On February 26, 2025, hundreds of people gathered at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta for Charter Schools Day. The day was marked by advocacy for more charter schools and better access to public schools. The GLOBE Academy was represented by 8th grade teacher Clarence Brantley, 8th grade student Joshua Benjamin and GLOBE's Executive Director, Christi Elliott-Earby.

Yesterday, GLOBE sent out an email update on the progress of our new campus for grades K through 5. You can view the email here. Thank you to everyone who has sent in questions. Going forward, we will dedicate a spot in this weekly newsletter to answer incoming questions. Please continue to submit questions here.

Help our 8th grade students raise money for their trip to Savannah by bringing $1 to dress down (out of uniform) each Thursday from March 6 to April 3. Please adhere to DeKalb County dress code rules. Parent volunteers will be collecting money at the school entrances of both campuses. Please make every effort to bring the exact change.

Important notes: Due to a field trip on March 6, 3rd grade students must come to school in uniform or spirit wear/jeans. Also, on March 20, French students will need to wear the recommended attire for the Francophonie celebration.
