Hazel Wolf ESTEM Quest

Get ready for an adventure! This November, our students are embarking on the Hazel Wolf ESTEM Quest, a 2 week challenge (November 2-13) to complete hands-on sustainability tasks at home while raising funds for our school.

There will be prizes, photo opportunities, games, and more. Students will make an action pledge to tackle 16 assignments across Waste, Energy, Nature, and Upcycling.

Stay tuned for details on how your student can collect sponsorships to support PTSA Teacher Grants!

Ridwell Plastic Film Recycling and Worn-out Shoe Recycling is back!

Lawn sign placed in front of a school reads "Our school is wasting less! Ridwell"
