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 am passionate about] running and being part of a new community. Running is hard, but there’s so many things you can do to make it a lot more enjoyable. Everyone [on the team] is really nice and supportive. If you are feeling down they always lift you up and you can talk to them about anything. I always look forward to the end of the day and it gives me something fun to do with my people. My dad always tells me how pain is always temporary, and I always remember that while I'm running. [I apply this] not only to running, but also if I’m sad, it's not going to last forever and I'll get through it. I feel like I’m really dedicated to the things I do, and I feel good about where I’m at with extracurriculars. Mr. Holmes always tells me to make sure I’m managing my time well, and I feel like that is something I need to work on.”

![“I've been spending a lot of time with [Nick’s] family. It's good to not act like it didn't happen [and] to talk about it. I talk about him a lot with my friends, his family, and my family sometimes. It makes it a lot easier because when you feel like you can discuss it without it being weird, rather than focus on it through a sad lens, which, of course, is important. You can also focus on how amazing it is that this incredible person was able to lead an incredible life.”

!["The best piece of advice I have been given is to never give up. If you have your heart set on something, don't let anyone tell you not to follow it. Taste your dreams. During my tennis career, there's been moments that I've wanted to give up on matches if I'm down 1-5 and I persevere. I win the set somehow. [It] shows you never give up, even if people tell you that you're gonna lose."

![“[For dealing with academic stress,] I think just I figured [it] out myself, because I feel like everyone has a different way of dealing with their stress, so this is just the way that worked for me.” -June Wiens, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image2-2-1200x900.jpg)
![“[One thing that helped me stay grounded whilst moving from Colorado to Missouri] was the people around me, [especially] my family. I have two dogs, Zara and Maisie. Zara is a Border Collie, Australian Shepherd mix and Maisie is an Australian Shepherd puppy. My dogs really [helped me], because whenever I felt sad, I'd just go play with them and they'd make me [instantly] feel better. I started taking them on walks [which helped clear my head]. I still continue to do that [which continues to] brighten my day.” - Julia Wood, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_2899-e1757531364258-1200x900.jpg)
!["[Practicing is the best thing you can do.] Right now I'm trying out for the mock trial team. Last year, I practiced my mock trial skills, and now I'm gonna be able to use them because I practiced them. [It also helps because] I play violin. [This applies to] Everywhere. Music, school, everything." -Emilio Lowder, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot-2025-10-07-10.29.23-AM.png)
![“Sometimes when I didn't perform up to my own personal standards [at volleyball], I would be really, really hard on myself, which was difficult. Something that [helped me get out of this negative mindset was that] I remembered bad days come so that you can have your good days. I always think of it as you have to get the bad stuff out of your system so your great days can come. I used this advice a lot to help me refocus myself and get my mood up.” - Claire Booth, 9](https://www.chsglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_2915.jpg)
![“I'm kind of afraid of failing things, especially because I'm really competitive with my little brother. If I start doing badly, he's gonna really take advantage of that. Like in the Star War[s] card game, I used to beat him easily, but now he is a lot better than me. He is really taking advantage of that.”
