Thanks to help from many bakers, staffers, shoppers, and more, the Election Day bake sale raised close to $1,000. The money will be used to fund vital Bigelow PTO activities, including the Creative Arts and Sciences program for all students.

We greatly appreciate the help of the all of you who baked items for the sale and to those of you who staffed the table during the election.

And a special thanks to the Bigelow custodians for their help before and after this event.

A big thank you also goes to to Sally Brickell and Heather Mehra for organizing and running the bake sale!

Cradles to Crayons has reserved Friday November 14^th from 7 PM to 8:30 PM for a special event at their facility just for middle schoolers (grades 6, 7 and 8).  The facility is conveniently located at 155 Beacon Street in Brighton, next to the New Balance headquarters building.  Parents are welcome to stay, but they can drop off and pick up as well.  There will be many adult chaperones.

During the 1.5 hour event, there will be a volunteer session organized for the kids to sort donated items and pack them for delivery to the children in need.  Desserts, cakes and snacks will be served after the volunteer shift!

Please RSVP to Dave Cotugno at dave@cradlestocrayons.org if your child plans on attending. 

To all Bigelow parents and guardians:

Just a reminder that all PE classes will be going outside until the Thanksgiving break.  Please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for class.  Sweatshirts, sweatpants, running pants, and old sneakers are recommended.  Please help us keep out new floors clean by wearing an old pair of sneakers outside.  This prevents mud from being tracked all over the school.

Thank You,

The Bigelow PE Department,

Bill Prendergast, Danielle Pargoli, and Sean Petrosino
