Hopewell Elementary School Locks of Love Event 2014
June 24, 2014
On Monday June 16, 2014, 40 parents, faculty members, and students participated in Hopewell Elementary's annual Locks of Love event. The event collected 110 individual ponytails to benefit Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss. All Hopewell Elementary students, grades pre-K to 5th attended a whole school meeting to kick-off the day's festivities and witness the initial big "chop" of all the donors. Hopewell Elementary School's art room was transformed into a salon for the day, where all donors later returned for an appointment with a licensed hair stylist. This memorable and inspiring event would not have been possible without Friends Salon, located at 46 E. Broad St. in Hopewell Borough, graciously volunteering their services for the day and providing FREE basic haircuts to all donors. Special thanks also to Pennington Bagel for generously donating breakfast for our brave participants to enhance the overall event experience. The event hoped to inspire and encourage even the littlest people to make a difference in someone's life and look beyond themselves.
