The 2024–2025 school year wraps up on June 18 — and what a year it’s been! It was full of events and activities that brought us together.
From the Welcome Picnic and Fall Festival to the “Ready. Set. GLOW” dance, Winter Clothing & Ski Swap, Mariners games, and multiple movie nights, the Hazel Wolf community truly showed up. Sustainability efforts like the Ridwell and TerraCycle drives helped families responsibly recycle hard-to-dispose-of items. We also hosted two impactful talks—one by Amy Lang on online safety and communication, and another focused on ADHD, neurodiversity, autism, and early childhood development. The PTSA raised $53,000 through the annual Blue Envelope Campaign, helping fund field trips, staff grants, and academic resources. And there was so much more!
None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you, parents, for making the 2024–2025 school year such a success!
Congratulations all the Kindergarteners, 5th graders, and 8th graders celebrating their promotions this week!
Have a great summer Wolf Pack!
