🎃🍬 Halloween Fun Brings Our Raiders Together!

On Friday, Benjamin Logan High School welcomed some of our littlest Raiders for a special Spirit Walk filled with costumes, candy, and plenty of smiles!

High school students enjoyed sharing treats and making memories with their younger Raider friends.

Thanks to the generosity of our BLHS families, BPA members, and Elementary PTC, more than 12,000 pieces of candy were donated, breaking last year’s record of 10,000!

A special thank-you to everyone who donated candy and helped make this fun tradition possible. It’s always a treat to see our older and younger Raiders come together! 🖤💛

💛 Another Great Opportunity for Benjamin Logan Middle School!

Congratulations to fifth-grade teacher Stacy Hamlin on receiving a $2,400 grant from the Mary Rutan Foundation to purchase books for a planned book vending machine at Benjamin Logan Middle School!

The goal is to bring a book vending machine to the middle school commons next school year as part of the school’s Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program. Students will have the opportunity to earn books as rewards for demonstrating positive behavior and making good choices.

While funding is still being sought to purchase the vending machine, this generous grant will help provide the books needed to get the program started.

Thank you to the Mary Rutan Health for supporting our students and encouraging a love of reading!

🌟 Exploring Careers and Future Possibilities!

Yesterday, Benjamin Logan seventh graders visited Riverside Schools to explore different careers as part of the Logan County Collaborative’s 3E initiative!

Students had the opportunity to meet local professionals, participate in hands-on activities, ask questions, and discover what different jobs are really like.

From healthcare and public safety to skilled trades and more, students learned about career opportunities available right here in Logan County.

It’s never too early to start thinking about the future! Thank you to Riverside Schools, the Logan County Collaborative, and all the local businesses and organizations that helped make this experience possible!

👩‍🍳🍝 Cooking Up Life Skills at Benjamin Logan!

Something smells good at Benjamin Logan! Our students have been busy in the kitchen, making the school smell like an Italian restaurant! 🇮🇹

From homemade spaghetti sauce to macaroni and cheese, students practiced following recipes, measuring ingredients, preparing food, and working together.

These hands-on experiences help students build confidence, independence, and everyday skills they can use beyond the classroom! 🖤💛

📚 Learning Life Skills for the Future!

Growing up comes with plenty of decisions and challenges, and Benjamin Logan High School students are learning ways to navigate them!

Students in Health Teacher Brittony Leonard’s class kicked off a new book study today in the high school library. They are reading Life Strategies for Teens by Jay McGraw, a book that helps young people think about everyday choices, handle challenges, build confidence, and prepare for adulthood.

Through this book study, students will have opportunities to reflect on their own experiences and discover lessons they can use both now and in the future.

❤️ Sometimes the most valuable lessons are the ones students carry with them long after high school!
