Join us for Logan WinterFest
Logan PTSO would like to thank our generous community for all their efforts in making the Fun Run a huge success. To celebrate exceeding our goal the PTSO has organized Logan's first-ever Winterfest - a fun evening of free outdoor ice skating and hot chocolate. PTSO will cover the costs for admissions, skate rental, and a warm beverage from the bear claw truck parked on site. Skating will be from 5:30-6:45pm. Skate rentals will be on site and given on a first come, first serve basis. The number of skates may be limited, so bring your own pair of skates if you have them and limit your skate time to 30 minutes if others are waiting to rent skates. Buhr Park recommends bringing an extra pair of thick socks in case you need to go up a size in skates. If you are a new skater, bringing and wearing a helmet is recommended (bike helmets work great). *Please note that this event is only for logan families (non-logan siblings are included) and we cannot accommodate additional friends or family members.
Logan’s Got Talent
Logan is now accepting audition videos for our annual Talent Show which will take place on Thursday, January 26, 2023. Audition video submissions are due by Friday, December 16. They can be submitted by following this link. See the flier below for more details. We can't wait to see our talented Logan Leopards on the stage!
Become a Lunchroom Supervisor!
We are once again looking for a couple more people to work in our lunchroom. This is a paid, hourly position. Lunchroom staff work two hours per day supervising during lunch and recess. It’s a great way to spend some time with the kids during the day. If you’re interested in learning more about this position, please contact Mr. Wright.
Logan Helps Set a New World Record!
Congratulations to Coach Kahldon (PE) and to all of our Logan Leopards for helping set a new world record for cup stacking! 737,863 stackers is the new “STACK UP! World Record.” Logan participated in two days of cup stacking to help set this record. Congratulations to all!
AAPS to Eliminate the use of Styrofoam in Cafeterias
Beginning in January 2023, the AAPS will eliminate the use of Styrofoam lunch trays at all elementary schools; and complete the elimination of all Styrofoam materials in cafeteria/food and nutrition services across all locations in the AAPS by the start of the 2023/24 school year. This is announcement is part of the first-ever AAPS Environmental Sustainability Framework that was released last week. If you would like to provide ideas and feedback, AAPS is collecting input through a thought exchange found here.
Last Chance - Winter Giving at Logan
Thank you to the Logan community for your generosity! We have just a few items left on our Winter Giving Lists. If you’re interested in donating, there is still time. Once again, here are the details:
The Logan staff has been hard at work making sure that we’re supporting all of our Logan Leopards, and we are beginning two different giving campaigns to support our families. First, we want to make sure that all students have warm winter gear so we are looking for donations of gently used winter clothing items. We created this Sign Up Genius with all of the needs we’ve identified so far. If you have any of these items, please “sign up” for that slot and send your donated item to the main office at Logan. Please make sure the items are clean prior to donating. Put your donated items in a bag and label the bag with the name you used in the Sign Up Genius. You’ll also notice a few items on the list that are not winter gear related. These items are part of the Christmas giving support campaign (see below).
We are also supporting families who celebrate Christmas. We have created this Amazon wish list to help make giving easy. If you’d like to donate a gift to a Logan Leopard, simply select an item from this list and purchase it. Please have the item shipped to your house and then send it to the school. Be sure to label the item “Donation for Winter Giving.”
Thank you to Logan’s Social Workers, Maia Gleason-Teener and Kaylee Keena for organizing these campaigns and thank you in advance to the Logan community for your generosity.
