SPIN GIRLS MONTHLY NEWSLETTER | NOVEMBER 2022
IT'S FALL Y'ALL!
The leaves are changing and falling to the ground. The weather is cooling down and SPIN Girls had their first lab day! All of these things confirm that fall is here. We hope that school is also off to a great start for everyone. We hope that new skills and memories are being developed as each day goes by. We are always sending you all positive vibes for your time away from SPIN and we are always here for you if you need us! Please let us know if there's anything SPIN can do to help you with your school based learning experience. We have plenty of resources to share and you will never know exactly what until you ask.
In this month's newsletter, you'll find a summary of lab day, our very first SPIN Girls Friday night hangout, the schedule for lab and field days, the schedule for Friday night hangouts, and some resources to help you out. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

oct. 15, 2022 - 9th grade lab day - Food Science Curriculum
Oct. 28, 2022 - SPIN Girls Monthly Hangout Theme - Spooky Movie Night
MONTHLY RECAP
On October 15th we held our first SPIN Girls lab day for the 22-23 program year. We started our curriculum journey by learning about biomimicry, food science and aspects of environmental science. There is so much to learn and we can't wait to see what each lab and field day hold for our students. Lab days will be held at our new office location at the Renton Technical College ANNEX Building. This building is off the main RTC campus but holds all the security and function of the main campus buildings. We think we are all going to love using this space for programs, activities, makers space, hangouts, meetings and more!
SPIN Girls also had our first monthly themed Friday night hangout. This months theme was spooky movie night. SPIN Girls had fun playing games, watching a movie of choice and having tons of treats. Novembers theme will be paint night. We will make art on our own canvases and work together to paint some art for the new office space. Come hangout with us!
RESOURCES
At SPIN we are always thinking of ways that we can help students have successful school years. We have opportunities for SPIN student participants to get assistance and resources in a multitude of ways. We have ways in which students can complete their volunteer and civic duty hours by volunteering with one of our programs or organization. We have resources for students to complete special projects. And we may even be able to utilize the expertise of one of our many mentors. All you need to do is reach out to your programs manager or one of our program managers and we are happy to assist.
Here is an interest form for a way SPIN Girls can volunteer with our
SPIN Girls Club 6th & 7th graders at one of their after school programs HERE!
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.
