Connections - Music

On Friday, September 20, GLOBE's 8th-grade band students took part in Lakeside High School Marching Band’s 8th-grade Night. It was an awesome opportunity for GLOBE students to get a taste of what high school marching band is like. They rehearsed with the high school students at Lakeside, rode the bus to the stadium, and played with the high school students in the stands during the game between Lakeside and Druid Hills High School.

Thank you to our August Volunteers of the Month Keyana and Cody McGlathery and Sade Boyd-Johnson. We hope you enjoyed using the Volunteer of the Month carpool flag!
