Leading up to our homecoming game and homecoming dance is Spirit Week.

Starting today, Logan students are showing their school spirit by dressing up in what their leadership class has assigned for each day of the week.

Today, freshmen came dressed as their favorite superhero. Tuesday is Hawaiian day. On Lazy Baby Day, otherwise known as pajama day, which is Thursday, freshman can come in their pajamas or whatever they wear when they’re feeling lazy. On Friday freshman can wear yellow to represent the graduating class of 2013. One freshman said that the freshmen leadership class “should be more creative. I think they could do much better than that.”

Due to Veterans Day there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11th.

Sometimes in order to enjoy certain things in life you must lose them first. Friday's win over Washington High School felt great as we lost to them in heartbreaking fashion last year. The final score was 28-10 and we outgained them in total offense by 200 yards. Many of the sports reporters had Washington winning this game in convincing fashion. We proved them wrong and will finally get the respect we deserve.

WASHINGTON _ Frank McBryde says there are plenty of parallels between serving in the U.S. military and teaching.

"You're not going to become rich, you need loyalty, and you need to be dedicated to a task," said McBryde, 54.

After a 23-year career in the Navy and retiring as a senior chief operations specialist, McBryde is now teaching math to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders in suburban Sacramento, Calif.

From wikipedia:
Guillaume Apollinaire (August 26, 1880 – November 9, 1918) was a poet, writer, and art critic born in Italy. Among the foremost poets of the early 20th century, he is credited with coining the word surrealism and writing one of the earliest works described as surrealist, the play Les Mamelles de Tirésias (1917). Two years after being wounded in World War I, he died at 38 of the Spanish flu during a pandemic.
