A big thank you from the PTO!
The 2019/2020 school year will be long remembered as a year that brought huge changes and challenges for all of us. We are so thankful to our wonderful Bigelow community for rallying behind the school, staff, students and the PTO these past many weeks. You have supported us and confirmed how much we all believe in our love of learning, our respect for oneself and one another and our commitment to making the world a better place.
We hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you in the fall!
A special thank you to our Co-President Una Simmons!
We wish to send our heartfelt gratitude to Una, who has worked tirelessly for the Bigelow PTO for the past nine years, as her three daughters, Chelsea, Tess and Katelin have all attended Bigelow.
She has served in a number of roles including Vice President of Fundraising, Co-President and Chairperson of Ten Tables/Supper Stroll, and Big Night. She has organized countless events such as Celtics Night, Skate Night, Back to School picnics, car washes, and bake sales. She took the lead a few weeks ago to organize the eighth grade gift to the school and the goody bags for the eighth grade students to make sure they would have a memorable gift at the end of their time at Bigelow. And it was Una who conceived the wonderful plan to have a reunion party in 2024 for our 2020 graduating class.
During her tenure, she has overseen raising over $200,000 for the PTO. Her enthusiasm for the Bigelow community is unrivaled, and her hard work and devotion to the PTO is unmatched.
Thank you again, Una, for all you have done.
Congratulations to the 8th grade class!
Congratulations to the 8th grade class! A job well done!
