RECAP OF LAST MONTH
The first week of December brought us snowy weather and a lab day for SPIN Girls. Our 8th graders continued their curriculum journey into biomimicry with their cohort lead Parman Kaur. Our 9th graders welcomed their new cohort lead Jimena Prado and explored more aspects of their food science curriculum. The 10th graders continue to use their skills to debunk climate change myths with their cohort lead Amber Inwood. We love watching all of our SPIN Girls build their knowledge during lab days.
SPIN also had an amazing office warming party. There was music, food, crafts and lots of good vibes flowing throughout our new office space. Thank you to everyone that attended. We are always accepting donations to support the awesome work of SPIN. You can do so any time.
LOOKING FORWARD

RESOURCES
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.
