My Project

Girls Helping Girls is a safe place for girls to get their hair done before school in the morning. The reason for this is for the girl's that come to the school with their hair matted or poorly done because they don't have the support at home for someone to do their hair or at least for them to learn how to do their own hair. We believe that having these supplies such as combs, brushes, and storage, and doing this service for other students will help them academically because when you look good you feel good! We believe that the same confidence they gain will seep into their academic success.

Thank you for helping us support our girls!

Mrs. Hemmig
Grades 3-5
