Come join your fellow members of the Hazel Wolf school community for our last General Session Meeting of the year – from 6:30-8pm in the Cafetorium! Principal Breuder will be there to talk about the building budget, key dates for next year, and plans for E-STEM programming (including overnights). The PTSA will be talking about our budget plan for next year, plus more. We hope you can join us!
During the first day of a busy St. Patrick’s Day weekend, Seattle’s iconic Virginia Inn generously donated 50% of proceeds to our PTSA. We’re thrilled to be able to share that, as a result of this incredible kindness, we received a donation of $4,623!
Craig Perez – co-owner of the historic restaurant and bar, and a Hazel Wolf 4th grader parent – was the man behind the idea for this wonderful event, and we can’t thank him and the Virginia Inn team enough for their support of our school community.
Thanks also to the families who came out on March 16th and enjoyed food and drinks from the Inn’s delicious menu. We hope you had a fun downtown adventure with family and friends!

Well, that’s a wrap, folks! Our Spring Fling has flung, and it was SO. MUCH. FUN!!
When our school community asked for an in-person party, we listened – and whoa, did you show up and make the night ROCK!
“Dancing was really FUN!”
“Dessert Dash was beautiful – and delicious!”
“Guitar Gil & Friends did a GREAT job!”
From parents who’ve been with our school a long time and seen it become what it is today, to new parents just starting out and making it what it will be in the future – everyone was so generous, and spirits were high from doors open to lights out.
It was also incredibly special to celebrate alongside several of our amazing teachers and staff members, who we appreciate so much for helping all our students become the very best versions of themselves.
Oh, and the icing on the cake? You helped us exceed our goal and raise more than $25,000 to support our school community and programs!
All in all, there were happy memories made, and many positive takeaways from our first in-person party in five years. (Not least of which is… we’re excited to repeat events like this in the future!)
Huge and sincere thanks to everyone who helped make Spring Fling happen – from dessert donations to decor set-up, guest check-in to bartending – and to all our guests for being there, looking beautiful, and lighting up the dancefloor!
If you attended in any capacity and have feedback to share, we’d love to hear from you! Please email fundraising@hazelwolfk8.org with any comments, ideas or questions.
Want to help organize super-fun events like this for our school community? Consider joining our Board, or becoming a project lead or PTSA volunteer! No experience required, any and all levels of enthusiasm welcomed!
