We can’t wait to see folks in the gym for Bigelow Global Diversity Night on Tuesday, March 31st!
So far, our students, families and teachers are representing 16 countries/cultures: Armenia, Italy, Uruguay, China, Germany, Philippines, Vietnam, Argentina, Lebanon, India, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Ireland and Peru. PLUS, we’ll have teas from around the world (back by popular demand)! Is there another country you’d like to see? It’s not too late to sign up to host a table/join a table and/or volunteer.
Feel free to contact 8th grade Mom Lanni Isenberg with any questions or suggestions: lanni_harris@yahoo.com (she will grant permission to access the sign up sheet). Thanks so much to everybody who has signed up so far!
Newton Serves is focused on cleaning and improving our city’s parks, school grounds, open space areas, and conservation lands. If you are interested in bringing this back to Bigelow, we need your help!
Bigelow NEEDS NEW VOLUNTEERS to continue to benefit from the program.
Does your child like Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS) Programming? Do they enjoy School Dances and Field Trips?
These are examples of events funded by our PTO.
Our goal is to raise $12,000 to support Bigelow events throughout the year. We’ve made most of our goal in the last few weeks! Your generosity allows us to support students, teachers, and the programs that make Bigelow Middle School so special.
If you’ve been thinking about donating, now’s the time — let’s finish strong, Bigelow!
Every donation counts.
Please consider donating $10, $20, $45, $75, $110, or more!
Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS)programs are 100% funded by PTO dollars. Each school funds their own programs. Bigelow tries to fund at least one CAS program per grade. March will be a big month for CAS at Bigelow! A theater group that encourages critical thinking and student civic engagement performed for our 8th graders this week and coming up, there’s also a local author, Greek mythology, and a visit from Holocaust survivor Elly Gotz.
Field Trips: Busses are expensive!
School Dances: Our PTO sponsors upfront costs of all Bigelow school dances, which are only partly offset by ticket sales.
Teacher Appreciation & Classroom Support: When teachers feel appreciated, our children benefit the most!

Bigelow PTO Family Directory, and More!
With your support, our PTO will continue to be able to fund enriching content for our community.
The success of the system is dependent on every family logging in and updating their information. Throughout the school year, families can edit their name, address, and phone numbers, and each family can decide which pieces of information will be available for others to view through the privacy settings.
Our secure and easy-to-use directory is free for all Bigelow families and is hosted online at Membership Toolkit. The directory is maintained by PTO volunteers and funded by the PTO thanks to your support!
If you are unfamiliar with the platform, if you have forgotten your directory access login, or if you are unsure about whether or not you are in it, please email us with your name and your child’s name(s) at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.
