Sophomore students at E.C. Goodwin recently spent a day “doing up” 26 donated wigs for the New England Division of the American Cancer Society.  The wigs, in a variety of colors and lengths, were reborn under the direction of Mrs. Macri’s Hairdressing and Barbering class.  The group of 15 students learned about the importance of giving back and community service while using their newly developed skills.  These wigs will eventually be worn by survivors undergoing treatment for various cancers. 

When asked how it felt to be working on this project, Nicole Wisniewski said, “I feel very proud to be working on these wigs because the cancer patients need these wigs and I know my talents are really appreciated.”  Another student in Mrs. Macri’s class, Shanice Prevo said, “I now realize that it is better to give than to receive.  My aunt never had this opportunity to get a wig when she was undergoing cancer treatment.”  Both of these young ladies agreed that it was important to give back to the community and that this lesson was one of the most important learned thus far at E.C. Goodwin Technical High School.
