There is a memorial of pink roses and a photo of Jessica Diaz placed on a table in Colt Court. Unfortunately, some students who sit at her table are rude and place their belongings upon the picture and crush the roses. I thought a memorial garden would be a fantastic addition to Logan in honor of the students who have passed away.

My main inspiration to this memorial garden was the memorial table for Diaz. If we had a garden, we wouldn’t have that conflict of others messing up memorials.


Courier Staff Report

The James Logan Colts crushed the Mission San Jose Warriors in varsity football action Saturday, the second straight Mission Valley Athletic League opponent the Colts annihilated.

This time, the Colts shut out the hapless Warriors, 63-0. Last week, American High School got the rough treatment.

The romp started with the Colts scoring 36 points in the first quarter, including scores on their first three offensive plays.

My alarm rings loudly at 5:15 am waking me up in a state of shock. I hastily press the snooze button and close my eyes again, instantly falling asleep. “DIIIIIIING!” A short while after, it rings again. It’s a Monday morning and as I struggle to fight the urge to go back to sleep and forget about everything, I kick off the covers and jump out of my bed. I look outside the window and everything seems so still.

Continuing a tradition he started six years ago, a local real estate agent is making certain that every third-grade student in the New Haven Unified School District has a dictionary. For the second year in a row, Sunil Sethi and his partners are supplying the students with thesauruses, too.

And this year, Mr. Sethi – with the help of fellow agent and former New Haven teacher Steven Fong – also is inviting students to participate in an essay contest.

From wikipedia:
Lilly Daché (10 October 1898 – 31 December 1989) was a French milliner and fashion designer.

She was born in Bègles, Gironde, France, and began her fashion career there at the age of 15 as a milliner, apprenticed under Caroline Reboux and Suzanne Talbot. Although she is said to have emigrated to the United States in 1924, the 1930 U.S. Census reports her as having entered this country in 1919; in any case, she settled in New York City. On 13 March 1931, Daché married French-born Jean Despres who was an executive at the large cosmetics and fragrance company, Coty, Inc. Their mutual love and successful supportive professional lives and collaboration endeared them to those around them.
