All School Announcements

Field Day – Hazel Wolf families! It is forecast to be 74 and sunny on Field Day. Please send your student with a water bottle, appropriate clothing to be outside, and sunscreen. One station is “hair art,” where students can get colored hair spray put in their hair. If you would like to not have your student participate in that one, if for instance you have family pictures or a wedding coming up that you’d rather they not have color possibly left in their hair for a couple days, please discuss that with your child ahead of time. The kids will also be given an Otter Pop brand popsicle at the end of their session. The allergy list didn’t raise any concerns as it is deemed pretty allergy friendly, but if you know your child needs to skip it for health reasons, please let Ms. Sullivan and your child’s classroom teacher know before Wednesday. Ms. Sullivan’s email: sullivan_rachel@yahoo.com

Lost & Found – Last chance to check the Lost & Found!   Items will be out in front of the school on Thursday June 29 from 1-3pm.  Anything left over will be donated to charity on Sunday 7/1/23.  Thank you!

Summer Opportunities and Supports – see the end of the bulletin. 

Last Day Ritual – On the last day staff will be out on Pinehurst to wave good bye to busses for the last time, and cars coming by.  Please come through honking and appreciating your teachers and staff who have taken care of your children all year!!

Volunteer Opportunities

PTSA members can help with end of year fiscal review!  The PTSA needs to participate in an end of year fiscal review, likely in mid-July once we have everything done for June. This should be done by people other than the current check signers (treasurers and PTSA president). If you are a PTSA member and would like to help out, please contact treasurer@hazelwolfk8.org.  Our treasurers will be available to answer questions, find records, etc. You will be contacted with possible dates soon.  Thank you for considering!

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.
