The Hope Connections Club was started by former Logan math teacher Linda Rodriguez several years ago. She had a vision to teach students to give without expecting anything in return. The main idea of this club is to help the less fortunate, needy people in the community.

The highlight of the year is the winter drive.

Being a senior can be quite expensive. Between college applications, saving up for tuition, and new gas expenses (the downside to finally having a license), money is hard to find, especially in this economy. Because of this, many seniors have been forced to sit out on senior activities such as prom and the senior picnic. However, senior Paola Lizaola has created a simple solution to ensure that fewer students' senior years will be inhibited due to costs.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night received a presentation on campus safety from James Logan High School Principal Amy McNamara and School Site Council President John Shockley.

Ms. McNamara and Mr. Shockley told the Board that the Logan staff has been working on the four priorities outlined during a September safety meeting with the Board:

1) Student activities: ensuring the future of co-curricular activities in uncertain budget times; providing more places for students to gather and eat; a clean campus initiative; improving flow of information to students.

2) Security: addressing gang activity on campus; implementation of video surveillance system; clarifying consequences for negative behavior; increased monitoring of bathrooms.

From wikipedia:
Erskine Preston Caldwell (December 17, 1903, Coweta County, Georgia – April 11, 1987) was an American author.

Caldwell was born in a house in the woods outside Moreland, Georgia, the son of a minister in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. His early childhood was spent moving from state to state across the South, as his father found a position in one church after another.
