Only two weeks to go until Spring Fling is here, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring back an in-person FUNdraiser for our parents, caregivers and staff. There’s just one thing… we need YOUR help to make it happen!

From venue set up and guest check-in, to bartending and DJ’ing, events like this involve a lot of moving pieces and require many helpers to make them a success. We’re looking for volunteers to join our party planning committee members and help with set-up, the event itself, and (minimal) clean-up at the end of the evening.

Afternoon shifts (great for any high schoolers looking for volunteer hours!) and evening positions are available, and we can promise a super-fun time working alongside other Hazel Wolf K-8 parents and caregivers!

Feel free to sign up for a time slot that matches your availability, and/or a specific position that interests you. If you’d like to volunteer AND participate in the fundraising activities (Dessert Dash/Raise the Paddle) you WILL need to buy a ticket (which includes food). If you’d like to volunteer and NOT participate in the fundraising, you don’t need to buy a ticket, and food will be provided.

Love baking? We’re also looking for Dessert Dash donations! Our party planning committee has been contacting local bakeries and restaurants to ask for donations, but we’re also hoping bakers in our fabulous school community will contribute, too.

Desserts need to feed 8-10 people, and beyond that – the choice is yours! The only thing we ask is that you list any allergens (nuts, dairy, soy, gluten), or let us know if your dessert is gluten-free, vegan, etc., so we can be sure to share this information with guests before they start placing their bids.

It’s true what they say… it takes a village to make events like this happen for our community, and we appreciate your help in any capacity. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Still need tickets? This is proving to be a popular event, and there are fewer than 40 remaining – click here to buy now!

Did you hear the news? Your Hazel Wolf K-8 PTSA is hosting its first IN-PERSON party fundraiser in FIVE YEARS! 

On Saturday, March 2nd (6-9pm), we’re gathering at Lake Forest Park Civic Club to put the FUN in fundraising! Book a sitter, bring your friends, and join us for an evening of dinner, drinks and dancing – with proceeds helping to support all kinds of amazing programs at our school; from field trips to staff grants, outdoor education to tutoring.

The Spring Fling is a chance for you to mingle with friends, meet new families, catch up with staff, and – most importantly – have fun! Once you’ve had a chance to enjoy some tasty appetizers, a delicious Vietnamese bánh mì sandwich, and beverages from the bar, we’ll introduce a little friendly competition with the best kind of auction… a Dessert Dash!

Team up with your table and pool your bids on a selection of delicious, donated desserts. The highest table bid gets to choose their favorite dessert first – and so it goes, until all desserts are spoken for. (If you’re reading this and would like to donate a dessert, please email fundraising@hazelwolfk8.org – we’d love to hear from you!)

We’re also super-thrilled to announce Guitar Gil and Friends – featuring our very own Mr. Stevens – will be performing live during the evening!

All in all, what’s not to love? Tickets are on sale now and space is limited, so don’t delay – buy your tickets today!
