Message from Dr. Breuder:
Thank you PTSA for Staff Appreciation Breakfast! What a wonderful treat to have such yummy food for the staff last week at the staff appreciation breakfast. Thank you to parent organizers, Alice Mason and Aminda Bowen, and all the other families who helped provide food for this breakfast. Thank you.

Events this week at Hazel Wolf!
The Book Fair continues this week through Wednesday! The Book Fair will be open into the evening on Wednesday, as we are also hosting Band and Orchestra concert on Wednesday. The concert is at 7:00pm, so please stop by the Book Fair on the way to the concert! I will be spending time with family and friends, and I am looking forward to getting through some of the books that have been sitting by my bed for a long time.
Tutor position available: We are looking for a tutor to join our early-literacy program at Hazel Wolf. This is a part-time position. This person would be joining an experienced team of tutors that support the early-literacy program at our school. Please contact me if you are interested at mebreuder@seattleschools.org.
I hope you have a wonderful Winter Break. The building will be closed during Winter Break, as the Hazel Wolf staff is all taking a much-needed break. We hope you and your family have a restful break and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
