PTO Meeting Recap

Thank you to all who attended our first PTO meeting of the 2023-24 school year Tuesday evening! It was great to see both new and familiar faces and discuss ideas to support our school and build community.

There are many ways to be involved in the PTO. Keep an eye out for upcoming community events, programs for our students, donations for teacher & staff appreciation, and fundraisers.

We are also actively recruiting additional volunteers to help with our Spring Auction. Please email bigelowbulldog@gmail.com if you are interested in this or any of the other PTO committees.

We hope to see many of you the two community-building events this weekend:

Parent Educator Collective (PEC)

A citywide collaborative group of parents and educators have joined forces over the past three years to advocate for our schools. Currently their focus has been on supporting the Newton Teachers’ Association (NTA) in obtaining a fair contract. If you would like to find ways to support our teachers, please consider signing up for newsletters from the Parent Educator Collaborative (PEC). If you would like to learn more about the PEC, check out this OP-ED from Fig City News.

As you know, the T in PTO stands for teacher. This is a chance to hear more from our educators’ perspective.
