The Super Supper Stroll is one of the most enjoyable fundraising events for the Bigelow community. The success of this event depends on your willingness to open your home to a small group of parents/guardians, teachers and staff on Saturday, November 5th and enjoy a lovely meal while supporting all the great programs and activities at Bigelow.
Follow this link to sign up online or email the PTO at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.
If you are new to the Bigelow community, or feel like you don’t know very many people, take a chance – it will be fun! If you have any questions, concerns, misgivings, just feel like you don’t quite understand what this is about and how it will work, please email us at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com.
The Bigelow PTO is thrilled to announce our new fundraising program though partnerships with local restaurants.
Our first partner, New Ginza Restaurant, located at 65 Galen Street in Watertown, just down the street from Bigelow, will donate 10% of their proceeds from your lunch or dinner bill on any day of the week to the Bigelow PTO. All you have to do is enjoy a delicious meal and mention that you would like to sponsor the Bigelow Middle School PTO.
We will send announcements regarding other partnerships within the next couple of weeks.
