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.
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.
Six Committee Chairs / Co-Chairs Still Needed
The following committees are still in need of chair/co-chairs:
  • Education Garden Paver Chair & Co-Chair (time commitment - low)
  • Girls Running Club Chair & Co-Chair (time commitment - moderate)
  • Talent Show Co-Chair (time commitment - high unless show becomes virtual)
  • Website Refresh Chair (time commitment - moderate)
For any questions about any of the roles, please contact Vanessa Prinz at vanessaprinz@gmail.com. PTC activities can only happen with parent volunteers!
Committee Volunteers Needed
We are still looking for a few more volunteers for:
  • Book Fair
  • Building & Grounds Planning
  • LRC Assistance
  • 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.
Cossitt Spirit Days
We’ve got spirit, yes we do! We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?

Great news! Fridays are now designated as official COSSITT SPIRIT DAYS … starting this Friday, September 11, and all the following Fridays be sure to wear your Cossitt spirit wear (examples: end of year event t-shirt, sweatshirt, etc). Whether you are hybrid or full remote, we can’t think of a better way to come together as a Cossitt community by showing our COSSITT TIGER pride!

Outgrown your Tiger shirt? Or maybe your student would like some comfy Tiger flannel pants for at home learning? Click the link below to start your design. Hurry - free shipping ends on 9/21!

Social Fundraisers
Despite the pandemic that is upon us, there are still creative ways to STAY CONNECTED AND SOCIAL! We have always enjoyed our social fundraisers in the past, and we hope that this year is no different. While we are not holding in-person events at this time, we are planning virtual gatherings throughout this year. We already have some fabulous ideas in the works, but if you have an idea of an event to host, please email our team at cossittparties@gmail.com. Proceeds benefit the school and our kids! We hope to get back to in-person events next year.
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 will be collected starting today at 88 7th Avenue.
Room Parent Sign Up
This year, we are making some changes to our Room Parent Program. Some details include:
 
  • Classes will have one Room Parent Coordinator (RPC) with additional Room Parents 
  • RPC will be key teacher contact and check it to see how parents can help
  • Organize teacher gifts (optional class participation)
  • Find creative ways to celebrate holidays, milestones and organize other fun class activities
  • Additional responsibilities as the program evolves
 
Watch your email for a Sign Up Genius link coming Friday, September 18!
Rebates
