Free haircuts for youths will be the highlight of back to school activities scheduled for this Saturday, Aug. 26 from noon until 6:00 p.m., at two St. Louis locations.
The rallies are being held at the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club
2901 North Grand Ave., and the Monsanto YMCA , 5555 Page Blvd.
The community rallies are sponsored by Radio One, including radio stations Hot 104.1 and Foxy 95.5, KTVI Fox 2, and the St. Louis Public Schools.
Each location will also have a limited supply of donated back to school supplies and “American Idol” compact disc cases provided by KTVI Fox 2. There will be varying activities at both locations, including free health screenings, free food, and entertainment.
“These community rallies are a great opportunity for St. Louis Public Schools students to prepare for the return to school,” said Dr. Diana Bourisaw, Interim Superintendent. “We are very grateful to our community partners for their tremendous support of our school district,” she said.
Haircuts will also be offered between noon and 6 p.m. at the Belleville Barber College in Belleville, Ill.
