The students of Bishop Alemany High School held a pony tail drive on November 24th, 2008. The event was organized by student, Veronica de la Cerda, and teacher, Julie Schadek.<br><br>We were able to get 62 girls, 1 boy, 1 coach, and 1 teacher to donate 64 total pony tails. The pony tails totaled more than 700 inches of hair. If the pony tail was longer than 10 inches, it was donated to Locks of Love. If it was between 8 and 10 inches it was donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.<br><br>We had 8 volunteer stylists from local salons come to cut hair. Each student was called to our Alumni Hall for their appointment. Once they arrived they met with a stylist and discussed how much hair they wanted to cut. Their hair was pulled into a ponytail and cut. They stylist then gave the student a hair cut that they could proudly wear back to class.<br><br>There was such a "buzz" around the school on the day of the event. Many students are talking about next year and have already committed to growing out their hair. Next year's event will be scheduled shortly after the Homecoming dance in the fall.<br>Thanks to all the volunteer stylists and thanks to all the students who cut their hair for this great cause!
