Ellen Waldorf has graciously opened her home to host the potluck dinner on Friday, September 30th at 7 PM. This is a fun, relaxed, adults only, BYOB potluck event and a great way to meet other 6th grade parents! We will post/send a reminder with parking details/instructions next week.

Follow this link to RSVP, to forward the invitation to other 6th grade parents who may not be on the mailing list, and to specify what you plan to bring to the potluck (if possible).

Please bring your own beverage(s) and if your child’s last name begins with:

• A – E    Please bring a dessert
• F – L     Please bring a main dish
• M – R   Please bring a side dish or salad
• S – Z    Please bring an appetizer

If you have any questions or concerns please send an email to bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.

Bring your dirty car, your “sweet tooth” and your neighbors to support our 8th graders.

It’s not too late to  sign up to send treats for the bake sale and/or help on Friday.

The potluck has been tentatively scheduled for Friday, September 30th! Please consider opening your home to host fellow 6th grade parents for a relaxed, adults only party. The event is a potluck, so you will not be expected to cook and serve food. The PTO will handle all communications, RSVP, coordination of potluck.

Please email bigelowbulldog@gmail.com if you are interested in hosting.

We still need a few more volunteers!

Please  sign up to send treats for the bake sale and/or supervise the students on Friday 9/23 between 2:30 and 5 PM. Based on prior years’ experience this is a fun event not just for the kids but for the adult volunteers too!

The weather might get a little damp, but that won’t dampen the Bigelow spirit – we will be having fun, rain or shine!

When: Wednesday, September 14th from 5:30 to 7 PM

Where: Burr Park (cafeteria and/or gym in case of rain)

Food: Chik Chak food truck and Zack’s Ice Cream truck

We will have outdoor play equipment as well as board and card games (in case of rain) and a great time will be had by all.

We still need volunteers to bake some treats and/or help at the car wash/sale.

When: Friday, September 23rd from 2:30 to 5 PM (car wash 3-4:30)

Where: Bigelow parking lot

Please follow this link to sign up.

Grab some blankets, your favorite frisbee and ball, and join the fun at Burr Park on Wednesday, September 14th starting at 5:30 PM. There will be old friends to see, new friends to make  and summer stories to swap! And you don’t need to worry about packing a picnic basket – we will have ice cream and food trucks available (food for purchase).

Come join the fun!

The 8th Grade Car Wash and Bake Sale is planned for Friday, September 23rd, to raise funds for 8th grade activities.

Parents/guardians of 8th graders: Please consider volunteering either on the day of the car wash or by sending in baked goods to be sold at the bake sale. Follow this link to sign up.

All Bigelow community members: Please bring your cars and your sweet teeth and encourage your friends and neighbors to stop by to get their cars cleaned and drive away with delicious baked goods!
