Anyone else sad that the holiday break is over? :( A few quick items:
Put our first meeting on your calendar. Woot woot! January 18 at 6pm. We promise it will be short. Like 30-45 minutes short! Pop inside if you're picking up kids from drama at 6pm, or come early if you're coming to the 7pm concert. Our kids will have a half day on January 11. We know this is short notice (anyone else sidelined by the holidays??), but we'd like to provide a small treat for the teachers & staff who will be staying for a full day. Comment below or message us if you have ideas. :) We'll probably post easy ways to help out in our Facebook group in the next day or two. The next event we're looking at is Teacher Appreciation Week in the spring and we can discuss that more at our meeting on 1/18. And lastly, we have posted draft bylaws on our website. Click the bylaws link in the top right of this page. We need readers and editors! The bylaws are the product of combining sample bylaws from the national PTO's website and the bylaws that Munn Elementary uses. If you've seen things done in a better way elsewhere, let us know ASAP. Either comment below or message us at [email protected]. We'd like to have any final edits completed this week so there is plenty of time for people to review it before our meeting on the 18th. Thank you! HUGE THANKS to all who have reached out offering help! We can’t wait to all get together in one place soon! We’re looking at having our first official meeting after the new year and will publish a date as soon as we have it. This quick update includes info and details on several topics. Let us know if you have any questions!

I wanted to send you the letter below that will be provided to students during their lunches to take home. I have been working with a group of parents that have started to form a group and their effort to support Cosgrove and the staff. I am thankful to work in a community that supports and loves their schools! Enjoy the Thanksgiving break with your family. Sincerely, Mr. Dale Parents/Guardians of Cosgrove Student(s) Dear Cosgrove Family Member, Have you ever thought to yourself … “this Christmas or Easter or Teacher Appreciation week, I’ll be sure to give my child’s teachers a gift of appreciation,” and then oops, you forgot? “Oh well, maybe next time” you tell yourself. Please let us help you with your “next time.” We are a group of parents trying to work together to create a group whose goal is to Love Our Teacher & Staff members (L.O.T.S) Working together with you, we hope to create a fund so we can make some encouraging moments for those adults who teach our kiddos. For example, on curriculum night we could provide a dinner, teacher appreciation gifts, breakfasts, etc. Would you please consider donating to our L.O.T.S fund? We are looking to gather funds to use to create these opportunities. Also, throughout the school year we will be in need of parents, like you, to help us create these events. You are welcome to contact us at: [email protected]. Also, visit us on Facebook: Cosgrove LOTS and Twitter @Cosgrove_LOTS. Please consider donating to this fund! Make checks payable to: Spencerport CSD and write “LOTS” in the memo section. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Sara Snarr, Julie D’ Ovidio and Janelle Young (Cosgrove Parents) L.O.T.S _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ·______ Thanks for thinking of this. I am super busy but would still love to be a part of L.O.T.S. I have enclosed a donation in an envelope labeled L.O.T.S. (and wrote LOTS in the memo section) · ______ I’m also interested in helping. Please keep me plugged into events and I’ll help out when I can. My email is: ______________________________________________________ ** Helping can be planning, serving, bringing in items for events, decorating, etc. |
