Students in Mrs. Michels’s class worked in groups to pick a social media influencer, describe what he or she is famous for, and if that influencer helps people with his or her platform. The students were challenged with using three vocabulary words from their story in their response. This activity was in preparation for their Literature article, “Not Everything It Seems”.
Congratulations to our September students of the month!

We are very excited to welcome and introduce another new staff member to Logan Junior High for this school year, Mrs. Jaimie Munson. Jamie is a former Logan student and comes to us from Wheaton Warrenville High School, but you can learn much more about her background by reading her bio below!
My teaching position this year is 8th grade science. I received my undergraduate degree in Secondary Science Education from Judson University (where I also played on the volleyball team), and my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University Chicago. I began my teaching career at Bartlett High School teaching biology and chemistry; and coached girl’s swimming and badminton. From there, I moved to the Crystal Lake High School District for 3 years where I taught earth science, biology, chemistry, and forensics; and helped coach the Science Olympiad team. After Crystal Lake, I spent 5 years at Wheaton Warrenville South High School teaching freshman biology (ranging from intermediate to advanced); and coached the varsity girls swimming team. I am from Princeton and attended Logan as a student. I love all activities revolving around water and enjoy getting caught up in a good book. I live in Princeton with my husband, two children, and a golden retriever named Moose. What I love most about teaching is getting to know my students and watching them grow over the course of the year. "If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with me in person or via email jaimie_munson@pes115.org.

Please join us in welcoming Emma Neuhalfen to our staff at Logan Jr. High this year! To help you get to know her a little better, please check out her bio below! We think Emma is going to be a great addition to our staff here at Logan and our community!
Hi! My name is Emma Neuhalfen, and I am the new 6th grade ELA teacher this year. I grew up in McNabb, IL and attended Putnam County schools! As I am sure one could guess, one of my favorite hobbies is reading; however, I also love to move my body (run/walk/hike/Pilates/weightlifting), cook fun meals, and spend time with my loved ones. One exciting life change is that I just got married this summer to my high school sweetheart! Furthermore, I graduated in the Spring from Olivet Nazarene University with my Bachelor of Science in English Education with an ESL endorsement. During the Spring semester, I student taught at Grant Park Middle School using the Wit and Wisdom curriculum, and the rigor of that curriculum helped prepare me for stepping into my role as a full-time teacher. Although pushing students to achieve great things is one of my favorite parts of teaching, the part that I value the most is showing students how loved they are, and seeing how they are able to blossom when they are in an environment where they feel seen, loved, and heard. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with me in person or via email, emma_neuhalfen@pes115.org.
