Message from Dr. Breuder:
It is hard to believe it is already this far into October! I do love this time of year, with the weather changing and fall colors all around us. As someone who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, there are certain times of year that feel calming for me, and fall is one of them. Additionally, this time in schools is a busy time, but there is also a level of consistency and routine in our days that helps allow for more engagement in learning. As I move around the school, I see students learning in all spaces (classrooms, hallways, playground, cafeteria) and absolutely love to see, hear, and feel all of the excitement across Hazel Wolf.
Thank you for all the input and feedback about Curriculum Night. We will take all of this feedback into consideration as we plan for next year’s Curriculum Night! If you haven’t yet provided feedback and want to do so, here is the link to the survey. https://forms.office.com/r/25XKadyTcE
We are excited to see 8th-graders head off to Mt. Rainier Institute (MRI) this week, Monday-Wednesday. This is such a wonderful opportunity for them to participate in this outdoor overnight educational program, where they will engage in scientific investigations, present their findings at a symposium, and spend a day up on Mt. Rainier.

Please, parents, remind students to turn in their grade checks to stay eligible for games.
If you think your student will participate in winter sports (basketball – girls and boys), now is a good time to get their head and physical exams completed.
