Dear Donor,
On behalf of the entire Globe newspaper staff, I extend our gratitude for your generous donation to our publication. Your support is instrumental in our mission to elevate the journalistic landscape of our school community.
Your contribution comes at a pivotal moment for us. While our current distribution of under 400 copies per issue is commendable, we recognize that it only scratches the surface of our school's potential readership. Our objective extends far beyond the mere circulation of paper; it's about creating a well-informed student body and faculty, enriching our educational environment with timely, relevant, and thought-provoking journalism.
With your support, we are setting our sights higher than ever before. Our goal is to provide every student and staff member with their own copy of our publication, ensuring that no voice goes unheard and no story remains untold. However, such a vision can only be realized with the backing of our community, and your generosity brings us one step closer to making it a reality.
Your belief in our mission inspires us to strive for excellence in all that we do. We look forward to continuing this journey together and making a lasting impact on our school community.
Warm regards,
The Globe Staff

![“I felt like African American culture was probably a dominant culture at the time [1990’s], but in terms of education, that would have been the place where it was like, ‘How come we don't talk about this, how come we don't talk about this culture [African American]’. Interestingly enough, I remember my sophomore year in high school taking African history, but we didn't have African American history as an option at my school. That's not the case now, but then it was the case. I was actually thrilled to take African history because I didn't really have a connection, and that kind of fostered a connection to [Africa], like African Americans are connected to Africa.”

![“I would love to do some level of high school mental and sexual health class [and] some psych education. I'm very passionate about adolescent sexual health.”-Aliza Koeinberg, Wellness worker](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_7661-e1758211016669-900x1200.jpeg)
![“I think I care a lot about my classmates and the well being of our whole grade. I just want everyone to have a good, fun high school experience. I've been pouring a lot of time into our class and being class president. So that's a big chunk of time that's been a big change. One thing that I tried to do every day is just be kind. I'll be playing golf in the spring. I'm gonna I'm doing dance marathon, probably best buddies club, chess club. I want my legacy to go down as someone [who] is nice and kind of gets along with everybody.”

![“I remember going around [the pit] and falling in a pile of crap. I fell knee deep, and I stank for like a week or two. There's no shower, no nothing, there's no soap. And I still pushed on, wiping myself off in the snow. You know, trust me, it's not fun. I still bore with it, and I eventually made it to the top of Mount Elbrus. I didn't think that I was actually gonna make the summit, but he helped me push through. And eventually, we made it. I like how he pushes me a lot more than most people's parents. And he also allows me to do a lot more than most people's parents. He gives me a lot of freedom. He also gives me a lot of motivation, and also, tries to push me to what I'm capable of or beyond. He really trusts me a lot.”

![“[The] biggest obstacle right now is getting up early. I'm still getting back into the school mode, and usually I'm the type of person who wakes up a minute before my alarm. But right now, that is definitely not happening.” -Anna Hormberg, History teacher](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image3-2-1200x900.jpg)
![“I love working with students, that's why I decided on being a high school teacher. I was going to go the University route, but it's a different feel[ing]. Working with students is what makes it fun, keeps it alive, keeps me, trying to connect with students about my passion with ancient Rome and Greece and how they overlap, and how the stuff we do in class impacts their lives. That's kind of the goal I have, is having them see themselves, students in this larger scope of history from 2000 years ago, and how you're part of that now. ”

!["It's really hard to make friends in Clayton high school if you're a newcomer. Everybody already knows each other, and they have established friendships for many years. My goal is always to make my space a safe one for them to take risks, [and] relax."

![“Yeah, for anyone who wants to study anything in STEM and they want to do, specifically physics and math, is to spend, like, spend quality time learning the content, there's, there's, I have yet to discover any other method than just putting in the work necessary to learn stuff. There's no roundabout way to circumvent learning of any kind. And I think that's kind of our Justin extra bit, that's our tendency in the 21st Century, is to try and shortcut everything. And I think if you really want to feel prepared, you need to be willing to put in as many hours as necessary to learn the stuff that you're going to learn. But I would also say that it's okay to understand that learning takes time and not getting it right the first time is the normative experience, rather than you get[ting] it the first time, which is an abnormal experience.”

![“I'm a scout, and one of my assistant Scoutmasters is John Harrison. He went to Clayton High School. One of the greatest pieces of advice he gave me is that if it's not hard, it's not worth doing. Now, I apply that when doing anything if it's too easy. I try [to overcome] the difficulty or whatever [I do]. If it's too hard, it's perfect.” - Michael Milchanaski, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Michael-Milchanaski-899x1200.png)
!["I look up to a lot of people, but the number one person I look up to is my mom. She's really strong. When I was younger, I was really bad at most [of] my classes. My mom would step in and try to help me, even though she had a lot of work." - Soluchi Akannam, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/file.jpg)
