ST. CLAIR SHORES — After months and, in some cases, years of growing it out, a dozen local students took the plunge and gave up their locks for children in need.

This is the third time that Rodgers Elementary has sponsored a cut-a-thon from Wigs 4 Kids at the school, and 12 students and one teacher had at least 10 inches cut June 3.
Seven-year-old first-grader Reece Heier said she was looking forward to having the haircut “because it’s going to be really hot this summer.”
And 9-year-old fourth-grader Anna Finazzo, one of three sisters to have her hair cut, said it was learning more about recipients that made her eager to help.
“Because of the kids that lost their hair, I’m going to donate my hair to them,” she said while her long locks were still attached to her head.
Ten-year-old fourth-grader Kassidy McEvoy said she had not had a haircut in about six months.
“I’ve had long hair my entire life and I wanted to try something new,” she said. “And besides, it’s for a good cause.”
Possibly the biggest cheers came for 10-year-old fifth-grader Joseph Rathnaw, who had been growing his hair out since seeing another boy donate his hair the last time Wigs 4 Kids was at his school. It took five ponytails and then a lot of work with the clippers to bring back his boyish style.
He said he was excited to be cool again after more than a year of having long hair, but that his friends and family were “surprised and kind of terrified I’m cutting it off.”

“Joe, he heard me speak when he was in the third grade,” Wigs 4 Kids founder and CEO Maggie Varney told the school. “He’s been growing it out ever since.”
