Welcome, Class of 2039!
Over the past two days, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new Braves during Kindergarten Jumpstart! Our incoming kindergarten students met their classmates and teachers, and got comfortable in their new school.
Students showed our staff members what they already know through activities focused on skills like recognizing letters, numbers, colors, and writing. This gives teachers a chance to get to know each child and helps ensure they're ready for a successful start to the school year. Many of our new kindergarteners were already making new friends and getting excited for their first day.
We loved seeing some of our littlest Braves get ready to begin their Logan Elm journey & can't wait to officially welcome our kindergarten class back for an incredible school year!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second annual Brave Nation Tour! We are incredibly grateful for the amazing turnout and support from our community.
Thanks to the generosity of our staff, community partners, and volunteers, we were able to provide nearly 200 backpacks to local families. There was nothing better than seeing the smiles on our students' faces as they picked out their backpacks and school supplies!
We continue to be inspired by the willingness of our staff and community members to come together in support of our students. Thank you for helping make this event such a success. We can't wait to continue this tradition for years to come.

Learning is still going strong at Logan Elm this summer!
Our summer school students spent the last few weeks trying new things, getting creative, and having fun with friends. They baked chocolate chip cookies, planted their own gardens, went on scavenger hunts, learned about dinosaurs, and even took part in a hands-on "dino dig" to uncover fossils and bones.
We loved seeing students stay curious, work together, and make the most of their summer while still learning along the way.
We're glad we got to spend part of the summer with these Braves and can't wait to see them back in the fall!

High school students in Mr. Sargent’s class rounded out the year with a Paper Roller Coaster Challenge! Students got creative with their designs, and classmates and staff voted for the top four coasters: Turtle Coaster, Artemis, Candace Coaster, and The Lloyding Tower of Kahn (shoutout to Mr. Lloyd!). It was a fun way to end the year while putting their knowledge of physics, motion, and engineering concepts to the test.
Students in Mr. Griffith’s class recently got to experience a real-life “Camera Obscura” after a conversation about pinhole cameras sparked the idea to transform a classroom into one!
To create the effect, Mr. Griffith's room was completely darkened using cardboard and tape to block out windows and light sources. A sheet was then hung from the ceiling to act as the projection surface. After calculating the correct aperture size based on the distance from the doorway to the sheet, a small opening was cut into a piece of cardboard.
When the aperture was opened, sunlight reflecting off objects outside traveled through the opening and projected an image onto the sheet inside the dark room. Students were amazed to see the outdoor scene appear upside down and reversed, even watching people move past them on the other side of the door in real time!
The art activity also helped students connect the experiment to science concepts about the human eye. Just like the camera obscura, the eye uses the pupil as an aperture and the retina as the surface where images are projected. The brain then processes that information so we see the world right side up.
Such a fun and engaging hands-on learning experience!

This week, we are recognizing Mr. Douglas Meyer, a teacher at Logan Elm High School!
Today, our 5th graders celebrated an exciting milestone as they officially graduated from the D.A.R.E. program!
Throughout the program, students learned valuable lessons about making safe and responsible choices, building confidence, handling peer pressure, and becoming strong leaders both in and out of the classroom. We are so proud of the growth they have shown this year!
Thank you to our D.A.R.E. officer, Deputy Pete Bowers, for the time, guidance, and positive impact made on our students each week. We also want to thank families and everyone from the Pickaway County Sheriffs office who came to support.
Congratulations to all of our graduates on this accomplishment!

Elementary students took advantage of the beautiful weather today by heading outside for a fun tie-dye activity!
Students learned how to twist and wrap their shirts with rubber bands to create different patterns, then chose their favorite colors to dye their shirts.
It was a great day for creativity and enjoying time outside with classmates. Check out some photos below!
