As we head into the long holiday weekend, we feel gratitude for our great Bigelow community! We cannot wait for our kids to enjoy more terrific grade-level events and activities, and to see caregivers, family, and friends at our upcoming dance and PTO events in the new year. Whether you’re giving time or donations or both, the Bigelow Middle School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is made up of all of us. And, ultimately, it’s about our kids and their education. As parents and guardians of Bigelow students, we are all members of the PTO, an organization that is well worth supporting.
On Monday, Bigelow teachers and staff were treated to a Giving Thanks Snack Bar. Many thanks to Laura Goldworm and Hai Ly for putting together this beautiful spread to help show our appreciation for Bigelow’s amazing teachers and staff!
Parents and Caregivers: We need you! Please sign up HERE to volunteer for the Fall Dance + Social.
Bigelow’s “Hot to Glow” Fall Dance + Social is fast approaching and we need volunteers! Parents & Caregivers, please sign up HERE and help make this popular event a success. This not-to-be missed event will be held on Saturday, December 7th and will include games, pizza, and dancing!
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”!
Interested in Bigelow Drama? Bigelow students can learn more at the Spring Musical Announcement & Informational Meeting after school on Monday, November 25th.
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! 2024-2025 Bigelow PTO Board
