WE NEED YOUR HELP to start planning the Big Night 2017.

The Big Night is the Bigelow PTO’s biggest social and fundraising event of the year. A night when parents have fun, enjoying music and great food, and help with fundraising for the PTO. Last year’s Big Night was a big success, with great food, music and dancing, a wonderful venue and lots of auction items!!  This year we are planning the event on May 20th at the Commander’s Mansion in Watertown.

BUT IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN WITH THE HELP OF OUR AMAZING COMMUNITY.

Please, consider volunteering. We have big and small tasks available, and it is a great way to meet other Bigelow parents and be part of the this fun event – we need lots of volunteers to help make it a success!. Send us an email to let us know you are interested.

The first planning committee meeting will take place on February 1st.

The PTO Board is very grateful to Beth Panella and Tammy McKenna for co-chairing the event again this year!

Dear Bigelow Community,

Dr. Fleishman will be attending our next PTO meeting at 7 PM this Thursday to meet with Bigelow parents.

Imagine not being able to provide winter clothes for your children. For thousands of families this is a challenging reality. Cradles to Crayons hopes to support the 40,000 children who need help to stay warm this winter.

As part of the teen leadership program, three Bigelow students are organizing a clothing drive at Bigelow to help Cradles to Crayons reach their goal.  Please have your child bring in any winter items in good condition you no longer need.  

When:   From November 28th through December 11th.
Where:  There is a box outside the main office.

Thank you for your support!
