Gulf Breeze Woman Wins Trip to Egypt!
On May 27th Lee Newkirk, of Gulf Breeze, received the news that she had won The Global Corner's drawing for a trip for two to Egypt. "I never win anything!" she noted when told of her good fortune.
We thank Lee, and all the other ticket purchasers, for their support of The Global Corner. We wish Lee happy travels as she heads to the land of the Pharaohs.
This summer we will be updating our website for next year's "Passport to Brazil." We know you will enjoy the changes.
- Lee Little and the rest of The Global Corner Team
Based in Pensacola, Florida, The Global Corner provides age-appropriate activities for elementary school children to help them understand the arts, language, literature, customs, culture and food of other countries. Each school year, we focus on bringing one country to life. In 2009-2010, the focus country is Egypt. Our teachers and volunteers keep the students involved with hands-on activities that are designed not only to help them understand the world around them, but also help them learn and meet Florida's Grade Level Expectations.
Imagine having The Global Corner visit your school and bring up to five exciting activities to your classrooms. Children will participate in each activity and will learn vocabulary words, customs, songs, dances, and much, much more. To find out more information or to apply for a visit from The Global Corner Team, call 850-332-6404. See what teachers are saying about their visits from The Global Corner on the "Teachers' Corner" page.
Our Mission The Global Corner is an international learning center dedicated to teaching the children of Northwest Florida about world cultures. Using age-appropriate activities, we promote understanding and embracing of other cultures and their differences through the arts, language, geography, cultural traditions and the food of other nations. Through this, children will begin to see their place in a more peaceful, global community. A different country is highlighted each year as we "Bring the World to Life – One Child at a Time."
Our Teachers Our teachers for this year's Passport to Egypt are Jodie Miller, Maria Nelson, Tammy Jones, Kim McWherter, and Donna Dancer.
Our Board of Directors Our volunteer Board of Directors includes Donna Dull, Hilda & Ray Jones, Priscilla Leibig, Lee Little, Vanessa Mayes, John Semaan, JoAnn Vanfleteren, and Enid Wilson.
