West Elementary Children Get Haircuts from Cosmetology Students
It was haircut day for some students at Erie 1 BOCES West Seneca West Elementary School Tuesday, Dec. 17!
A number of boys and girls got their hair trimmed and shaved by Jennifer Showalter’s Cosmetology students from the Harkness Career & Technical Center in Cheektowaga. The event served as a cross-divisional partnership between Exceptional Education and Career & Technical Education.
“We are excited about our collaboration with CTE and we’re very happy that our students were able to get haircuts before the holidays,” Erie 1 BOCES West Elementary Principal Michelle Mailhot noted. “This partnership benefits both the students getting haircuts, as well as the Cosmetology students, who are getting good experience cutting hair.”
Around 10 students were given haircuts, showing them off proudly to their teachers, who stood by watching the process unfold and giving words of encouragement.
