Dear Logan Families,

We had a great first week of school, capped off with our Opening Assembly on Thursday. During the assembly, we greeted our students in many languages spoken within our school community, including Arabic, Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. We also welcomed everyone using American Sign Language and an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device, so students could see the various ways people communicate in our community. Following the greetings, I read the book All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold and Suzanne Kaufman to the school community. We introduced the entire Logan staff to the students, and the assembly concluded on the playground with our annual flag-raising ceremony led by our student safeties. It was a lovely end to a great first week of school!

In this Weekly Update, I’ve included information about:

  • Power Outage at Logan
  • Logan Fall After-School Classes
  • Volunteering at Logan
  • We’re Hiring: Become a Lunchroom Supervisor!
  • Important Upcoming Dates

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Will Wright

Power Outage at Logan

We had a bit of excitement today! As you may have heard, the power went out this morning just before 11:00 a.m. Our staff did a great job supporting students through the outage, and the kids stayed calm and went with the flow as we waited for DTE to restore power. We maintained our normal school routines as best as possible. The power was restored around 12:30 p.m., and we continued with our school day as usual for the remainder of the day.

We are looking for more people to work in our lunchroom as lunchroom supervisors. This is a paid, hourly position. Lunchroom staff work two hours per day, supervising during lunch and recess.
