MONTHLY RECAP
September was welcome back month for not only school but to SPIN! We had a great in person open house style welcome back gathering with students, families and mentors on September 24th. At this gathering everyone that attended was able to meet each other. Receive an overview of SPIN Girls, get information about the upcoming year such as lab day location, curriculum and new mentorship activities. If you were not able to join please reach out to Keshia Porcincula SPIN Girls program manager to receive information or so that she can answer any questions you may have about the 22-23 SPIN Girls program year.
Continued update is that we also grew in programs and staffing over the summer! Please take a look at our website and our social media pages to get a glimpse at the amazing staffing additions and programs. We are so excited to share all of this with you and begin a fabulous year of learning.
RESOURCES
We love our public library systems. They offer so many different programs and resources for not only students but the community. Check out what Seattle Public Library and King County Public Library System has to offer.
SPIN Girls students attend multiple school districts throughout King County. We value our SPIN families and know that it takes a tremendous amount of resources to nurture a student and family to success. We want to remind everyone that there are always resources available to your families to ensure that they can reach their full potential, in whatever way they may need extra support. Below you will find direct links to each King County School Districts student, family and community resources page. We have also included links to WA public charter schools and WA homeschool organization. Our hope is that you use these links to inform yourselves of resources available to increase the success of your family at the beginning of the school year. We also want you to use these links throughout the year as more details or changes may become available on the district pages.
