All School Announcements
Message from Dr. Breuder:
Happy April! As I write this, it is a beautiful sunny day here in the PNW. I am in the midst of spring cleaning my house, so I spent a lot of time organizing and cleaning this weekend. While not my favorite activity, it felt good to get rid of a lot of stuff.
It was so great to be a part of the Kindergarten Family Breakfast last week. Thank you to the Kindergarten teachers and all the parents/guardians for helping make this such a fun event!
Fifth graders went to Nature Bridge for their overnight education experience last week. I saw some really amazing pictures from the teachers and am so excited to hear student stories of their adventures at Nature Bridge!
Drop-off reminder: As you drop off students in the morning, please remember to keep moving in the line. We have had a number of instances where students are dropped off and parents/guardians stay parked in their cars in the drop-off line. If you are going to stay longer than just the time it takes to drop off your student(s), please plan to park in another area away from the school. Thank you for helping keep our lines moving!
Middle School News:
Musical Showcase: Our very own Hazel Wolf MS Band and Orchestra invite you to the Spring Showcase on April 9th! Please attend our night of musical celebration which may include some movie music and a very special (and well-loved) symphonic piece. The performance begins at 7:00pm in the cafeteria; we hope to see you there!
Middle School Family Meetings: There are two meetings scheduled for current and incoming middle school families (5th-grade families) to discuss some of the changes for next year.
