Message from Dr. Breuder:
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Winter Break. I spent some time in Mexico with my partner, Steve, and with my family. It was so nice to get away to the sun and to rest and unplug.
As we go into January, I am looking forward to getting back to our routines of school. This month, we have a number of things happening at Hazel Wolf. Middle Schoolers have the opportunity to participate in a Student Leadership Workshop on January 22nd. Buddy Day is on January 15th. We have Martin Luther King, Jr. Day assemblies planned for elementary and middle school students. Additionally, we are preparing for the budget and staffing process, which will officially start in February. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks!
Enjoy this last bit of Winter Break!

Please encourage your students to do grade checks by Wednesday afternoon each week. Failure to do so will result in no play time in the games.
We are still looking for volunteers to help with both girls’ and boys’ basketball. You must be a cleared volunteer to help.
