GLOBE teachers and staff attend La Cosecha conference

In November, GLOBE teachers and administrators K–5 attended the La Cosecha Conference in Albuquerque, NM. La Cosecha is the largest dual language conference in the country where educators, parents, researchers, and practitioners come together to support dual language programs across the United States. Just some of the areas covered were academic language development, DLE program development, effective literacy, early childhood / exceptional education, sociocultural responsiveness, indigenous language immersion, dual language immersion programs, and integrating technology and online instruction.

Admissions season is quickly approaching. Tour dates have been posted for the 2024-25 admissions season. GLOBE families, we need you. You are our best advocates to share news about our school with your family, friends and neighbors. The full list of dates and the link for prospective families to register for tours is available on our website. Please spread the word!

Buying Minted holiday cards — use our promo code

Lost and Found: Please label your items!

Parent volunteers return labeled items to the owner's classroom. If your items are not labeled, they may never make it back home. Please take a moment to find a labeling solution that will work for you. Here are some ideas to get you started: Avery No-Iron Kids Clothing Labels, Sharpie Fabric Marker, and Mabel's Labels (customizable labels and stamps, dishwasher and laundry safe. Enter "The GLOBE Academy" in the "support a fundraiser" field, and they'll donate 20% back to GLOBE!).

Volunteer hours can help GLOBE receive grants

Did you know that when you volunteer, it can help GLOBE receive grants? Some donors want to know how involved the community is. We can show them that parents are invested in the school by sharing the volunteer hours we have tracked. So please remember to log your hours here. When you log your time, you'll also be entered in our drawing for a volunteer-of-the-month carpool flag. As a reminder, each family is requested to volunteer ten hours each year. To see current volunteer opportunities, click here. Thank you for volunteering at GLOBE.

Shopping can help GLOBE!

Did you know when you shop at places like Publix, Kroger, and OfficeMax/Office Depot, they will donate to GLOBE PTCC? To find out how to easily set this up, click here. Every penny counts!

Basketball

The boys A team are #1 in the MAAC Conference going into the winter break. They defeated Ridgeview 51–44 in front of a packed gym on Tuesday night. Congratulations to the players and coaches!

Meanwhile, the girls team lost a very close game to Ridgeview 33–30. GLOBE played them last year in the championship, so hopefully we will get to see them again in the playoffs.

Soccer

The soccer team had their end of season banquet on Monday, December 11. Congratulations to the players receiving awards and to the coaches who were presented with a runner up banner that will be displayed alongside our other accolades in the gym. The team finished 2nd out of 10 teams in the MAAC - we are proud of you all! Alex Delgado was also recognized as September's Athlete of the Month for soccer during the banquet.
