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.”

![“[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.”
