Read Across America Day
Kindergarten to 5th grade students will be celebrating Read Across America Day on March 2 and 3. All students will celebrate on their English day! Students will have the opportunity to choose a book that represents their culture or family history. They can dress up as a person from that book and if possible donate a copy of the book to their classroom library.
We hope to add additional books to the classroom libraries so they can be even more robust and reflective of our diverse community. Reading diverse and inclusive books in the coming weeks might help your student discover a character with whom they identify. You might even find one here on Read Across America's calendar for the year. Looking for even more diverse books? Click here.

Athletics
Check out those trophies!
As a result of all the hard work and success of our amazing young athletes here at GLOBE, we found ourselves with a delightful problem, where to put all the trophies? We are pleased to reveal GLOBE’s new trophy cabinet, which takes pride of place in the lobby, right outside the auditorium at UC. Thank you to our GLOBE families, volunteers and athletes for such a successful winter sports season.
