fell charter students caught streaking for breast cancer

On Monday, October 5th the students, and staff of Fell Charter School, along with Amy Ghirelli, Owner of Headquarters Hair Salon and Coconut Grove Tanning Salon of Scranton, will be adding pink streaks to their hair in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Mrs. Ghirelli will be at Fell Charter School, 777 Main St. Simpson, PA from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. painting the streaks of pink in support of breast cancer research.

Everyone (men and women) in the community is invited to come to the school and “go pink”. The cost will be $15.00 (cash please) with one half of the cost going to the Susan G. Koeman Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.

Mary Jo Walsh, Principal at Fell Charter said, “The students have been asking to do this for quite some time. I am thrilled that Mrs. Ghirelli offered to help us out. It will be fantastic!”

Please join us as we fight against this disease on October 5th at Fell Charter School

Contact: Mary Jo Walsh, (school) 570-282-5199 or Mrs. Ghirelli at (Salon) 570-969-1139.

Hello Parents & Guardians -

We’re moving through September pretty fast at Fell Charter and are accomplishing a lot!  We do hope that you’re actively involved in your child(ren)’s school life; checking their backpacks, going over homework, and talking about their day.

This week is ITBS testing in all grades – it is even more important than usual that all students be here on time, be healthy, and be well rested.

This week’s Warrior has several important announcements from the cafeteria and nurse’s office – please take the time to read them!  Also included are copies of official Fell Charter policies, for your reference.
