HONOR A TEACHER and Support the Library with Buy a Book

If you would like to recognize a staff member at Bigelow this holiday season, please consider donating a book in a staff member’s name to the library. A nameplate honoring the teacher, and recognizing the donor, will be placed inside a new book.   Click Here to Buy a Book.

The Bigelow Library is a vibrant and exciting learning commons. Students visit daily to find a good book to read. Maintaining a library collection of both fiction and nonfiction books to meet the reading interest of our students is always a priority.  The Buy a Book Fund  is a wonderful way to meet this demand so that the library can maintain its vibrancy.

Thank you to all parents and families who have donated to The Buy a Book Fund  in the past.   Your generosity is deeply appreciated.

Magazine Drive – Thank you (and it is not too late to order)

It is not too late to help.  You can still purchase magazines and support the 8th grade by ordering your magazines on line at www.gaschoolstore.com School ID # 2637080.
