💜 Join the PTO Next Year: Creative Arts & Sciences! 💜

Bigelow’s Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS) committee brings several programs to the school each year.  Many of them are teacher favorites that are requested every year, others are new and different.

This is a great opportunity to get involved, stay connected with our Bigelow community, get to know teachers, staff and families from other schools. Parents and guardians from all grades may join! We especially welcome incoming 6th grades to participate and actively learn more about middle school.

8th Grade Transition: Parent Volunteers Needed

Calling all parents for the Class of 2030! 

At Newton North, each class has 3-6 Class Liaisons who serve as parent representatives for the grade.

Class Liaisons communicate with parents/guardians, class advisors, the class dean and class officers about class-specific events and they manage the Facebook page and Instagram for the parents and guardians of the class. Class liaisons work with PTSO Co-President, Class Advisors and the Class Dean to support class-specific events and assist in finding volunteers for class-specific events.

The Class Liaisons‘ first duty is to help plan the 9th Grade Class Welcome event that happens in September. This is generally a 4 year commitment, from September to June, one hour every two weeks.

Please email co-presidents@northptso.org if you are interested or have any questions.

Thank You! Teacher Appreciation Week

In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5th – 9th), the Bigelow PTO hosted three luncheons for our dedicated teachers and staff. Each lunch was catered by families from each grade.

Thank you to all families who donated their time, food and cash to show our teachers how much we appreciate all that they do all year long!

Special thanks to Laura Goldworm for spearheading the Teacher Appreciation efforts all year! And to Jenny Rosenthal & Heather Hanson, Tara Raposa, and Nisa Dailey for leading the coordination of their grades.
