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.
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.

Break out your Bigelow colors and walking shoes––it’s parade time!
Students and families are invited to join all the Newton Public Schools in marching in Newton’s Salute to Service Parade on May 17th from 3-5pm. We are excited to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and include additional features, floats, and new traditions. This year, the parade date was moved a week ahead of Memorial Day to Armed Services Weekend.
Show your school spirit by walking together as a community, then celebrate at the finish with a well-earned ice cream treat from Cabot’s.Please RSVP here, so there is enough ice cream for everyone. Our very own Bigelow Bulldog mascot will ride along the route!
Parents/caregivers, please sign up to walk alongside our students. There is a lot more than just a parade happening. See all the events planned here. We hope to see you on May 17th!
Unfortunately, not enough people signed up to attend the Ten Tables fundraiser scheduled for May 16th, so the event is cancelled. Thank you to the families who signed up to host the appetizers and mystery dinner. We hope to find more optimal timing for families to attend in the future!
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.
