Logan Fun Run Week!!! 

Thank you to everyone who has donated to support our Logan PTSO. In the PTSO eBackpack, families will find information about the Logan Fun Run. This is an important fundraiser for our PTSO. Money raised through this event helps fund many of the great activities that occur throughout the year, and I encourage families to participate. Please take time to read through the details in the PTSO blog, and thanks in advance for your support! 


The Fun Run will be held on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. Families are welcome to come cheer for your child(ren). The schedule for the day is listed below so you can come when your child is running. We hope to see you there!

Fun Run Support for AAPS Title 1 Schools

We are so grateful for the support of the Logan community for our Fun Run.  Fun Runs are a common way for schools across the district to raise money through their PTSOs. The Ann Arbor PTO Council and I invite Logan families to consider supporting some of the Title I schools in AAPS.. Below is a list of schools that are raising funds through a Fun Run. The numbers in parentheses reflect their current fundraising and their fundraising goals. If your family has the resources to support another school, please consider donating to one of these schools as well.

Gretchen’s House Parking Lot

Logan families are not permitted to park in the Gretchen’s House parking lot unless you have a student enrolled in their day care, preschool, or school age childcare programs. Please be advised that Gretchen’s House will tow vehicles that are parked illegally in their lot. Logan families are welcome to park in our parking lot or to use street parking along Traver Blvd. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. 



EduStaff Substitute Teacher Positions

As we are headed into the Winter season, which also may be known as cold/flu/COVID season, the Ann Arbor Public Schools (AAPS) is looking for substitute teachers and paraeducators to support our classrooms.  If you are a passionate person who enjoys connection with students EduStaff is looking for you.  Substitute positions are necessary and meaningful work that enriches the lives of students in our community. If you, your family or friends are interested in making an impact, we encourage you to support the AAPS team as a substitute teacher or paraeducator.  Start your application at https://www.edustaff.org/
