Logan's campus was filled with parents rushing to and from classes during Back to School Night. James Logan High School's Back to School Night was held Wednesday, September 27, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. This is a time for parents to get to know what classes their child is talking and how to contact teachers.

Something like a football game took place at the James Logan High School stadium Friday night as the Colts took on, or took out, the demoralized American High School Eagles by a score of 67 to 7.

The Colts kicked off to the Eagles to start the game. After numerous penalties on both teams, the Colts' Marquise Carpenter intercepted the ball from the Eagles.

From wikipedia:
Alexander Young Jackson, CC, CMG (October 3, 1882 – April 5, 1974) was a Canadian painter and a founding member of the Group of Seven.

As a young boy, Jackson worked as an office boy for a lithograph company, after his father abandoned his family of six children. It was at this company that Jackson began his art training. In the evenings, he took classes at Montreal's Monument-National.

In 1905, Jackson worked his way to Europe on a cattle boat, returning by the same means and travelling on to Chicago. In Chicago, he joined a commercial art firm and took courses at the Art Institute of Chicago. He saved his earnings and, by 1907, was able to visit France to study Impressionism. In France, Jackson decided to become a professional painter, studying at Paris' Académie Julian under J.P. Laurens.
