About Tessa Logan

Tessa Logan was the kind of teacher who gave every child in her class the attention they deserved. She was known for investing her undivided attention in her kindergarteners, one child at a time.

The Tessa Logan Legacy Fund will allow her legacy to live on, long after her time in the classroom ended. Ms. Logan knew that students with unmet needs could not be full participants in their education. Grants from the fund named for her will allow educators to meet these needs and encourage full student participation in their education, whether it’s by making a field trip possible or providing everyday needs, like warm winter jackets, that a student might otherwise go without.

The Tessa Logan Legacy Fund joined the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio after more than a decade of existence as a scholarship-granting organization for students at the former River Valley Community School. Looking to honor its original purpose while remembering the legacy of Tessa Logan, representatives of the fund found a new home at FAO. The fund’s move to FAO lets it remember Ms. Logan’s commitment to meeting students’ needs while entrusting the day-to-day stewardship of the fund to FAO’s dedicated staff.
