A big thank you to all who have donated to the PTO Annual Fundraising Drive so far!
The Annual Appeal is ongoing. A gift of any size will help the Bigelow PTO support many programs and services that benefit our students.
There are many ways to donate:
Matching gifts are a great way to maximize your donation! Please consider adding Bigelow PTO to your company’s annual donation matching program, if applicable. Bigelow Middle School PTO is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Tax ID #20-0348453. All donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law.
Let’s celebrate the many cultures and traditions among the students, faculty, staff, and families at Bigelow! Join the committee to shape the Bigelow Global Diversity Night (winter date: to be determined, possibly February!). Several Bigelow families enjoyed multicultural and international celebrations at elementary schools and high schools previously. We’ll build on that knowledge and experience and make it a Bigelow bash! New ideas welcome, too!

Congratulations to Bigelow Drama for last week’s uplifting production of “Artist Retreat”!

Each year, the PTO and its many volunteers run events and programs that support our students, our teachers, and our school community. This collective effort enriches the middle school experience for everyone. To make it happen, the PTO depends on community donations of time, money, and other contributions.
On Tuesday, November 12th, we launched our annual fundraising drive. The Annual Appeal is our biggest fundraiser and covers the bulk of our programming expenses for the year. For this year’s Annual Appeal, we are suggesting a gift of $110, which amounts to PTO spending for one student, but a donation amount of any size would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you, as always, for your support!

One outcome of the October PTO Action Planning session was the formation of a Bigelow Global Diversity Night Committee. We could use your help to make the event reflect all of Bigelow and beyond! Join us to plan an after-school evening to celebrate the many countries and cultures among us with food and fun. Mark your calendar for our first Committee meeting on Zoom on Tuesday, November 19th at 7pm. Email 7th grade parent Lanni, lanni_harris@yahoo.com, for Zoom info.
And before then, the Committee (who also happen to be parents of high school students) will be working at and observing the upcoming Newton North High School Multicultural event on Tuesday, November 12th from 6:30p-8p. Newton students and families are welcome to attend. Contact Lanni if you’d like to meet us there that evening!
