Logan Pantry Now Fully Stocked and Ready to Support Families
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, our pantry is now full of nutritious food and essentials to help families during these uncertain times. If your family could benefit from extra food support, please don’t hesitate to visit the school office. Our staff will warmly welcome you and invite you to take whatever you need—no questions asked. If it’s more convenient, we’d be happy to pack up a bag of groceries for you to take home.
We want every family in need to have access to these resources, so please reach out and make use of this support. Together, we’re ensuring no one in our Logan community goes without.
If you’d still like to help, donations of non-perishable food are always appreciated to keep the pantry stocked for everyone. Here is a list of items that we need.
Thank you for being part of this caring community!

A Note from the Art Room
Our art room uses Artsonia, an online portfolio system where parents and family members can view and comment on student work as soon as it is completed. If you have not connected to Artsonia, your student received a personalized QR code in their Friday folder. If you are already using Artsonia, no action is required. Artsonia is free for us to use but offers parents/caregivers the option to purchase merchandise with your student's artwork printed on it. Please do not feel obligated to use this feature.
Congratulations to our Logan-Thurston Academic Games Team!
We had 27 students compete in the October tournament last week in Detroit, MI. Some awesome news to share:
Our team average went up this month!
6 of our players had PERFECT SCORES, meaning they won all 3 rounds.
We again came in FIRST PLACE for Top Five in our Region (including elementary and middle school)!!
Great job Logan-Thurston team!
