The Reflections Art Contest is going on now! The theme of this year is ‘I am hopeful because…’ and students will submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories:

We’re hoping to have an in-person exhibition and awards ceremony towards the end of the year. Students will be required to write an artist’s statement describing how their piece of art shows their voice. An entry form and submission guidelines will be available from the art department.

Visit the Reflections virtual art gallery for inspiration and to learn more about prizes and scholarships, or watch this short video about the contest.

This Halloween, enjoy some spooky fun with your Hazel Wolf neighbors!

Do you go all out for Halloween?
Is your home a top trick or treat destination in your neighborhood?
Are you excited to have your school neighbors come trick or treating at your house?

If you answered an enthusiastic “Yes!” to any of the above, we’d LOVE to include you in our first ever Hazel Wolf Trick or Treat Adventure!

Now through Wednesday, October 18th, we’re registering any and all families who are excited to have other Hazel Wolf families visit their home for trick or treating fun.

Once registered, your household will be included in a location guide that we’ll create and share with Hazel Wolf families who are planning to trick or treat on October 31st. A printable sign showing you’re a Hazel Wolf family will be provided to all participating households for window display.

If you’re interested in participating in this new PTSA social adventure, please email us by end-of-day Wednesday, October 18th, and we’ll be in touch with additional information.
