Dear Globe Families/Community,
05/15/2024
Thank you all for a great school year. We are in our final two weeks of this school year and I do not know how we are already at the end. We are a mere 9 days from graduation and the last day of school. It seems like parenting and school years are similar; the days can feel long but the years go quickly. The month of May has been full of so many good things…activities, awards, programs, banquets and, of course, final exams.
Last night, graduating seniors from Globe High School were awarded approximately $865,000 in scholarships to attend post-secondary education of their choice. We have students going to universities, colleges, trade schools and directly in to the work force. I am so proud of our students and know that they will make a positive impact on our community and world as they graduate and become GHS alumni.
As the school year comes to a close, I would like to personally invite you all to attend a few events that will take place between now and May 24th.
Spanish Immersion Cultural Program - Wednesday, May 15, 2024 @ 5:00 p.m. in the Copper Rim Cafeteria/Gymnasium. Did you know we have a Spanish Immersion program at Copper Rim? The program is in its second year and teaches students the Spanish language through immersion and exposure to Spanish culture. We anticipate students will be fluent in Spanish by 6th grade if they complete the program. This program will highlight what students have learned in the Spanish Immersion program through speech, dance and song. You can also learn more about the program (especially if you have a student in grades 1-3).
District-Wide Band Concert – Thursday, May 16, 2024 @ 6:00 p.m. in the High Desert Auditorium. Come and watch students in grades 5-12 play songs that they have learned in Band this year. Our band has been growing and is sure to impress!
5th grade promotion ceremony – Wednesday, May 22, 2024 @ 5:00 p.m. at Harbison field
8th grade promotion ceremony – Wednesday, May 22, 2024 @ 6:30 p.m. at Harbison field
Kindergarten promotion ceremonies – Thursday, May 23, 2024 @ 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. @ Copper Rim Gym
GHS Graduation – Thursday, May 23, 2024 @ 7:30 p.m. at Harbison field
Please watch for more school specific information about end of the year activities that will come directly from your principals and teachers.
I also wanted to share that we have a new GUSD food truck called the Tigers Den! We are excited to bring back the name of the historic Tigers Den with a new and improved food truck design. This food truck will be operated by our cafeteria staff and will be seen at some of our end of the year events. Our district was able to secure grants to pay for the food truck ensuring that our district funds were not used on this. Special thanks to Craig Hagen, Food Services Supervisor, for all of the work to get the grants and the food truck. I can’t wait to order something yummy from it next year! In fact, students will be able to get a FREE lunch from it next year when it is running in the high school parking lot.
I look forward to seeing you all at our various end of the year events. Thank you for trusting us to educate your child.
Go Tigers!
Dr. DalMolin East, Superintendent
