Bigelow Middle School PTO was represented by the Simmons family as they traveled to Barbados over winter break. They packed school supplies in their luggage and dropped them off at their participating hotel. The school supplies will be distributed to support the local community through non-profit group – PACK for a PURPOSE –www.packforapurpose.org.  Bigelow PTO pencils, folders and other paper good were donated. Consider donating something on your next trip.

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Luncheon – Looking for Event Chair

We are looking for thankful caregivers to organize Bigelow’s teachers most appreciated event of the year: the Teacher and Staff Appreciation Luncheon!

This is an annual event organized by the PTO in early February. The PTO also organizes a Tea for teachers and staff in June.

In 2020, the Luncheon is on February 6th and the Tea is June 2nd.  Please contact us if you would like to help organize this celebration of Bigelow’s educators. Email: bigelowbulldog@gmail.com

Those are great ways to take a moment to thank the amazing teachers and staff at Bigelow for all they do for our children. Bigelow families provide the food, beverages, serving utensils and flowers for this event.

The events are held on Early Release Days, and teachers and staff can enjoy a joyful peaceful time. They absolutely love and appreciate every aspect of those days!

Annual Appeal 2019-2020

It’s that time of year and your mailbox is probably filled with worthy organizations asking for donations. The Bigelow Middle School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is one cause that doesn’t get more personal: our kids’ education. As parents and guardians of Bigelow students, we are all members of the PTO, an organization that is well worth supporting.

Why give to the PTO?

  • We underwrite programs that the Newton Public School’s budget does not cover, such as Creative Arts and Sciences and classroom technology.
  • We offer field trip scholarships.
  • We serve as an important communication channel between the school and parents.
  • We help build the community that makes Bigelow a special place for our children.

Please support these important programs with your gift to Bigelow PTO, online or by check – CLICK HERE. Matching gifts are a great way to maximize your donation and some companies double or triple your gift to education.
