Dear friends,

Summer is almost here! We at Girlstart are spending time preparing our STEM Center for the best summer yet. This summer 550 girls will experience our unique Summer Camp--and we hope your daughters and their friends will be among them! As we do each summer, we will change lives and futures through STEM fun!

While we are excited about the summer, we are still excited about the work that girls in our Girlstart After School programs were able to accomplish this year! Showcases of our spring work in earth science are taking place now, and blogposts are also visible on our Girlstart website.  We have newsletters for each district as well--come and share in the fabulous work Girlstart girls did this year! Thanks to you, Girlstart After School is the largest program of its kind in the nation. And, this year, we expanded Girlstart After School to reach girls as young as 3rd grade (Mitchell Elementary, in Georgetown), and we also reached girls outside the Austin area (Connally ISD, in Waco).

We are still having fun with our #sendagirltocamp campaign. You can help send a girl to Girlstart Summer Camp! Because we've expanded the number of camps we offer to provide more girls with more STEM fun, we want to make more scholarships possible, as well. Many girls would like to attend Summer Camp and don't have the resources; we're raising awareness and support to provide scholarships to send more girls to camp. There are three ways that YOU can help change a girl's life by giving her the gift of Girlstart Summer Camp: you can give, advocate, or share. Everybody can make a difference and spread the word! #sendagirltocamp this year!

Thank you for all you do to help Girlstart go! For more details on our progress, activities, and some of our recent accomplishments, please keep tuned to our blogs and website.

Thanks,

Tamara
