Due to unforeseen circumstances, our Bigelow PTO needs a volunteer Treasurer as soon as possible. INTERESTED? Email bigelowpto@gmail.com today!

Does your child like Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS) Programming? Do they enjoy School Dances and Field Trips?

These are examples of events funded by our PTO.

Our goal is to raise $12,000 to support Bigelow events throughout the year. We’ve made most of our goal in the last few weeks! Your generosity allows us to support students, teachers, and the programs that make Bigelow Middle School so special.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now’s the time — let’s finish strong, Bigelow!

Every donation counts.

Please consider donating $10, $20, $45, $75, $110, or more! 

How does our PTO spend your donations?

Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS) programs are 100% funded by PTO dollars. Each school funds their own programs. Bigelow tries to fund at least one CAS program per grade. March will be a big month for CAS at Bigelow! A theater group that encourages critical thinking and student civic engagement performed for our 8th graders this week and coming up, there’s also a local author, Greek mythology, and a visit from Holocaust survivor Elly Gotz.

Field Trips: Busses are expensive!

School Dances: Our PTO sponsors upfront costs of all Bigelow school dances, which are only partly offset by ticket sales.

Teacher Appreciation & Classroom Support: When teachers feel appreciated, our children benefit the most!

Tickets are on sale for Bigelow Drama’s spring musical, Newsies. Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!

Performances are next week:

Thursday, March 19 @7 pm

Friday, March 20 @7 pm

Saturday, March 21 @ 2 pm and 7 pm

Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students. Need discounted tickets? Use code ‘bulldog’ for $1 tickets. Tickets will be on sale at lunch for students and available at the door (pending availability).

Please join our Bigelow PTO Board on Tuesday, March 24 at 7pm for a Community Meeting in the Bigelow Library.

We will see you in the gym on the new date for Bigelow Global Diversity Night, Tuesday, March 31st! 

We have heard from many families and teachers who will host a country/culture table – it’s sure to be a great night for our community!  So far, we have representation from Armenia, Italy, Uruguay, China, Germany, Philippines, Vietnam, Argentina, Lebanon, India, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Ireland and Peru. PLUS, we’ll have teas from around the world (back by popular demand)! 

You can still sign up to host a table/join a table and/or volunteer. 

Feel free to contact 8th grade Mom Lanni Isenberg with any questions or suggestions: lanni_harris@yahoo.com (she will grant permission to access the sign up sheet). Thanks so much to everybody who has signed up so far!

Volunteers make these events so much fun for our students!

Sign up HERE today.

Last year’s restart of Bigelow’s traditional Ten Tables progressive dinner was such a success that we’re doing it again!

On Saturday, May 2, we will join together for appetizers at one Bigelow family’s home and then split into smaller groups for dinner at a number of other families’ homes. This event is a wonderful night of community-building, and a great way to raise money and engagement to support our PTO.

If you are interested in hosting either the appetizers gathering, or one of the dinners, please email the PTO at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com, or the event chairs, Kathy Shields at kburdetteshields@yahoo.com or Amy Davis at amygdavis84@gmail.com.

Newton Serves is focused on cleaning and improving our city’s parks, school grounds, open space areas, and conservation lands. If you are interested in bringing this back to Bigelow, we need your help!

Bigelow NEEDS NEW VOLUNTEERS to continue to benefit from the program.

Project registration is NOW OPEN.

Please email bigelowbulldog@gmail.com to express interest and visit the Newton Serves page to learn more.

Are you looking for the Bigelow PTO Family Directory?

The success of the system is dependent on every family logging in and updating their information. Throughout the school year, families can edit their name, address, and phone numbers, and each family can decide which pieces of information will be available for others to view through the privacy settings.

Our secure and easy-to-use directory is free for all Bigelow families and is hosted online at Membership Toolkit. The directory is maintained by PTO volunteers and funded by the PTO thanks to your support!

If you are unfamiliar with the platform, if you have forgotten your directory access login, or if you are unsure about whether or not you are in it, please email us with your name and your child’s name(s) at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.
