All Bigelow families are invited to join us on Zoom for Bigelow Virtual Team Trivia Night on Friday, January 29, 2021!

Emceed by trivia host James Marohn (gameswithjames.net), you’ll be challenged with dozens of questions in a variety of general knowledge categories (including The Office, of course). Lots of visual clues and audio clips. You’ll be put on a team with other families, and compete against other teams for the title of “Bigelow Trivia Champs”! Save the date and plan to be part of this night of friendly competition with your classmates and neighbors!

And please get your take out from Blue Ribbon BBQ that night and mention you are a Bigelow family. 20% of all proceeds will be donated to the PTO so it will be a finger licking good night all around!

Stay tuned for more details.

Please consider donating if you haven’t already! And many thanks to those who have. We are able to support so many wonderful programs and services thanks to your generosity!

You can still donate online, or send a check to: Bigelow PTO at 42 Vernon Street, Newton, MA 02458. All donations – large or small – are greatly appreciated and will help us achieve all that we set out to do.

Students and Staff are expected to abide by the MA Travel Advisory.

• If you traveled out of Massachusetts (any states except Hawaii and/or abroad), you need to quarantine for 10 days or produce a negative COVID-19 test result that has been administered up to 72-hours prior to your arrival in Massachusetts.
• If your COVID-19 test result has not been received prior to arrival, visitors, and residents must quarantine until they receive a negative test result.

If you have questions about the quarantine or testing requirements in the Travel Advisory, please contact the City of Newton Health and Human Services Department.

Given the way the holidays have fallen since the hybrid model began and to equalize the in-person days for both cohorts, please note changes for the week before December break.

We braved the cold and distributed lots of yearbooks, hoodies, sweatpants, masks and t-shirts on Saturday. If you missed it, you still can get yours before the Holidays:

Yearbook: Students can get their pre-ordered copies at the school office. If you want to buy a copy, bring $25 in cash or a check made to Bigelow Middle School.

Gear: Please contact Amy McPherson at ablmcpherson0209@gmail.com or 617-834-9205.

We thank all those who purchased Cookies By Elise to benefit the PTO! They were absolutely delicious and money raised went to a great cause – Bigelow kids! Thank you!

We were happy to have our annual Holiday Luncheon on Wednesday, December 16 for the front office staff and custodians: Sue Schy, Heather MacDonald, Linda Anderson, Kersten Raso,  Courtney Rau-Rogers, Lucas Mogensen, Todd Harrison, Tim Curry, Al Zellmann, and Steve Rogers.

We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication to the school and our children!
