Science Fair a huge success!
Thank you to all of the 5th through 8th grade students for their hard work and participation in last week’s Science Fair. The energy at the fair was full of excitement and we were extremely impressed with the caliber of the students' work and the passion shown as they pursued their topics of interest. Check out episode 5 of Finding Ollie from 3:35 to 5:07 for a little insight. The top four projects in 5th grade, and the top five projects in middle-school will be moving on to the DeKalb County Fair in February, where GLOBE will certainly be very well represented. We will be following up with the families of successful students regarding the next steps.
Grab some extra study time with The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club is happening every morning in the UC cafeteria, from 7:30 am to 8:00 am. Your child(ren) are welcome to spend time here before school starts at 8:00 am to study, or to catch up with work. Ms. Marin and Ms. Catinella are also willing to help students who may be struggling to stay organized and manage their time effectively. Please note, this will not be a time for them to socialize with friends. If students are not working, they will be sent to their homeroom to prepare for the school day.
Teachers receive CREST awards for Community
Ms. Sobeyda Spivey and Ms. Elsa Barré both received CREST awards for Community at a recent staff meeting. Ms. Spivey for going above and beyond in helping the PTCC to organize their activities, and Ms. Barre for her support of students by differentiating lessons.
