The Logan Fund

Dear Logan Community,

Welcome back to a new school year! Our son, Sam, is making the big leap from the first floor to the second floor this year. 🙂 He is in Neha & Ivey’s Lower Intermediate School class. We are thrilled to be part of his journey, and we’re making our own leap this year as chairs of The Logan Fund.

Our story with The Logan School starts many years ago, well before we became parents. Both of us started our careers as middle school teachers in a low-income community in Phoenix, and we dreamed of school working differently than it did. We envisioned school as a second home for students, a community for families, and a place where children could fall in love with learning. For a long time, that felt more like an aspiration than a reality. Until we found Logan.

When we moved to Denver, a friend told us that she sent her twins to a “gem of a school” where children are architects, engineers, artists, authors, scientists, and historians; where students are loved for who they are; and where parents find lifelong friends. It sounded too good to be true, but now that we have experienced the Logan community for three years, we can emphatically say that our friend couldn’t have been more correct. Each morning, Sam is excited to come to school, curiosity emanating from his smile. Guided by Logan, Sam has been able to study cyanobacteria with scientists at the Denver Botanic Gardens, design and build a beaver dam, connect the Fibonacci sequence to sporophytes, and descend deep into a gold mine in Idaho Springs. And we have formed some of the strongest friendships, which we know will last well beyond our years as Logan parents. 

We’ve also come to understand that creating a school like Logan takes extraordinary teachers and staff, small classes, individualized learning, a remarkable campus, and a community willing to invest in all of it. That is why we’re honored to chair The Logan Fund this year.

We are looking forward to a wonderful year and to connecting with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

As with all independent schools, tuition is a major source of revenue for Logan, but it does not fully cover the cost of a Logan education. Each year, through The Logan Fund, our community comes together to invest in our school and “bridge the gap” between tuition and total cost; this year, the difference is $3,000 per student. Contributions to the fund are put to immediate use, supporting every aspect of Logan. These include:

• Our Teachers and Staff: Competitive salaries and benefits allow us to attract and retain Logan’s incredible team.
• Individualized Learning: Small classes and unique learning environments are hallmarks of a Logan education.
• Our Community: Financial aid helps foster a diverse and inclusive student body.
• Our Campus: The fund supports the maintenance of our beautiful campus and learning spaces.

The Logan Fund Committee is working to achieve two important goals this year:

1. Raise $334,000
2. Achieve 100% participation from all Logan families

The Logan Fund campaign will officially kick off later this month. We hope you will join us in supporting this incredible school and community. If you are able, please consider a gift of $3,000 or more. A gift of any size is a vote of confidence in Logan, in one another, and in the kind of education we dreamed about years ago. 

With Gratitude,

Adam Silver and Britt Jerlinga
