Kindness Week at Log College
While we like to think every week is Kindness Week at Log College, this week was the official one. On Wednesday, students were asked to "Choose Kindness" and wear red.
Portraits
In Art Class, students have begun hanging their portraits around the building, and Log College has become our own special gallery. (Can you say...TALENT?!)
Dorney Park Trip
8th Grade Parents/Guardians:
Last week, 8th grade students received three forms regarding this year's 8th Grade Trip to Dorney Park:
1. An information letter (this letter includes a chaperone sign-up form)
2. A student permission slip
3. A medical form
*If your child is attending, you will need to return all forms at the same time.
*If you are chaperoning, you will need to separate your payment from your child's.
*The window to return these items is 2/20-2/29.
*If you are suffering a financial hardship at this time, and this hardship is the reason your child will not attend, please contact your child's counselor.

Taste of Culture Night
Log College Middle School hosted its second annual "Taste of Culture Night"! This exciting event brings together a diverse group of students, fostering connections through the exploration of different cultural dishes.
We had a great turnout and thank you for your support!
Black History Month - Influential Figures
In 7th Grade Social Studies, students selected and created profiles of influential African Americans to adorn the hallways.
8th Grade English Language Arts
Honing Literacy Skills Through SpringBoard
Students in 8th grade ELA classes worked on several skills while reading “from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass,” an autobiography. Students worked collaboratively to summarize sections of the text, identify Douglass’s motivation to act/ be free, and analyze how the structure contributed to the overall meaning of the text. After completing the assignment, the groups presented their summaries and analysis to the class.
Fundraiser (Santucci's Pizza)
Tuesday, February 27! Show the attached flyer when you order from Santucci's, and Log College's Home and School Association will receive a percentage of the proceeds. Click the link for the flyer.
70's Day at Log
On February 21, there will be less than 80 days remaining in the school year (Can you believe it?!?)
What better way to acknowledge that than to roll back the clock and have a 70's Day! Dress up in your best 70's outfit.
Winter Sports
Dear Log College Families,
Winter Sports season is quickly approaching here at Log College. The Winter sports season runs from November through February and features four sports open to our 7th and 8th-grade students. Log College will be offering Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Wrestling, and Cheerleading. We are pleased to announce that, for the first time (if enough students try out), we will have Junior Varsity (JV) teams for both boys and girls basketball, providing more students with the opportunity to participate in winter sports. It's important to note that these are not exclusively 7th or 8th-grade teams but are composed of a mix of both grades.
If your child is planning to participate in any of these sports, he/she must have a physical. No student may play or practice until a physical has been received.
PIAA sports physical -
All students must have a completed PIAA physical (dated after June 1, 2023). The physical forms can be downloaded from the link - PIAA Physical Form - Updated 3/22/23 (or you can pick one up from Mr. Corey, our athletic director or any LCMS coaches).
If you have already played a sport in the Fall, you do not need to complete a new physical, but you must re-submit section 7 (Re-certification by parent/guardian) from the PIAA physical form. This page does not require seeing a doctor or medical provider.
If you did not submit a PIAA physical in the Fall, you must complete Sections 1 to 5 within the PIAA sports physical packet. This must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian. Section 6 must be completed by an authorized medical examiner (family doctor, urgent care, minute clinic). You can ignore pages 7-8.
If you cannot find an appointment time with your doctor, you may use another provider or visit a CVS Minute Clinic or visit an Urgent Care center. The Centennial School District has a partnership with Liberty Urgent Care:
If you use any of the following Liberty Urgent Care centers and mention Centennial SD, your physical will only cost $20. (Locations listed below)

Thank you,
