This event is for everyone! Not a skier? No problem! Get the winter layers you need to keep you and your family warm and dry during the cold months ahead. And if you do ski or snowboard – make sure you’re ready to head into the mountains once the snow hits!
The ski swap will feature new and last year’s ski and snowboard gear from a few local ski shops, as well as new and gently used winter apparel. Get outfitted for winter and help raise money for our school! Jackets, skis, gloves, boots, hats, gloves, and more!
This event is open to the public and anyone who wants to stay warm this winter and support a great cause is welcome!
We are looking for gently used winter gear that you would like to consign. Jackets, hats, gloves, ski or snowboard gear, and more. Not sure about an item? Bring it and we’ll let you know.
Consignment drop off is available Thursday 11/3 and Friday 11/4 from 3pm – 6pm outside the main HW entrance. Bring us your gear, tell us what you’d like to sell it for, and we’ll handle the rest. 35% of each item sold will go to benefit the PTSA, the rest is yours!
Ski Swap sale is from 11am – 4pm on Saturday 11/5. Everyone is welcome! The sale will be outside in a covered area, so dress accordingly. We will have a few local ski shops on site selling new and last year’s ski and snowboard gear. As well as gently used winter layers: jackets, gloves, hats, etc.. Everything you need to outfit your family for the winter – whether you plan to head into the mountains or not.
Entrance: drop-off gate on the west side of the field. Exit: east side of the field. Parking available on the north and west side of the school.
Any unsold items will need to be picked up on Saturday (11/5) between 4pm-6pm. If you’re unavailable to pick up unsold items we will make other arrangements. If you do not pickup your items on Saturday and do not arrange for other pickup, we will donate them or save them to sell at next year’s Ski Swap.

Book Fair this week in the Hazel Wolf Library! This year we are partnering with Secret Garden Books in Ballard for our fair. Parents can go to the Secret Garden website at: https://www.secretgardenbooks.com/hazel-wolf-k-8-book-fair?couponHW
You can shop online or just see what will be available at the Library. Instructions are available on the landing page of the website. The virtual Book Fair where families can shop and purchase books through the Secret Garden website runs simultaneously. If families order books through the site, they will be delivered to school for students to bring home and the Hazel Wolf Library still receives a portion of the sales!
Students can shop at the Book Fair before school, during lunch recess and after school. Classes will also be able to browse during their regular library times. Dr. V will provide students with forms so they can create wish lists and families can budget and send appropriate funds with students (or shop together after school every day and until 6pm on Wednesday).
Families can also purchase books from teacher wish lists for their classrooms! Dr. V will be accepting credit cards, checks and cash. A portion of all proceeds will go directly to the Hazel Wolf Library Fund to help build our collection 😊
Our goal for the Hazel Wolf K-8 2023 Direct Appeal campaign is $75,000, which is equivalent to the proceeds of our typical auction. To reach our goal, we are asking each family to donate $125 per student (or just $10.50/month) in honor of Hazel Wolf’s 125th Birthday on March 10th.
We’re sending our staff off to mid-winter break with a special hot breakfast on Friday morning, 2/17.
We will need A LOT of help to make this a success and show our staff how much we appreciate them! Please find specific details, opportunities to bring in warm foods and volunteer on-site HERE.
Thank you for helping make the return of this fun event a success!
Please join us in the Cafetorium (or Via Zoom) from 6:30 – 8:00 pm on January 18th for the PTSA General Session. The agenda for the meeting will include discussion of the process involved in hiring a new principal since Principal Nelsen is retiring. Several members of the board will also present about what they are working on and how members of the community can get involved. We hope to see you there!
