GAINS
What is GAINS?

GAINS stands for Girls Achieving in Non-Traditional Subjects.  GAINS runs from 6th grade through 12th grade in most secondary SCUSD schools. 

The program's main goal is to encourage girls interest in math and science careers, as well as to introduce them to careers that they might not normally consider.  

GAINS will meet monthly at a time to be determined. During these meetings, girls have the opportunity to hear a female speaker from the community talk about the career path she took to get to where she is today.  They will learn about the many different careers available out in the world, as well as educational opportunity.  

Attendance is required at scheduled events!!  If students cannot attend an event, they need to inform Mrs. Winslow at swinslow@scusd.net or Mrs. Kodi at akodi@scusd.net.

GAINS stresses personal responsibility.

TO OUR BUCHSER COMMUNITY:  We are always looking for new and exciting speakers to come and visit our GAINS girls.  If you know of any influential women in the workforce, please contact Mrs. Winslow or Mrs. Kodi.
