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.

The FUEL Project is a food assistance program offered at Bigelow for the past 5 years, courtesy of volunteers at the Church of the Redeemer in Chestnut Hill. To help alleviate food insecurity, FUEL provides weekend food for students in need. Non-perishable food is delivered to the school weekly in unidentifiable paper or plastic bags.
Each participating child is called down to the nurse’s office individually to maintain confidentiality. If a child is unable and unwilling to bring the food home, the parent is given the opportunity to arrange for a weekly pick up here at school.
This program is completely voluntary and confidential. The nurse and guidance counselors are the only ones who know who is receiving weekly food bags. Please contact Bigelow’s School Nurse Sue Schy (schys@newton.k12.ma.us), or your child’s school counselor if you are interested.
NEW DATE: Join the Celebration on Sunday, October 8th, Noon- 4 PM
