June newsletter- reminders

CAR WASH!  BAKE SALE!  RAFFLE!  Friday, June 5th

Is your car getting a little dirty?  Let the 8th grade Bigelow class get it cleaned up for you before summer vacation!

Friday, June 5, 3 – 5 pm, in the Bigelow Parking Lot.  Cost: $10.   And if you are a little hungry, there will also be a bake sale.  And get some raffle tickets for a chance at lots of great prizes!

All proceeds go towards 8th grade graduation activities and field trip expenses.

If you love fighting long lines shopping for your student’s school supplies and not being able to find that esoteric notebook that is a must-have for science, stop reading now.

If you’re tired of back-to-school supplies shopping, keep reading and let the PTO take over the chore.  SchoolKidz is a one-stop shopping solution to all your school supply woes. Order your supplies here, then wait for the email in late summer to pick up your student’s supplies at school. It’s as easy as that.

New this year:  All binders have been upgraded to heavy duty and will be replaced (1) time per student per binder within the kit if they do not last the school year.

Please note that (2) combination locks and a calculator are included in the 6th grade supply kit.  If your student needs new locks or a calculator in 7th or 8th grade those can be ordered separately.

To order please go to www.shopttkits.com and enter account #32972

Tea for two and two for tea.

Actually, change that to 72.

This year’s annual staff appreciation event— a tea— will take place at Bigelow on Tuesday, June 2 at 2 pm.

We are looking for volunteers to provide finger sandwiches, cakes, pastries, fruit salad and any other delectables that go well with tea.

We also need volunteers to help set up and clean up. Set up is at 12:45 and clean up is at 3:30.

All items may be dropped off the morning of the tea in the teacher’s lunchroom or put in the refrigerator there. Please drop off items no later than 12:30pm. It is most helpful if items are brought in a disposable container.

To donate or volunteer please sign up here.

Please join us for a reception honoring Mrs. Abramovitz, our Social Worker, who is retiring this year.  Family members and students are encouraged to stop by to pass along their well wishes and sign a memory book for her.

Our teachers and other staff members do so much for our kids throughout the year. They teach them invaluable skills, instill them with knowledge and a love of learning, and serve as intellectual role models.

So let’s say a proper thank you with a proper English tea — Bigelow-style. This year’s annual staff appreciation tea takes place on Tuesday, June 2 at 2:00 pm.

We are looking for volunteers to provide finger sandwiches, cakes, pastries, crumpets (whatever they are), fruit salad and any other delectables that go well with tea.

We also need volunteers to help set up and clean up. Set up is at 12:45 and clean up is at 3:30.
