Girls’ JV Volleyball Champions! Congratulations to the Logan Girls JV Volleyball Team for winning the MVAL League Championship! Great job, team! GO COLTS! Keep up the good work and let’s do it again next season!

Hey Logan! Did you know that since the beginning of school we have totaled more than 16,800 tardies. That’s 3600 for Freshmen, 5200 for Sophomores, 4900 for Juniors and 3100 for Seniors. That’s the same as each student at Logan having 4 tardies. Imagine if each tardy equaled one minute of class time lost…that’s 280 hours of learning lost. To improve our tardy situation, the Logan Tardy Roundups are back. Starting this week, and each week from now on, there will be random tardy roundups. If you get caught in one, that’s a phone call home and an hour of detention. If you hear the music, you know it’s on…so don’t be late!

Fashion, love, friends and alcohol. For three English women, life becomes simple once every month when they meet up at one of London’s sassiest bars for drinks to let loose and have a great time. Working at a famous fashion magazine seems like a dream, but soon that sweet dream turns into a nightmare. There’s something that each of these women are hiding from each other—a deep, dark secret that they have decided to keep to themselves. But all turns for the worst when these secrets reveal themselves, and their jobs and friendships are at stake.

Maggie Drakeford is a hard-working girl. She never gives up, always does her best and puts her heart into everything she does. But life becomes quite difficult for Maggie. She’s pregnant, and there’s one thing that she can’t seem to cope with—motherhood. She feels inferior to other pregnant mothers, her husband doesn’t understand how she’s feeling and her mother-in-law always makes her feel like she doesn’t know how to take care of a baby. Maggie keeps these feelings to herself and doesn’t tell Candice or Roxanne, instead learning to deal with these issues herself.

New Haven Unified School District voters elected Linda Canlas and Sarabjit Cheema to seats on the Board of Education in Tuesday's election, both for their first term.

Ms. Canlas, principal of Faith Ringgold School for the Arts & Sciences in Hayward and the mother of two college-age daughters who attended New Haven schools, was the leading vote-getter in the four-candidate race.

From wikipedia:
Lois Mailou Jones (November 3, 1905 – June 9, 1998) was a prize winning artist who lived into her nineties and who painted and influenced others during the Harlem Renaissance and beyond during her long teaching career. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts and is buried on her beloved Martha's Vineyard in the Oak Bluffs Cemetery.

Dr. Jones began painting as a child and had shows of her work when she was in high school. "Every summer of my childhood, my mother took me and my brother to Martha’s Vineyard island. I began painting in watercolor which even today is my pet medium."
