Recent News
Thank you Zylberschtein’s for Supporting 1st Grader’s Annual Food Day
Our 1st graders recently had their Annual Food Day Event and would love to thank Zylberschtein’s Deli & Bakery for their support!
First graders wrapped up their Farm to Table E-Stem Unit last week with their Annual Food Day. At this event, first graders make jam and butter to experience food production. This year, first graders were able to experience bagel-making with local support from Zylberschtein’s Deli & Bakery! Owner Josh Grunig came to Hazel Wolf and taught all three first grade classes about bagel-making. Then, students made bagels for our picnic! Students were thrilled to experience this process with Josh and enjoyed eating over 200 mini-bagels, all donated by Zylberschtein’s. What a great community supporter! Thanks Zylberschtein’s!!

Theme Announced for Next Year’s National PTA Reflections Art Contest
Hello Wolf Pack families! The theme for the 2019-2020 National PTA Reflections art contest has been announced! It’s Look Within. We will be collecting submissions for student work to represent our school next fall and will have more information after school starts, including setting up some open studio times for students to work on their artwork. But we thought that there may be students who want to work on submissions over the summer so wanted to share the theme now.
Categories for entries are: dance, film, literature, music, photography, visual arts 2D, and visual arts 3D. This year’s rules haven’t been posted yet, but should be similar to this year’s. The link to find information about the contest and its rules is here.
Our most popular category is visual arts 2D and there are some specific dimensions to keep in mind before creating entries. Entries cannot exceed 24″ x 30″ x 1/2″ (INCLUDING matting). Those entries also must be mounted on a rigid material. Specific rules for the visual arts 2D category can be found here.
If you have any questions or are interested in helping with Reflections in the fall, please contact Reflections chair Tatiana Kaminsky (tatiana.kaminsky at gmail.com). We are looking forward to seeing students’ work in the fall– it’s always very inspiring!
More Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer to support our school and to get more involved in our community. There are many volunteer opportunities available to support next school year’s programs and events!
Check out the volunteer page with the latest volunteer opportunities for next year. A new addition is Small Fundraising Lead– get the Wolf Pack together for a good cause by coordinating community fundraisers (e.g. dine-out nights) throughout the school year.
Also, there are new opportunities to support next year’s auction. The Auction Committee is looking for several people to fill some critical roles by the end of this school year to help make the 2020 auction run smoothly! There are all sorts of opportunities with varying time commitments– there is something for everybody and we all know many hands make light work. There is also a ton of history available for how to do all of these jobs, as well as people around who have done these jobs before.
2020 Open Auction Volunteer Jobs
Contact the Auction Committee at auctioncommittee@hazelwolfk8.org if you are interested or just mention it to Tabitha Burns, Jennifer Colaner, Sabrina Howell, or Kelli Charboneau, if you see us around at school.

Record number of students ride on Bike to School Day
We had a huge turnout at Bike To School Day on May 8th– the count was 99 bikes, so we broke our record and just barely missed our goal of 100 bikers. Let’s hit triple digits next year!
It was a beautiful morning and students enjoyed giveaways such as stickers, bracelets and snack bars. New this year, all kids who rode bikes or non-motorized scooters or boards received a raffle ticket to win a nice BPA-free water bottle or T-Shirt donated by Ride Bicycles (the bike shop located a mile or so down the bike lane on Roosevelt.). Thank you SDOT, Ride Bicycles and parents for the donations that helped make the day fun.
