All School Announcements

Message from Dr. Breuder:

It is hard to believe that we have reached the final week of another wonderful school year! As we look back on the months we’ve spent learning and growing together, there is so much to celebrate. (This last week we had graduating seniors (Hazel Wolf alumni) walk our halls.  It was so special to see our current students celebrating former students!)

Our students have worked hard, shown resilience, made new friends, and achieved many successes both in and out of the classroom. From our youngest learners in kindergarten to our eighth-grade students preparing for high school, each student has contributed to following the Wolf Pact and making our school a caring community. 

This week will be filled with special activities, celebrations, and opportunities to reflect on all that we have accomplished. I encourage everyone to enjoy these moments while continuing to be curious, caring, connected, and supported.  We have three promotions this week—Kindergarten, 5^th-grade, and 8^th-grade. 

To our eighth-grade students, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. We are proud of your accomplishments and excited for the opportunities that await you in high school. Remember that you will always be an important part of our school family.

Thank you to our teachers, staff, and families for your unwavering support throughout the year. Your partnership has helped create a positive learning environment where students can thrive.

As summer begins, I hope everyone finds time to relax, explore new interests, spend time with loved ones, and continue learning in fun and meaningful ways.

Thank you for a fantastic school year. Have a safe, happy, and memorable summer!

It was a great year for Hazel Wolf athletics!

A special congratulations to our Boys Soccer Team, who won the championship this season. We are proud of all of our student-athletes for their hard work, sportsmanship, and dedication throughout the year.

As we wrap up the season, please remember to return any school-issued jerseys and uniforms. We will need them for next year’s teams.
