Chef Herve LeBiavant is one of the new additions to the James Logan High School staff this year. He is the new instructor for Foods and teaches grades 9-12, periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7. LeBiavant has been teaching for eighteen years, but this is his first year at James Logan.

However, before he ended up here, LeBiavant has traveled the world dedicating himself to the culinary arts. He was born in Brittany, France, and attended three years of culinary school in Paris. From then, he has traveled all over Europe, working in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. In 1972, LeBiavant moved to the United States where he temporarily lived in New York City and Boston before he moved and lived in Japan for a year.

Freshmen families are one of the new experiments going on at James Logan this year. According to Matt Smith, principal of the freshmen house, the families are groups of 60-100 students with the same teachers for biology, life skills, and English. This program is meant to create small learning communities for the freshmen so they can get to know the teachers and the teachers can get to know them.

Erin Cross, freshman life skills teacher said, “In theory, the families are a great idea. I think they will allow the kids to be connected to school. I think they already feel closer to each other because of the core. I am hoping for continued support from the district and administrator in bringing this to full implementation.”

From wikipedia:
Marianne von Werefkin (September 10 [O.S. August 29] 1860, Tula, Russia – 6 February 1938, Ascona, Switzerland), born Marianna Wladimirowna Werewkina (transliteration Marianna Vladimirovna Verëvkina), was a Russian-Swiss Expressionist painter.

Life and career
Marianne von Werefkin was born the daughter of the commander of the Ekaterinaburg Regiment. In 1880, she became a student of Ilya Repin, the most important painter of Russian Realism. Her progress was dealt a setback by a hunting accident in 1888 in which she shot her right hand, the one with which she painted.
