Celebrating Ms. Ellis’ Retirement
After 27 amazing years in education, including 25 of them right here at Logan, Jenny Ellis is retiring!

Throughout her career teaching kindergarten and first grade, Ms. Ellis has helped shape the earliest learning experiences for hundreds of Logan students. Her gentle guidance, warmth, and unwavering dedication have left a lasting impact on our school community.

While we are sad to say goodbye, we are also so excited for what lies ahead—traveling with family, diving into her reading list, and volunteering in her community.

Please join us in celebrating Ms. Ellis and honoring a career that made a difference every single day!
