My Project

In our 8th Grade Career and Technology class, we are dedicated to preparing our students for success in various vocational fields. One essential skill we focus on is barbering and hair grooming. To provide hands-on learning experiences, we are in need of hair grooming resources, particularly clippers, to enhance our classroom activities.

With your generous support, we aim to acquire a set of professional-grade clippers that will allow our students to practice and develop their skills in hair cutting, styling, and grooming.

These resources will be used in interactive demonstrations, practical exercises, and simulated salon settings, empowering our students to explore and excel in the field of barbering.
