Winter Giving

As we approach the holiday season, there are many opportunities to support families at Logan and throughout the Ann Arbor Public Schools (AAPS).

  • Logan Families in Need:
    Logan has several families who need assistance with winter clothing and gifts. If you’d like to contribute, please visit our Amazon wish list. Thank you for your generosity! For questions, contact Maia Gleason-Teener at gleasonteenerm@aaps.k12.mi.us.

  • Supporting Allen Elementary:
    The Logan PTSO has also partnered with the Ann Arbor Public Schools by selecting a Title 1 school to support. Title 1 schools are schools where a higher percentage of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. This year, we will be supporting Allen Elementary. If you would like to support another school community, you can learn about ways to give here

  • Additional Ways to Help:
    Still looking for other ways to help during the Winter? Visit a2schools.org/wintergiving and select Resources for Families and Students for information on free meals, winter clothing, gifts and more.
