Each year, the PTO runs 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.
We launched our annual fundraising drive in November. The Annual Appeal is our biggest fundraiser and covers the bulk of our programming expenses for the year. 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!

Last year’s restart of Bigelow’s traditional Ten Tables progressive dinner was such a success that we’re doing it again!
On Saturday, May 2, we will join together for appetizers at one Bigelow family’s home and then split into smaller groups for dinner at a number of other families’ homes. This event is a wonderful night of community-building, and a great way to raise money and engagement to support our PTO.
If you are interested in hosting either the appetizers gathering, or one of the dinners, please email the PTO at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com, or the event chairs, Kathy Shields at kburdetteshields@yahoo.com or Amy Davis at amygdavis84@gmail.com.
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’s past project leader graduated to NNHS and we need new volunteers to continue to benefit from the program.
Project registration opens February 1st.
