Specials Supplies Letter

Last Friday, we sent a list of supplies needed for specials. Logan families can expect to start receiving this supply list every Friday afternoon. We hope that this additional communication will help you prepare for the week and make life a little more manageable in your household.

Included in this Friday communication was an announcement that we’re doing a mini-distribution on Tuesday, January 26 from 4:00pm until 5:00pm. We’ll be distributing PLTW supplies to first grade students only. All first-grade students will start a PLTW Science unit in February where they will study light waves and sound waves. As part of this unit, the PLTW department is providing every first-grade student with a flashlight, rubber band and a set of 6 translucent tiles or magna-tiles. These items will be an important part of PLTW so if you do not already have these items on hand please plan to pick up a set.

Author Visit

All Ann Arbor families are welcome to attend this special FREE Zoom lunch with author Josh Funk, author of It's Not Hansel and Gretel, How to Code a Sandcastle, and lots of other celebrated books for young readers! Click here for more information, including a link to order signed copies of Josh's books and a form where students may ask questions in advance.

Free Virtual Science Game Night for AAPS Students

Alpha Epsilon Delta, a pre-health organization at the University of Michigan is planning an online volunteer event for our community! 

All Elementary Students are welcome to sign up for a virtual science game night on Wednesday, February 10th at 4pm. 

Students and U-M volunteers will gather together on a Zoom call to play fun science games and get to talk about life with older mentors! 

The event should last around 30 minutes.
