The James Logan Courier

James Logan's food services are steering clear of serving beef caught up in a scandal involving animal cruelty and unhealthy cattle.

The action came in response to directives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the California Department of Education last week.

The department placed an administrative hold on all products from the Westland Meat Co., a main supplier to the National School Lunch Program.

MENU: Spicy Chicken Patty, Milk, Fresh Fruit, Fun Chips
Turkey Ham and Pineapple Pizza

ACTIVITIES:
Ballet Folklorico is having their 18th annual Sabor Latino fundraiser dance on Saturday, 2/23. Advance tickets-$6 & $9 at the door. See Mr. Huertas in the Counseling Office.

Is the cold bringing you down? A hoodie from Colt Necessities will bring that frown upside down! Located at the Career Center, open both lunches.

Stop by Colt Court through Wed. to send someone a flower for Valentine’s Day & support the Garden Club!

Recently, many High School Seniors who attend James Logan or Conley-Caraballo have received newsletters home regarding the New Haven Schools Foundation Scholarship Program for the 2008 school year. For many years, this program has been designed to help students with financial needs and provide them with an opportunity to earn money for college.

A tutoring program designed to boost the grades of freshman struggling to succeed in their first year of high school has yielded some unexpected results: generally lower grades for those in the program.

At the start of this school year, new programs to help freshmen cope with the transition from middle school, such as the freshman families, were instituted.

Believing the freshman year is a student’s most pivotal year, Logan teacher Perri Darweesh started a formal tutoring program, held during zero period, to provide help for freshman who failed one or more classes in their first quarters at Logan.
