❄️December PTSA Updates and Events

December starts tomorrow, and we have another full month of opportunities to support the school and build community!

Your Donations in Action

Did you know the 2024-2025 Resource Survey showed how much our community values outdoor education? When Washington State couldn’t fund the Outdoor Learning Grant due to budget challenges, affecting many schools, the Hazel Wolf PTSA Board voted to fill the gap so our 5th and 8th graders can go on the much-loved overnight trips.
