  3. E-STEM MS Career Day – Call for presenters: We’ve had to reschedule career day and have room for more presenters. Career day will happen on Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Students will hear from professionals and academics working in STEM fields, many with an Environmental focus. If you work in a STEM field, please consider being a presenter. We need people who work with environmental topics or who engage in environmentally thoughtful practices in your chosen field. But the STEM field is key. Or if you know anyone who might be interested, please have them contact me. Presenters have two 45-minute sessions with about 18 students in each session. The time commitment would be from 8:45AM to about 11:10AM on Tues, June 27. Contact Joe Fogarty at jcbaileyfogart@seattleschools.org.
  4. Book Fair! Book Fair! The annual Hazel Wolf Book Fair starts June 12th and runs through Friday the 16th.  Dr. V and Secret Garden will be partnering to bring in a HUGE selection of books that families are guaranteed to love.  A portion of all book sales will go toward funding the library collection next year😊  Students will be able to shop for books before and after school, during lunch recess, and during their class library times.  We will be accepting cash, credit and checks.  Families are welcome to come after school until 4:15 every day and until 6:00pm on Wednesday.  If you can’t make it into the library, you can still take part virtually! Families will need to set up an account at the Secret Garden website.   (super quick and easy), add a book(s) to their cart and in the “additional comments” section write “Hazelwolf Bookfair” so that it is attributed to your school and you get the commission from it etc. Payment should be online with a credit/debit card. For delivery they should choose “pick up at store” all online orders will be delivered directly to the school.  Sign up to volunteer for the book fair event
  5. Book Bonanza is coming June 21st through June 23rd!!  Dr. V and the Hazel Wolf PTSA will be hosting the return of the annual Book Swap where students can choose two books from an amazing selection of donated books to take home. If you have books you would like to donate, please drop them off in the office.  We will be accepting book donations through June 16th 😊  Thank you to all of the families that have already donated books, this is going to be a wonderful chance to change up your home libraries!  There is also an opportunity to help with the Book Bonanza
  6. Field Day – Hello families! Field Day is coming up on Wednesday, June 28th, and we need volunteers to help run stations and facilitate activities. This year things will be a lot more structured but just as fun! Ms. Sullivan & Ms. Nelsen have planned 11 (Eleven!!!) Stations of awesome for each class to rotate through this year! The K-2 cohort has a lot of volunteers so far, but our 3-5 & Middle School cohorts really need our support, so if you are able, please sign up to help out! Thank you!  Volunteer for Field Day.

    If you want to volunteer, you need to be cleared as a volunteer ahead of time.  Information on how to volunteer, please see the PTSA website link for Field Day. Questions about Field Day? Please reach out to  Ms. Sullivan at rasullivan@seattleschools.org.

Volunteer Opportunities

Join the Racial Equity Committee (REC) —Our goals are focused on helping students and families of color and those who are furthest from educational justice (intersectionality with race, ability, language, gender, socio-economic status, etc). We are open to all families joining and we prioritize Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) for the committee. 

With this help we can continue to support Student Affinity Groups, host listening sessions for BIPOC, work with PTSA and school staff to advocate for racial equity practices in our school, and more! To learn more or join the REC, email ptsa_rec@hazelwolfk8.org. 

Additional volunteer opportunities:  Please see the full list of volunteer opportunities

In most cases, you do not need to have your school volunteer paperwork completed to help out our school!  There are both big and small jobs, the important thing is to just get involved.                                                                          

Questions/ Comments? Please reach out to Christa Kleiner president@hazelwolfk8.org 206-335-2497 if you are interested in becoming involved and/or have any other ideas as to how to make our school and community great.
