They did the same thing right after the July 25 accident, but much of the class was on vacation.

"The kids that couldn't come were crushed," said Bridget Devine, whose son J.P. is friends with Logan.

A banner was even taken to Avalon, N.J. so families vacationing at the shore could sign one.

Devine said that for most children in the class this is their first experience of a peer almost dying.

"Logan has a big personality. It's hard for all of them," she said. "They really miss him and they don't know what's going to happen."

There are numerous fundraisers for Logan's care, including the sale of t-shirts and bracelets.

An account at Bank of America was set up to support the Schweiter's and help with the expenses related to Logan's care and challenges that lie ahead. Tax deductible donations (Checks made to Logan Schweiter) can be dropped off at: , 520 W. Lancaster Avenue, Wayne PA 19087.
