Jayne Logsdon, Special Education

I have been teaching in the area of Special Education for 10 years.  I love teaching a Pleasant Hill because we have such an inclusive feeling here.  We all strive to help kids be successful no matter what their needs.  The great part of that philosophy is that we then all get to be part of the successes!  That’s what keeps me coming back.

I live “near” Altoona – what I affectionately call “the beginning of the country.”  I was raised on a farm and I love that I don’t have to drive through any city traffic to get to work.   I am married and have 2 children and 2 stepchildren:  Jessica, 25; Danny, 20; Nick, 20; and Hannah, 19.  At this time, three of them are in college and one still lives a home.  My husband and I both enjoy cooking and we love to have them all together for big meals.  We all love to travel and boat.  I used to be an avid waterskiier, but am more likely to be found fishing these days.  Other hobbies include gardening and rooting for the Cyclones, especially in basketball.  We feel we are truly blessed, as we are presently all healthy and all our cars are running.
