Support Hazel Wolf Teachers, Staff and Students through the Blue Envelope Campaign: November 6-28

Join us in carrying forward the legacy of Hazel Wolf with our Blue Envelope Campaign, this year’s direct appeal fundraiser.

Your generous donation supports important programs ranging from tutoring and staff grants to outdoor education and Jump Start. The first 50 donations get a Hazel Wolf tote bag! And there’s a fun way for students to get involved too. Learn more and donate here: https://hazelwolfk8.org/2023-blue-envelope/ 

Volunteer Orientation: Dates and Times

Please note that there is an additional step to the Volunteer Process at Hazel Wolf.  We love having volunteers at the school, but we have very strict guidelines that we have to follow in order to have anyone volunteer in any capacity at Hazel Wolf.  The steps to become a volunteer at Hazel Wolf are as follows:

Fill out the volunteer paperwork and be approved by our Volunteer Coordinator, Yolanda Jackson.  Ms. Jackson keeps the list of approved volunteers.

Attend a Volunteer Orientation with Principal Breuder prior to final approval.  The safety and security of Hazel Wolf students school is the highest priority, which includes our Principal meeting with the adults that come into the school.

Here is the link to attend a Volunteer Orientation session:

What consignment items are most likely to sell?

Winter clothes and layers were a big hit last year! In particular, gently used socks, rainboots, waterproof pants in a variety of sizes were very popular items. We would love for people to consign their used ski gear too.

Is there a way that I can drop off my consignment options quickly?

Yes! This year you can pre-register your consignment items online! No need to fill out paperwork on site, this year you can register all consignment items before you drop them off. Then bring your consignment items to one of our drop off dates and we can help you determine the best price, answer additional questions, and you’re all set. Volunteers are available to help with registration at consignment drop off, too.
