As a reminder, this is an excerpt from the letter that was posted prior to Spring Break:
"We have been asked to participate in a fund raising effort along with Blessed Sacrament School for Jazmyn Adkins in memory of Kayla Layton. Students who choose to purchase a $15.00 purple hair extension from Bellezza Salon may wear it during the break and on MONDAY, APRIL 4th ONLY. That day will be a casual day for all, with purple being the suggested color to wear. Students may choose to send in a donation for that casual day, and we will be sure that all money collected will be sent to Jazmyn’s cause."
Many thanks to those who sent in donations. Over $600.00 has been collected so far! PLEASE REMEMBER that purple hair extensions MUST BE REMOVED prior to coming to school tomorrow. Please call Lisa Wells at 334-3686 if you need instructions in removing the hair extension.
