The 8th Grade will be hosting an Election Day Bake Sale next Tuesday, November 6th, from 7:00am-8:00pm. This is generally a great success and we have potential to make a lot of money to help fund all sorts of 8th grade events! However, in order for it to be successful, we NEED YOUR HELP! We need parent volunteers to sell the goodies and we need all families to BAKE, BAKE, BAKE! (All Baked Goods should be Nut-Free and Individually Wrapped for efficient sales!)

Please sign up to volunteer and/or bake!

Your help is very much appreciated by all the 8th Graders!

Laps at Lunch is a Bigelow program to help our students get some fresh air in the middle of the day. At Laps at Lunch students  walk laps around the inside perimeter of Burr Park once they’re done with their lunches in the cafeteria. As a parent, you help them cross the street and monitor their walk. It’s a fun way to be around the kids and see how much they get from this opportunity. If interested please contact Mary Fitzgerald (physical education teacher) at: Mary_Fitzgerald@newton.k12.ma.us. More about the program here.

Alert! Alert! Special Announcement For You!!

The Bigelow PTO has arranged for a Bigelow Celtics Night at TD Garden on January 2nd! Join with your family and friends to cheer on the Celtics as they battle the Minnesota Vikings! 25 Lucky kids going to the game will be picked randomly for an exciting pre-game courtside activity! More information here: Bigelow Celtics Night 2019

On Thursday, November 1, Bigelow students will meet with graduate students from the aerospace/aeronautics and astrophysics departments at MIT, and will watch an act, specifically rewritten from the full play for our program, by the Central Square Theatre Company. Ask your students how they liked it!

The goal of Bigelow’s One School, One Book Program is to create a more inclusive community through participation in a common reading experience as a whole school.  Through discussion and advisory activities, staff and students will share a common experience of reading and learning together. More information here. This program is supported by the Bigelow PTO, thanks to your donations.

A reminder that this Thursday, Nov 1st, is an early release day. All students will be dismissed at 11:30am. There are no late buses, and students should leave promptly at 11:30am. Teachers are continuing their professional development on “courageous conversations about race” during the afternoon.

Mark your calendars for all the early release dates:  12/5, 2/6, 3/21 (5/9 snow day)
