On Thursday last week, students had a great time trying out their basketball skills when the Hoopbus pulled up to GLOBE as part of their Back to School program. Thank you to the Athletic Club committee for organizing this fun event.

Saturday afternoon saw the return of International Festival to Charles McDaniel Park where visitors got to experience different cultures, taste food from around the globe with the potluck dishes, watch numerous performances, and play games. A big thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who helped to make it such an enjoyable event. It was great to see so many GLOBE families on such a beautiful day at the park. A special thank you to Anya Parkes and GLOBE PTTC for sponsoring the event.

The UC book fair continues through this week. Located in the foyer area between the cafeteria and auditorium, you can choose to shop early in the morning, before school starts, from 7:30am to 7:55am, or after school from 3:15pm to 5:15pm. Click here for details.

Lower Campus

Today, students from 2nd grade French did a wonderful job reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Click here to watch the video clip. The next Community Circle will also take place this Friday.

Last week, players and cheerleaders from Lakeside High Football Team visited LC to kick off their Homecoming. One of the teammates is a GLOBE Alumni, Zakariya Farih, 10th grade, French Language Track. He can be seen reading to Madam Hibbo's Kindergarten class.

Upper Campus

This year's trip to Rock Eagle was outstanding. The students represented GLOBE beautifully, everyone had a great time and the weather was perfect. Thank you to our GLOBE families for your help in making the trip go smoothly. We would also like to thank our wonderful staff for their hard work and for making the trip so joyful and memorable.

Important safety notice for UC families

Please do not use Sunset Dr. near Upper Campus to pick up your 'walker' student(s). It is creating a huge safety issue with cars turning in and out of that street. The neighborhood is extremely unhappy with the current situation and we must work together to ensure drop off and pick up goes safely and smoothly at UC. Please use a different location and be considerate of our neighbors. We highly recommend using the UC carpool.

A reminder that only those students who are enrolled in GLOBE's Before Care Program will be allowed to enter the school building before 7:30am (when drop-off begins). Please visit the school website for further information.

To view and order, visit the Jostens website, here. Please note that you will require your Infinite Campus Unique Student ID to locate your child's photo. If you do not know your ID, please wait for an email that will be sent later this week that will have a direct link to your photo(s).
