Weather permitting, field day will be held on Thursday and Friday at the “lower playground” (Charles McDaniel Park). Please see the schedule below. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend and cheer on the students. Early check-out ends at 2:10pm each day; there will be no exceptions on Field Day.

Field Day t-shirts were sent home today with students who ordered and paid for one. We did not order extra shirts. Students who did not order a shirt are encouraged to wear the following colors: French track = blue; Mandarin track = white; Spanish track = yellow. Students may also choose to wear GLOBE Spirit Wear instead.

Thank you in advance to our Field Day volunteers. Please click here to see assignments.

Volunteers may report directly to the lower playground; there is no need to come into the school to sign in.

Caregivers will start the evening with a live webinar with our guest speaker, Dr. Tricia Zucker, author of Strive-For-Five Conversations: A Framework That Gets Kids Talking to Accelerate Their Language Comprehension and Literacy.

While caregivers attend the webinar in the Village Plaza, children will participate in an interactive Read Aloud and activities with a teacher volunteer in classrooms.

After the webinar, caregivers will join their children for food and storytelling fun!

For those caregivers not attending the event, we invite you to join the live session with Dr. Tricia Zucker at 6:15pm via Zoom.

Library

Checkout is officially closed for the school year. Thank you for making this year in the library so much fun! All outstanding library books must be returned by the last day of school, May 29.

If you have any questions, please email Ms. Stowe.

LC Clinic

Bean the Service Dog

As you know, the clinic now has a service dog (Bean) present in the office. Bean has completed four years of training and 1,600 contact hours to become fully certified as a Diabetic Alert Dog. There is a sign outside the clinic that lets students know if Bean is present. Safeguards have been put in place for any student who may have a fear or dislike of dogs. Please feel free to email Kate if you have any questions or concerns. She is happy to answer appropriate questions. This is a valuable learning opportunity on how to interact appropriately with working dogs who may be supporting members of your community.

Medication Pick-up

Please make arrangements to collect any medication on or before the conclusion of this school year. We are unable to store these items over the summer. Any medications not retrieved by the last day of school will be discarded.
