The Bigelow student council is running its annual food drive to benefit local food pantries. They would like to challenge the Bigelow community to collect 500 boxes of pasta before Thanksgiving Break! Collection boxes will be available in homebases. Please help Bigelow make this holiday season wonderful for everybody!

If you have not had a chance to return the coupon book or payment, please do so this week. Coupon books are $25 and Bigelow earns 50% profit on each book sold.

This program is purely optional ~ If you don’t want to purchase the coupon book, no problem, send the Coupon Book back to school with your student.  And we understand that some coupon books may have been misplaced or never made it home.  No worries, we know these things happen.  You are not on the hook for the book.

Thank you to all the participated in last week’s Super Supper Stroll.  If you indicated you were going to pay by cash or check and have not had a chance to turn in your payment, please do so at your earliest convenience.  You can also pay on line by going to the following page:  http://bigelowpto.org/supersupperstroll/   If you have any questions, please contact us at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.  Thank you again for your support and have a wonderful Thanksgiving break.
