On Wednesday, Bigelow teachers and staff were treated to a “Winter Warm-Up” lunch of a variety of soups, salads, and breads.

Special thanks to Ron Farrar and Suriya Ziblatt for organizing this special lunch to help show our appreciation for Bigelow’s incredible teachers and staff!

Wednesday’s lunch was made possible with your PTO donations as well as contributions from many parents who brought salad, rolls, and cornbread to complete the meal and lent crockpots to keep the soup warm.

Many thanks to Alexandra Chakalis, Elizabeth Gagnon, David Hurvitz, Lisa Kirby, Kerry Lavin, Sonya Marquez, Sirimon Parker, Heather Pozen, Rebecca Schmidt, Joanne Wang, Ron Farrar, Elizabeth Gagnon, Erika Holmberg, Lisa Kirby, Heather Pozen, Jenny Rosenthal, Suriya Ziblatt, Nora Zizlsperger, Angela Brooks, Anisha Varma-Wilson, Sara Wantman, and Karen Hite. It was a team effort!

Thank you to all who donated and made the Holiday Gift Card Drive a huge success!

With your generous contrbutions we raised $2,565 to help support 11 Bigelow students and their families this holiday season.
