Thanks to tremendous participation in Teacher Appreciation Week, the PTO completed our 2023-24 school year appreciation events with a surplus. We were able to put this surplus to good use by replacing the 30+ year old refrigerator in the Bigelow staff room. Thank you to the many parents and caregivers who contributed to Teacher & Staff Appreciation events throughout the year and made this well overdue upgrade possible.
Many thanks to Ron Farrar and Suriya Ziblatt for leading the Teacher & Staff Appreciation committee for the past 2 years!

We’d love to hear from you and include you as part of the team in a capacity that works for all.
To make the PTO a success for all students and families, we would love to involve community members from all of Bigelow’s feeder schools. Rising 6th, 7th, and 8th the grade parents/caregivers from Underwood, Cabot, Lincoln-Elliot, Mason Rice, Ward, and beyond: We want to hear from you! Please let us know if you can join our board or a committee in any capacity ensuring that we have an inclusive board and that our events have a wide reach.
