Dear Logan Families, 

Wow! We had such a successful Fun Run last week. The weather was perfect for a day of running, and we finished the day with treats from the Kona Shaved Ice truck. Thank you to our Logan PTSO for organizing such a fantastic event. And, thank you to the entire Logan community for supporting our fundraising efforts. The official numbers aren’t in yet, but so far, we’ve raised over $16,000! This money will go directly to programming for students here at Logan. It helps fund teacher vouchers to purchase supplies for kids, activities like Beats and Treats and the Spring Carnival, enrichment activities, and more! Thank you for your generosity and for supporting our school!


I spent the day taking photos, and I’ve uploaded them into this Google folder (Link removed for this blog. Logan families can check their emails to access photos). Feel free to download any pictures of your kids. We will not be sharing them publicly. 


In this weekly update, I’ve included information about: 


  • Introducing Logan’s New PE Teacher

  • M-STEP Reports

  • Important Upcoming Dates


As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. 


Sincerely,

Will Wright


Introducing Logan’s New PE Teacher

I am pleased to share that we have hired a new PE teacher. As you know, Ms. Singleton resigned in early Fall for personal reasons. Steve Kahldon will be Logan’s new PE teacher. Mr. Kahldon grew up in Michigan and lived in Arizona for the past 35 years.  He attended college at Arizona State University and also received his M. Ed at ASU.  Mr. Kahldon was on the bowling team at ASU for 4 years.  He has coached both baseball and basketball for 35 years. Mr. Kahldon has a background in biomechanics and was an assistant trainer for an Olympic gold medal sprinter.  Mr. Kahldon writes, “I am looking forward to getting to know all of the awesome Logan students!” 


M-STEP Reports

Last Spring, a few Logan families opted to have their children take the M-STEP. M-STEP reports will be coming home this Thursday. Only those families who opted into the test will receive a report.
