Hello GLOBE community,

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break. As we head into the holiday season, I would like to thank all of our staff and the many volunteers for making this year's GLOBE Trot event such a huge success. Everyone had a great time, a selection of images from the event can be viewed here.

GLOBE truly appreciates all the time and effort that our volunteers donate to help things run smoothly in and around our school campuses and at our events. Thank you for all that you do! If you are interested in getting involved, please click here to check out upcoming volunteering opportunities.

7th and 8th grade Winter Concert, December 1, 6:30pm, at UC Auditorium

The 7th and 8th grade band students will be presenting their winter concert in the GLOBE Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. Please come and show your support!

Morning Arrival

As the weather is getting colder and students arrive with more garments, please make sure they are ready to exit the vehicle as soon as it comes to a stop along the curb in the main parking lot. Thank you for your continued support as we strive to maintain a safe and efficient carpool operation.

Hearing and Vision Screening

During the course of the next few weeks, Dr Reese (our school nurse) will be performing hearing and vision screenings on all 3rd grade students, as required by DeKalb County. There is no need to send in a note of consent. If your child does not pass the screening, you will be notified.

Expensive electronics and other items brought into school

We ask that your student(s) do not bring expensive electronics, toys or any other unnecessary (and valuable) items to school. They have a tendency to either get misplaced or damaged.

Please encourage your child to be respectful of their fellow students and their property. Remember CREST. The GLOBE Academy is not responsible for any loss or damage of personal items brought onto school premises.

Connections at UC

The pictures below show Mr Brantley's 4th grade social studies connections class learning how to use atlas, as they study the causes of the American Revolution, and also a picture from Kate Allen's visual arts connections class, as students began applying base coat colors to their mixed media anthropomorphic sculptures!

Caia Lauterbach is a scout working on her 'Citizenship in the Community' merit badge. She is working to collect 200 boxes of new crayons (8–24 count) to donate to hospitalized children. You can help Caia meet her goal by bringing in new boxes of crayons. She will be outside at the morning carpool line at UC with a crayon collection box, next week, from December 6–9 (Tuesday to Friday). We really appreciate your support!

The fall enrichment program is ending this week. Spanish Soccer, French Soccer, and both sewing classes have a make up class this week. Our dance class will continue until December 15. Our spring enrichment class registration will be open on December 5. Please see the website for the schedule of classes that are being offered.
