Family Traditions and Heritage Festival
Sweatpants and Underwear Needed in the Clinic
The Logan clinic is running low on sweatpants and children’s underwear. As the weather warms (and the mud increases!) we are seeking donations to restock the clinic. We need size 10-16 black and gray sweatpants and new packages of children’s underwear, all sizes. If you have items to donate, please send them to the office. Also, if your child borrowed clothes from the clinic, please wash them and return them to Logan at your earliest convenience.
Spring After-School Classes @ LOGAN
AAPS Rec & Ed is excited to offer several after-school classes focused on fun, learning, movement, and discovery. Registration is NOW OPEN! Click on each class option below or visit www.aarecedonline.com. Scholarships are available! Please call (734) 994-2300 ext. 0 for assistance.
Pi(e) Day and Ramadan
On Thursday, March 14, Logan will be celebrating Pi day with special math activities led by Coach Natalie in our classrooms and by serving pie in the cafeteria during lunch. This year, Pi(e) Day falls during the month of Ramadan, and we recognize this will impact students who are fasting. If your child is fasting, please let us know, and we are happy to wrap up a slice of pie for them to take home and enjoy when they break their fast in the evening. Feel free to reply to this email and let me know if you’d like us to do this for your child.
Ramadan Mubarak to all of our Logan families who are celebrating!
In-District Transfer (IDT) Window Now Open
IDT applications are being accepted from February 26 - March 29. IDT is for families that live within the boundaries of the Ann Arbor Public School district but would like to attend a school that is not their zoned school. More information on In-District Transfers can be found here.
Families who are currently enrolled at Logan do not need to apply. Only families who wish to attend a different school would need to apply. If you know any families who live outside our attendance area and wish to enroll at Logan, please let them know the IDT window is now open.
***Fifth grade families who are currently enrolled at Logan under a School of Choice enrollment or an In-District Transfer enrollment will need to apply for IDT to attend Clague if Clague is not your home school and you wish for your child to go there next year.
2024 Ann Arbor Rotary Club Fights Child Hunger Food Drive - LAST WEEK TO DONATE
Each spring, the Ann Arbor Rotary Club partners with Food Gatherers in a campaign to fight child hunger in our community. The AAPS is pleased to continue our participation in the 2024 drive, beginning Monday, March 4 - Friday, March 15.
The 2024 drive will include collecting nonperishable food at participating AAPS buildings. Food donations are always appreciated and provide an excellent way to involve our students in this vital effort.
Staff and community members are encouraged to make financial donations, as Food Gatherers is able to use their bulk buying power to efficiently distribute more food in our community. For every $5 donated, Food Gatherers can provide 10 meals to our hungry neighbors.
The 2024 Rotary Fights Child Hunger donation drive goal is to gather food and funds to provide 100,000 meals.
Donations of $25 or more made through the Rotary drive will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. A gift of $25 provides enough food for 100 meals when you include the match!
Please consider donating either non perishable food items or making a financial donation to food gathers. You can donate directly to Logan’s team page here. Donations made to team/individual pages also qualify for matching funds.
Thank you in advance for your contributions in support of our local community.
