West High School goes to great lengths for charity

By

More than 25 students and staff members at West High School agreed to donate their hair to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths  initiative, which uses real hair to create wigs for women battling cancer.

The Class of 2016 planned the event and recruited participants who sat in front of the student body to allow their hair to be cut by a friend or family member.

Each donation of hair was required to be at least eight inches -- for some girls, that was an entire pony tail; for others, their hair was so long, they had more inches to spare.

Pantene professionals were on hand to shape and style all of the new short 'dos.


Principal Motika got in on the action as well, letting the senior class president Alea Dolman shave his head. We think he looks great!

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter. Students will follow their regular schedules and be introduced to a different career field with each class change. Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals.
