We need YOU to make Bigelow’s Big Night – the biggest FUNdRaising event of the year – a roaring success!

Please consider joining the planning committee – we will need to pick a theme for the night, generate some ideas for the entertainment, set up a timeline, pick point people for donation collection, etc.

See some of the pictures from last year’s Big Night below – the theme was “Bigelow Speakeasy” and everyone had a fantastic time while raising more than $15,000 for the school!

The PTO members who have been most active with the Big Night planning will be leaving Bigelow this year, so wee need new 6th and 7th grade parents to join the planning committee and become familiar with how the event is run so that it can continue to be a success in the coming years.

We realize that everyone has a multitude of demands on your time – you can make Big Night planning as large or small a time commitment as you would like. There are many tasks – small and large, and any help is appreciated!

A Reminder…

This is a great way to take a moment to thank the amazing teachers at Bigelow for all they do for our children. Bigelow families provide the food, beverages, plastic serving utensils and flowers for this event. Please, consider making a contribution to the luncheon, or help with set up and clean up. We still need some volunteers and donations for this appreciation event.

To donate or volunteer please sign up HERE.

• All items may be dropped off on the morning of the luncheon in the teacher’s lunchroom or put in the refrigerator there. Please drop off all items no later than 10:30 AM.
• Items can also be dropped off at Stacy Schwartz’s home, 15 Park Ave. Newton, until 10 PM on the evening of January 31st.
• It is most helpful if items are brought in recyclable containers. Please send in your favorite lunch food!
• Salads, sandwiches, entrees – whatever you think our wonderful teachers and staff will enjoy.

For more information or if you have any questions, please contact the Teacher Appreciation Chairs, Stacy Schwartz at staschwartz@gmail.com or Magda Duchnowska at froggiemagda@hotmail.com.

Thank you again for helping us show our appreciation for our teachers and staff.
