On Tuesday evening, the Bigelow PTO held our third PTO meeting of the year via Zoom. We discussed planning for the Bigelow PTO budget and officers, as well as how families can support Newton Public Schools (NPS) by advocating for next year’s NPS budget.

• PTO Planning: We are incredibly grateful for the dozens of Bigelow community members who contributed to PTO events and activities so far this year—and those planning ahead for what’s still to come! Bigelow PTO needs more volunteers for the 2025-26 school year! Please see this form for more information and to express interest in volunteer opportunities. 

• NPS Budget: We encourage all Bigelow families to contact Newton Mayor Fuller (rfuller@newtonma.gov) and their City Councilors to urge them to provide adequate funding for NPS in the upcoming year.

You can view the meeting presentation slides via this link. The presentation includes an overview of PTO events and open PTO volunteer roles, as well as details on easy ways Bigelow families can voice their support for the NPS budget to Newton’s elected officials.

Thank you for being an active part of the Bigelow community!
