Dear Logan Families,
Last week, we celebrated Pi Day. As part of the celebration, we served pie to all the students in our cafeteria. This project was organized by Logan’s math coach, Natalie DePasquale. Coach Natalie was recently featured in the AAPS District News. Check out this article on another exceptional Logan teacher! Both Natalie and I wanted to thank the MANY families who sent pies in and to all of the parents who volunteered to serve pie. It was such a fun day, and we are so grateful to all of the families who helped make it happen
We also hosted the Disability Awareness Workshop on Wednesday, March 8 for our fourth and fifth grade students. This was the first time we hosted this event since the pandemic and it was great to see its return! Thank you to our PTO for helping organize it, and thank you especially to our DAW planning committee, Virginia Allen, Erin Barbossa, and Laura Emmer.
I’m a little late getting my weekly update out to families this week, but I wanted to share some important updates before we head into spring break. Please take a moment to read through this Weekly Update.
In it, I’ve included information about:
Our Arriving to School On Time
Talent Show - New Date…Again!
Logan Elementary Science Fair
Spring After-School Classes
Family Traditions and Heritage Festival
Huron Book Bash
Important Upcoming Dates
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Will Wright
Our Arriving to School On Time
We are seeing more and more students arriving late each day. I wanted to remind the entire Logan community about the importance of arriving at school on time. Teachers start the day right away and when your child arrives late, they are missing important instruction. The first bell rings at 8:42 AM, the second bell rings at 8:45 AM, and instruction starts immediately after the second bell. Please do everything you can to bring your child to school on time.
Talent Show - New Date…Again!
Because of the school closures after the ice storm, we had to postpone Logan’s Talent Show again. We are going to give it one more shot by rescheduling again. We have rescheduled the event for Thursday, April 13 at 6:00 PM. We hope you can make it!
Logan Elementary Science Fair
The LOGAN ELEMENTARY SCIENCE FAIR is coming soon!!! This year, the science fair will be held on April 19th, from 6-7:30 pm. Students are welcome to bring a collection, experiment, presentation, model or demonstration.
Please sign up to participate by April 5th, through this form: https://forms.gle/rKwGcvPXuj8sMypt7, or on the paper form sent home with your student before Spring Break (coming in Friday folders). All 5th graders are participating, so no form needs to be filled in for 5th graders.
If you have questions, feel free to contact Catherine Archibald at catherinearchibald@gmail.com.

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.
Huron Book Bash
This spring, on April 15th from 1-3pm, Huron will be hosting a Book Bash for the AAPS community. We will have activities and crafts galore, including bookmark decorating, mini bowling, face painting, and more! We will also have events such as raffles and story time. There will be food, beverages, and live music performed by Huron's renowned musicians.
The purpose of this event is to engage the community through literacy and community service. To be admitted to the event, attendees need to donate at least one book. All donated books go to Huron students in need and Washtenaw County's Court Involved Youth Schools program. Attendees are also encouraged to make monetary donations, which will be donated to our food pantry, a resource students depend on a daily basis for their everyday meals.
If you would like to attend, please RSVP using the RSVP form. Please RSVP by March 31.
