Dear GLOBE community,

A reminder that Lower Campus will be closed this Friday, November 4, so that we can make a critical plumbing repair. LC families will receive information from teachers containing their at-home/digital learning instructions for the day. We look forward to seeing LC students back at school on Monday, November 7. Upper Campus will be operating as normal this Friday.

Tuesday, November 8, is Election Day. There is no in-person school, however, it is an independent instructional learning day. Teachers will be sending home assignments to be completed. All students will return to campus in-person on Wednesday, November 9.

I would also like to encourage parents/guardians to subscribe to receive time-sensitive alerts via text messages. If you haven't yet signed up for this, please do so by texting @globers to 81010. For campus specific updates, text @ucgl for Upper Campus, or @lcgl for Lower Campus.

In community,

Christi Elliott-Earby

Executive Director

Thank you to all our donors so far. We have raised over $40K and reached 24% of school participation! We need your help to reach our goal of $140,000. Please keep sharing your child's fundraising page with friends and family.

To track your progress, see how your class is stacking up, and watch the fundraising numbers tick up, click here.

• It’s not too late to sponsor the event. If you or your company would like to sponsor GLOBE Trot, please email Lorena Ferro-Borges.

• To get your GLOBE Trot spirit wear, click here.

For more information, check out the GLOBE Trot pamphlet sent home last week.

On Saturday, October 22, two GLOBE band students participated in the Georgia Music Educators Association Solo and Ensemble Performance Evaluation. Jerome Yang and Anya Mai both performed solos and earned superior ratings for their performances. Congratulations, Jerome and Anya!

Thank you to all of the GLOBE families who donated hundreds of socks, canned goods, toiletries, and other items to Stand Up for Kids. The organizers were so thankful and moved by your generosity, and the counselors are so proud of GLOBE's work. A special shout out to Mdme. Lalonde's 5th grade French class; they were the class with the highest participation and helped collect all of the donations at UC. Thank you GLOBE community for Reaching Out to those in need!

We are excited to partner again with Square 1 Art this fall to provide a way to share your child’s art with family and friends. Ordering is open until November 15.

Square 1 Art is a school fundraiser that allows students to create gifts and keepsakes with their own art on it. A portion of the proceeds return to GLOBE for use in the Art department. Each year, students create art in class and send it to Square 1 Art, so it can be available for printing on gifts for family and friends.

How do I view and purchase items with my child's art?

Printed student catalogs are coming, but you can go online to view and purchase items with your child's art on them.

Questions? Email your student's Art Teacher:

Lower Campus - Ms. Meghan Cottrell

Upper Campus - Ms. Kate Allen

Lower Campus:

Check in with what your children are learning in science

Ask your Kindergarten student to tell you about science tools we can use to help us see.

Ask your 1st grade student to sing the Water Cycle Song or tell you about the water cycle.

Ask your 2nd grade student what effect the fall season has on the weather, or the tree they have been observing at school.

Ask your 3rd grade student to tell you what they know about how molecules move in hot versus cold water. 3rd grade students should also be able to explain the difference between conductors and insulators and list six ways that heat can be created.

Upper Campus:

We hope everyone enjoyed dressing up on October 31. We had a great time at Upper Campus and are please to include a few pictures from Monday.

We’re Collecting Used Uniforms - First Friday of the month

Starting this Friday, November 4, at Upper Campus, we will be collecting used uniforms on the first Friday of the month during morning drop off. Please wash the clothes and put them in a bag. PTCC will have volunteers standing by the drop-off line to receive them.

To keep carpool running smoothly, please have bags ready to hand over as soon as you see us. If your children walk to school (and they can carry the bag safely) or if you walk your kids to the door, we will be there to take those bags too.

Note: Since Lower Campus will be closed this Friday, we will not be able to collect used uniforms at LC. We still plan to be at UC.

Spirit Night at DEFY

Our next Spirit Night will be at DEFY (3200 Northlake Pkwy NE, Atlanta, GA, 30345) on November 10, from 5pm to 7pm. 20% of the net proceeds go to GLOBE. You must bring a printed copy of the flyer with you to earn the credit. Let’s go and jump! GO GLOBE!
