Annual Appeal 2025-2026

November, 2025

Support Bigelow Middle School!

Bigelow Middle School is a small-but-mighty community powered by our students, families, teachers, and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Your support funds the events and experiences that make Bigelow special: our back-to-school bash, field trips, special events, scholarships, and teacher appreciation.

As a Bigelow parent or guardian, you are already part of the PTO! Your support keeps our events low or no-cost for all families. Now we’re asking: Can you make a donation for the 2025–2026 school year?

We’re suggesting a gift of $110, which covers the cost of one student. However, any amount makes a difference. And if you are able to give a little more, any extra supports families who can’t contribute this year.

Why give to the PTO? 

  • We underwrite programs that the Newton Public School’s budget does not cover, such as Creative Arts and Sciences and classroom technology. 
  • We offer field trip scholarships. 
  • We provide assistance to Bigelow families who have experienced unfortunate circumstances. 
  • We help build the community that makes Bigelow a special place for our children. 

How to Give

Venmo (@bigelowtreasurer), online or by check. For more information, click here. 

You may be able to double (or more) your gift through your employer’s matching-gift program. Use this link (and scroll down) to check your company’s matching-gift policy.

Thank you in advance for your mighty assistance serving our Bigelow kids! 

Sincerely, 

The Bigelow PTO Board
