Each year, the PTO runs events and programs that support our students, our teachers, and our school community. This collective effort enriches the middle school experience for everyone. To make it happen, the PTO depends on community donations of time, money, and other contributions.
We launched our annual fundraising drive in November. The Annual Appeal is our biggest fundraiser and covers the bulk of our programming expenses for the year. We are suggesting a gift of $110, which amounts to PTO spending for one student, but a donation amount of any size would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you, as always, for your support!

Join us for Bigelow Global Diversity Night on March 3rd at 6:30pm
Mark your calendars for the Bigelow Global Diversity Night to celebrate our school’s diversity through delicious foods and diverse displays. Save the date for Tuesday, March 3rd in the gym from 6:30-8:00pm.
We are recruiting volunteers from all countries to host a table. If your family would like to be part of this year’s celebration – even if you’re not hosting a table – please email Lanni, lanni_harris@yahoo.com, and we will include you as we plan for the event.
Last year was our first Global Diversity Night celebration, and we are looking forward to continuing this new tradition with food, interactive demonstrations, displays of textiles, art, music, musical instruments or whatever makes the night meaningful to you, our community!
Last year’s restart of Bigelow’s traditional Ten Tables progressive dinner was such a success that we’re doing it again!
On Saturday, May 2, we will join together for appetizers at one Bigelow family’s home and then split into smaller groups for dinner at a number of other families’ homes. This event is a wonderful night of community-building, and a great way to raise money and engagement to support our PTO.
If you are interested in hosting either the appetizers gathering, or one of the dinners, please email the PTO at bigelowbulldog@gmail.com, or the event chairs, Kathy Shields at kburdetteshields@yahoo.com or Amy Davis at amygdavis84@gmail.com.
Newton Serves is focused on cleaning and improving our city’s parks, school grounds, open space areas, and conservation lands. If you are interested in bringing this back to Bigelow, we need your help!
Bigelow’s past project leader graduated to NNHS and we need new volunteers to continue to benefit from the program.
Project registration opens February 1st.
Please email bigelowbulldog@gmail.com to express interest and visit the Newton Serves page to learn more.
