To all 8th Grade Parents / Guardians:

From the 8th Grade Car Wash to the NYC / Quebec City Trips to Graduation, it’s going to be a great spring for our 8th graders!

Please join us to learn about 8th grade year end activities and help plan them.  Many hands make for a lighter load. Consider offering your  time and talent- we could really use your help. It’s also great way to get to know more Bigelow parents.  We’ll have refreshments and light snacks.  

When: Tuesday, February 2nd, 7:00-8:30pm

Where: 6 Merton Street

RSVP: to Jennifer hzynjmh@yahoo.com or Debbie at  debbierg@gmail.com

Contact our 8th Grade Activities Co Chairs: Jennifer Hrycysyzyn (hzynjmh@yahoo.com) or Debbie Ruiz (debbierg@gmail.com) with questions or for more information. Hope to see you on Feb 2nd!

Tomorrow is Pizza Day at Bigelow.  All proceeds will support 8th grade cultural trip scholarships and underwrite year end activities.

NEW LOCATION:  Students can come and have a slice or two after school in the Gym Lobby.  $2 per slice.
