Thank you to all who attended Tuesday’s Meet & Greet with Principal Coston and our first PTO meeting of the 2022-23 school year! It was great to make connections in person, share the PTO’s purpose and activities, and hear Principal Coston’s goals and updates for Bigelow.
For reference, Principal Coston’s slides can be found following this link.
About Ten Tables: Ten Tables is a progressive mystery dinner fundraiser for Adults. Ten Tables is a fun and festive way to support Bigelow Middle School and our PTO while enjoying delicious food and great company.
Here is how it works: On the evening of the event at 6pm, attendees gather at one large appetizers party, where they will receive their dinner destination. At 8pm, everyone will proceed to their dinners hosted by volunteers, where we will all enjoy delicious food and get to know 8-9 other randomly assigned attendees. After dinner around 10pm, everyone reconvenes for dessert and coffee at a new location.
Want to host? We need Appetizer, Dessert and Dinner Hosts! Please contact Shana Smythe, Carolyn Gillespie, or Charlene Gillespie (cargillespie@hotmail.com) if you are willing to host or need more details.
