the entire week of 10/18-10/24, 8am-3pm daily! This is a great way to support a local business and Cossitt PTC at the same time--10% of proceeds will be donated to Cossitt PTC! Print out the attached flyer, show it on your smartphone, or tell the cashier that you're supporting Cossitt PTC to make sure that 10% of the proceeds will be donated. Orders should be placed either in the store or via phone call so that team members can mark orders as part of the fundraiser. If ordering online, please remember to enter the code PTC10 in the Promo code box so that our school gets credit! Take a break from cooking all week long!

Book Fair
Cossitt's 2020 Virtual Book Fair will be held November 2nd-6th! This year it's easier than ever to support Cossitt through the 2020 Book Fair. During the last several months, books have done what they've always done best: they allowed us to venture beyond the walls we find ourselves behind. Whether you need to freshen your library at home, get a gift or make a purchase for your child's classroom/LRC--the Cossitt Book Fair has got you covered. The PTC receives 20-25% of all sales! More information coming next week…

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.

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.

Box Tops
Even though the Box Tops program has gone digital, there are still some products out there that have unexpired traditional clips. If you see the traditional clip on the box, you can still get credit for those! Please send unexpired clipped 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.
