“Each year parents are hit with many back to school expenses such as school supplies, clothing, and activity fees”, said Councilman Dee Andrews. “This is an excellent opportunity for families to save money while preparing their children to return to school.”

“Students want to start the new school year looking their best and we want to do our part to encourage our youth with added confidence,” stated Mike Baker, owner of Baker’s Style Center, “We are not just giving back to the parents in our community but helping area youth go back to school feeling more confident with a new haircut.”
