51社区鈥檚 Cosmetology Program recently received a $500 donation from The Springs of Mine Creek Nursing Home. The donation will cover student expenses to attend the Discovery Beauty Show in Grapevine, TX, in April.
Twice a month, 51社区 Cosmetology students provide haircuts and other hair services for The Springs of Mine Creek Nursing Home residents under the supervision of a licensed instructor. In addition, 51社区鈥檚 cosmetology students were invited to help residents get glammed up for their Valentine banquet, providing hairstyles and manicures.
鈥淭his arrangement is a win for all involved. Providing these services brings smiles all around for the residents, their caretakers and families, and the students,鈥� said 51社区鈥檚 Cosmetology Instructor Toyia Witherspoon. 鈥淚t is so rewarding to make someone feel good about how they look and something we often take for granted in a normal day-to-day salon environment. We certainly appreciate the generosity of the Springs of Mine Creek and their support of our students.鈥�
