The James Logan Courier

MISCELLANEOUS

James Logan students age 16 and up, donate blood at our semi-annual fall American Red Cross blood drive event on October 4th. There will be a table in Colt Court during both lunches all week for sign-ups and information. If you donate blood you will receive a free t-shirt and would save three lives!

More colleges and universities are visiting Logan’s campus than ever before. The latest to join the list is Cal Poly – SLO. For a complete listing of which colleges are coming and when, check the Logan website under college & career info. Then stop by the Career Center to sign up. But don’t wait too long as space is limited and open spots fill up quickly.

For students who wanted to get more involved in school activities, The Unity and Club Recruitment Fair allowed them an opportunity to learn about and join the many clubs Logan has to offer.

About three days prior to the event, announcements were made promoting the Thursday lunch time attraction planned by the Humanitarian Assistance Club and faculty. However, it left students confused becuase every year Logan has two separate events, one for the unity fair and another for club recruitment.

From wikipedia:
Kate Douglas Wiggin (September 28, 1856–August 24, 1923) was an American educator and author of children's stories, most notably the classic children's novel Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. She started the first free kindergarten in San Francisco in 1878 (the Silver Street Free Kindergarten). With her sister during the 1880s, she also established a training school for kindergarten teachers. Kate Wiggin devoted her adult life to the welfare of children in an era when children were commonly thought of as cheap labour.
