February 21 was Charter School Day at Georgia State Capitol. Representatives from The GLOBE Academy, Christi Elliott-Earby (Executive Director), Clarence Brantley (8th grade Social Studies teacher), Daphna Malka (GLOBE parent and part-time French teacher), and Adaya Malka (8th grade student), were recognized in the Senate and the House. They were able to speak with Scott Holcomb, a member of the Georgia House of Representatives for the 81st district in which The GLOBE Academy resides, and request his support for charter school legislation. The event was sponsored by Georgia Charter Schools Association (GCSA).

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us at New Black Wall Street in Stonecrest on Sunday afternoon. Attendees took a tour where they learned about the story of the original Black Wall Street in Tulsa. They also enjoyed visiting the many shops and restaurants on site.

Black History Month celebration tomorrow, 1:30pm at UC

Join us tomorrow for our Black History Month celebration in the UC auditorium at 1:30pm. We would like to thank the BHM committee and all the staff and volunteers who have worked so hard to bring the event together.

Visitors to Upper Campus - important instructions

The Front Office gate is the only permitted way to enter or exit our Upper Campus building for visitors, except for athletic events taking place in the gym (after school hours). No other entrance or exit points are to be used, including the big red doors to the auditorium and cafeteria. It is imperative that we monitor all persons entering and exiting the building for safety and security. We thank you for your understanding.

Students may also choose to bring or donate a book about a child with exceptionalities. Find sixty-plus books here. We hope to add to current classroom libraries so they can be even more robust and reflective of our diverse community. Reading diverse and inclusive books in the months to come might help your student find a book that has people with whom they identify. You might even find one here.

Author Brendan Wenzel to visit on Thursday, April 25

Author/illustrator Brendan Wenzel will be visiting Lower Campus on Thursday, April 25 to talk with our kindergarten and first grade students about his new book, Two Together. If you would like to order a signed copy of Brendan’s books, They All Saw a Cat, Inside Cat, or Two Together, please complete this order form.

The 5th–8th grade GLOBE chorus students dressed up and welcomed Black History Month with the world renowned Morehouse College Glee Club. The students enjoyed a performance that took them on a journey through the evolution of African American music.

All families are invited to support the chorus on March 20 at our adjudication, LGPE (Large Group Performance Evaluation). We will have a ten minute performance at 9am sharp at the First Baptist Church of Decatur. Your presence will mean a lot to the students.

The breakfast and lunch menus for March are now available. Click here to view.

Exceptional Children’s Week - March 4–7

PTCC is happy to partner with GLOBE to celebrate Exceptional Children’s Week. The theme for this year is “CREST Embraces Everyone.” Here are a few initiatives we hope your family will consider supporting:

• PTCC donated books highlighting people with exceptionalities to all English classrooms. Watch for opportunities to participate in mystery reader activities in your child’s classroom.

• Create a poster with your student(s) celebrating a person with exceptionalities by March 4th. Once you complete it and send it to the school, it will be displayed in a classroom or hallway. Projects will be accepted any day during Exceptional Children's Week; simply send them to school with your child.

PTCC is also helping to coordinate and sponsor staff Professional Development, which will focus on best practices to support children with exceptionalities. Download the flyer here.

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!
