Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations
Hispanic Heritage Month concluded with performances at both campuses last week. Thank you to the many volunteers who helped make this year’s event such a huge success. All of the students worked very hard and put on a great show for GLOBE families. To view video footage from Lower Campus, click here. For Upper Campus click here. We will feature more images from Hispanic Heritage Month in upcoming newsletters.

GLOBE Trot is off to a flying start
There's less than a month to go until GLOBE Trot 2023. Order your spirit wear by Friday to ensure you receive it in time. You can also volunteer to assist on the day of the event.
Have you received your student’s fundraising page link? If not, you can search for your student’s page here. Don’t forget to share the page link with family, friends and community members to help us reach our goal!
If you have any questions, please contact Adrienne McMillon. An informational flyer that answers many frequently asked questions about GLOBE Trot, can be downloaded here.

We know, of course, that many costumes come with additional items, just please leave them at home. Costumes are optional; students may wear their uniform or spirit wear instead.
