Thursday, our children spent the morning exploring and learning about the themes of this year’s One School, One Book book “Losing It” by Erin Fry.  The students heard a wonderful presentation by Erin Fry about the book, talked about promoting positive body image with Rachel Benson of MEDA and learned a little line dancing with Mr. P and Mary Fitzgerald.  Later in the evening, Erin Fry came back to Bigelow and spoke to parents about her book and her inspiration.

We would like to thank everyone involved in organizing and planning this special day for our children, especially Patty Summa,  for so thoughtfully putting together this event.  And thank you to all the parents for your support of the PTO.  It is through your support we are able to underwrite special programs like this for our children.
