Bigelow Global Diversity Night Meeting: Tuesday November 26th @7pm

Let’s celebrate the many cultures and traditions among the students, faculty, staff, and families at Bigelow! Join the committee to shape the Bigelow Global Diversity Night (winter date: to be determined, possibly February!). Several Bigelow families enjoyed multicultural and international celebrations at elementary schools and high schools previously. We’ll build on that knowledge and experience and make it a Bigelow bash! New ideas welcome, too!

Please join our first Committee meeting next Tuesday, November 26th at 7pm via Zoom: Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://brandeis.zoom.us/j/93941176175?pwd=ySaxjuo2khFwbROgMA1Qg5YB29dsDp.1

Bigelow’s Annual Appeal is Underway!

Each year, the PTO and its many volunteers run 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. 

On Tuesday, November 12th, we launched our annual fundraising drive. The Annual Appeal is our biggest fundraiser and covers the bulk of our programming expenses for the year. For this year’s Annual Appeal, 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!
