Paul Mitchell Cosmetology Schools Send Kids Back To School In Style
According to the National Retail Federation, the average family spends nearly $400
on back-to-school items, including $200 on clothing and accessories, nearly $100 on shoes, and about $80 on school supplies. Faced with this years confusing economy, many families struggled to afford the bare essentials. For them, haircuts werent even on the listuntil Paul Mitchell Schools came along! Future Professionals from the nationwide network donated their time and talents at back-to-school events across the country. Here are just a few of the many events they attended:
* At Back to School: New Year, New You, Design Team members from the Carolina Academy A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Gastonia, North Carolina, partnered with the public library to give appearance, fitness, dress, and hair care tips to local teenage girls.
* Bella Beauty Academy A Paul Mitchell Partner School in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, gave 100 haircuts to disadvantaged children at the Salvation Armys Back to School Bash.

Children from low-income families received school supplies, free dental exams, and 180 haircuts. Attracted by the Future Professionals enthusiasm, Chicago Bears players and Coach Lovie Smith visited their booth to meet the team and offer their personal thanks.
Several Paul Mitchell Schools took part in the annual Fred Jordan Missions Back to School New Clothing Giveaway. Over 5,000 impoverished inner city children in the Los Angeles area received new clothing, shoes, hygiene kits, and Paul Mitchell shampoo. Future Professionals from Paul Mitchell The School Costa Mesa, Paul Mitchell The School Sherman Oaks, and Cao Institute of Aesthetics A Paul Mitchell Partner School gave hundreds of haircuts and goody bags.
With the economic chaos in our nation, the families here in the inner city have been hit very hard, said Fred Jordan Missions President Willie Jordan. Thousands of little children struggle daily with the humbling consequences of poverty: they go to school hungry, wearing little more than rags. They suffer ridicule by their classmates and they are often embarrassed, causing them difficulty in their studies. However, thanks to [your] generous efforts, the Paul Mitchell tent was once again a happy place for the children.
