(Locks of Love 20th Anniversary at Stuart Country Day School)

On Monday, February 10, Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in Princeton, celebrated the 20th anniversary of their Locks of Love hair cutting event with 16 members of the Stuart community donating their hair to children in need. The stylists at Metropolis Spa & Salon in Princeton also donated their time and talent for this worthy cause. This tradition was inspired by Alexa Rangecroft, who was in kindergarten at Stuart at the time. Alexa and her mother, former Stuart staff member Shannon Rangecroft, wanted to honor its longevity and special meaning to the community by organizing the 2020 event. Stuart's mission is to educate girls to lives of exceptional leadership and service guided by the Sacred Heart Goals and Criteria, which includes Goal 3 - a social awareness which impels to action. This event is one of many at Stuart that involves the entire JK-12 community to make a difference in the lives of others. Click here to learn more and see photos from the event.
