PTSA Volunteer Opportunities

PTSA Financial Review Volunteers (2)

We need two more volunteers for our annual financial review to help ensure the PTSA’s fiscal health. You’ll simply help review our transactions and procedures to ensure everything is being handled responsibly. No formal accounting background is required, and the total time commitment is only two 2-hour sessions. Please reach out to treasurer@hazelwolf.org if interested!

Join Our Green Team

Let’s help our students understand the impact of their choices through hands-on recycling and composting. We’re looking for volunteers to assist in the lunchroom, helping children learn the simple “system” of sorting waste. Help us teach our kids the practical science of taking care of our planet! Sign up today!
