Participate in Bigelow Library’s “Honor a Graduate or Staff Member”  End of Year Book Drive. When you buy a book through this website (Bound to Stay Bound Books), your donation pays for a book bound in a way to increase the lifespan of the book, and for a donor name plate placed in the book for the person you are honoring with your purchase. Help keep the Bigelow Library independent reading collection relevant, interesting, educational, and fun for all our students by purchasing a book today! Your continued support is deeply appreciated.

It is hard to believe that soon our 8th graders will be graduating Bigelow!

Over the summer we automatically remove all 8th grade information from both the PTO mailing list and the Bigelow Directory. The information in the directory will be passed along to Newton North High School,.

This is a good time to update your household contact information, so it’s correctly forward to Newton North and ready for next year if you still have children at Bigelow. But please do not change your children’s grade yet nor remove the 8th grader from either list at this point or you may miss important end of the year information.

If you have any questions, please contact us at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com

All members of the Bigelow Middle School community are part of the PTO and are invited to the Spring Annual Meeting.  The 2017/18 budget will be presented and the incoming leadership will be brought forward for a vote of the PTO community.  If you would like to become more involved in the strategic aspect of the Bigelow PTO, helping direct and manage the overall program for 2017/18, you are encourage to join the board in one of the open positions. Hope to see you on the 7th!

We need parent volunteers to help supervise the car wash, to sell baked goods, and to BAKE!
Please sign up here if you can bake some treats or if you are able to volunteer with the car wash or the bake sale.

Thank you!

On April 30th, at NewtonServes Day, dozens of volunteers worked hard at Bigelow, building a fence, spreading tons of mulch, pruning and raking dozens of bags of brush, and in general sprucing up the grounds and entrance to the school.

We just received great pictures of that day. Please take a look here.

This is a good opportunity to thank again all of our Bigelow families and staff who worked for Bigelow during NewtonServes Day.
