Yesterday, students at both campuses lined the hallways to welcome back former GLOBE students and celebrate their graduation from high school!

As part of GLOBE's charter, we are required to report parents' overall satisfaction with their children's education each year. An email was sent to GLOBE families on Friday, May 10. If you did not receive the email, please click here. The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete.

On Friday, May 10, The GLOBE Academy received a visit from Mr Mohamed Bouabdallah, the new Cultural Counselor of France in the US and Director of Villa Albertine (the Cultural Institution of the French Embassy in the US). Our school has received the Label FrancÉducation, a recognition by the French Ministry of Education for excellence in French DLI instruction and programming, a prestigious recognition we have held since 2019.

Mr. Bouabdallah spent time at Upper Campus finding out about our language program and to check out the wonderful work our students are doing in their classrooms. Mr Bouabdallah has held significant roles advocating for French culture on the global stage. Prior to his appointment as Cultural Counselor of France in the United States, he served as Cultural Counselor of France in Cairo and Director of the French Institute in Egypt (2016-2019), and Head of the Political Affairs Department at the United Nations Directorate of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, in charge of the Security Council (2019-2023).

Last week was Staff Appreciation Week. The PTCC planned five days of treats for GLOBE's incredible staff, who also received expressions of thanks from students. To any staff reading this, thank you so much for all you do for our students and our community. We are so lucky!

Field Days

4th and 5th grade students had fun participating in the UC Field Day on Monday. Unfortunately Tuesday’s field day had to be canceled due to the poor weather. Thank you to the volunteers, staff, and PTCC for your support. Look out for some photos from the event in next week's newsletter.

Lost and Found

Please remind your students to check for lost items as we get closer to the end of the school year.

UC Clinic Medication collection deadline

All medications (prescription or as needed) must be collected by May 21.

Middle School Art

Students should bring a large bag (like a reusable cloth grocery bag) to collect their sketchbooks, personal art supplies, and art work. Thank you.

Chorus

The GLOBE Academy Chorus attended the 2024 Music in the Parks Competition. They brought home two wins. 1st place in Division A Middle School, and Overall Middle School Choir!

Orchestra Spring Concert

The Orchestra Spring Concert takes place tomorrow, Thursday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to the UC Auditorium to watch the performance.

Yearbooks will be distributed to homerooms on Monday

The pickup protocol for these books is as follows:

• All Upper Campus orders received by May 16 will be distributed to homerooms on May 20.

• Upper Campus orders received after May 16 will be available for pickup at the front office at UC beginning on May 20.

• All Lower Campus orders received after May 8 will be available for pickup at the front office at UC beginning on May 20. They will not be available at Lower Campus.

If you did not pre-order and would still like to purchase a yearbook, you can still purchase one online via Jostens. Unfortunately, yearbooks cannot be purchased at the front desk (with cash or card), they must be purchased online via Jostens, and then collected at the UC front desk.

Do you have old yearbooks you are willing to donate?

We would like to maintain a collection of past yearbooks in the LC and future UC libraries, but we are missing quite a few. If you are willing to part with your old GLOBE yearbook, we will gladly add it to our collection AND label it with your name.

The breakfast and lunch menus for May can be found on the website, here.

For further information about school meals, MyPaymentPlus, nutrition, and the USDA, visit GLOBE’s website at theglobeacademy.org/School-Lunch. If you have any questions or need help, please contact Briana Caddell.

Last Day of School: PTCC Spirit Night at Stars & Strikes

Come celebrate the end of the school year with us at a GLOBE Spirit Night! Join us on Wednesday, May 22, from noon until close (midnight) at Stars and Strikes (1741 Mountain Industrial Blvd).

School will be a half day (early release), so you can head to Stars & Strikes right after school or later in the evening to celebrate with other GLOBE families. Fifteen percent of sales will go back to PTCC. After paying, please give your receipt to the PTCC volunteer at the venue to be included in the total for the night. Download the flyer here.

Lost and Found: End of Year Donation

Volunteer hours can help GLOBE receive grants

Did you know that when you volunteer, it can help GLOBE receive grants? Some donors want to know how involved the community is. We can show them that parents are invested in the school by sharing the volunteer hours we have tracked. So please remember to log your hours here. When you log your time, you'll also be entered in our drawing for a volunteer-of-the-month carpool flag. As a reminder, each family is requested to volunteer ten hours each year. To see current volunteer opportunities, click here. Thank you for volunteering at GLOBE.

Shopping can help GLOBE!

Did you know when you shop at places like Publix, Kroger, and OfficeMax/Office Depot, they will donate to GLOBE PTCC? To find out how to easily set this up, click here. Every penny counts!
