There will be a school board meeting Monday at 7 o’clock to decide if junior Jim Stack can break school dress code to grow and eventually donate his hair to Lock of Love.

  “The best way I could help would be to grow my hair long and donate it to the group as a wig.” the president of Locks of Love, Gisel Roco said.

  Given his advice from Roco, Stack decided to grow his hair to 10 inches, which would exceed the school dress limit of hair being shorter than the collar for boys.

  “I was disappointed when Mrs. King turned my request down.” Stack said.

  Locks of Love receive 200 requests per month, but have to turn down 150.

“I won’t be hurting anyone when my hair gets longer, I even agreed to tuck it into my shirt so it won’t be that noticeable.” Stack said.

  The student council wrote a letter in favor of Stacks goal, saying that 150 more students would join Stacks cause, 78 signees males.

  “After I reach my goal of 10 inches, I hope I can inspire more people in the town to grow their hair and donate it.”

  Stacks sister recieved a wig from Locks of Love when she lost her hair to chemotherapy treatments.

“I know about Jim’s sister and am glad she’s doing well, but I can’t bend the rules for one student.” King said.
