Dear Logan Families,
Thanks to our PTO, we’ve updated the flags in our cafeteria to reflect the incredible diversity of the Logan community. We had to get smaller flags this time to fit all of the countries represented in our community! They look great! If you haven’t seen them yet, here is a short video.
In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:
Congratulations to our Academic Games Teams

Congratulations to our Academic Games Teams
On March 2-4, a team of twelve Logan and three Thurston students competed in the Michigan League of Academic Games State Tournament. They did a great job, and we are so proud of them. They went to the state tournament for the first time ever, and they did amazing! Each of our teams placed, and we had several teams place in the top three at the State Tournament.
Additionally, Ms. Jackson is one of the coaches of the Academic Games teams and she was honored with the MLag Hal Hauer Volunteer Award. She was recently featured on the AAPS District News along with Skyline senior David Lee! You can read the full article here. Great job, Ms. Jackson and David!
Family Traditions and Heritage Festival
Mark your calendars! Logan’s Family Traditions and Heritage Festival will be Friday, April 28, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM. This festival is an opportunity for us to celebrate and honor our school’s multicultural identity, our heritages and our family traditions
through sharing our favorite meal! Join the fun and ask other Logan families to participate with you! We are currently looking for volunteers willing to bring a family favorite dish to share. Details can be found here.
Food Gatherers Food Drive at Logan
There’s only a few days left for the Food Drive. We’re accepting perishable food donations and financial donations. You can donate directly to Logan’s Team Fundraising page here. Here are the complete details:
Each spring, the Ann Arbor Rotary Club partners with our local food bank, Food Gatherers, in a campaign to alleviate summer hunger in our community. The AAPS participates in this endeavor that benefits our students, families, senior citizens and neighbors. The 2023 campaign begins on Monday, March 6 - March 17, 2023.
This year, skyrocketing food prices have stretched the budgets of so many of our neighbors. More individuals and families in our community are turning to their local food pantries and meal programs to fill the gaps.
The 2023 campaign will once again collect nonperishable food in addition to financial contributions.
Logan will be accepting food donations. We’ll have large boxes at the front entrance if you’d like to donate.
Financial donations are also welcome. Financial contributions continue to be the primary focus of this fundraising drive allowing Food Gatherers to use their bulk buying power to distribute more food in our community. Donations of $25 or more made through the Rotary Fights Summer Hunger food drive will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. A gift of $25 provides enough food for 150 meals when you include the match!
