ALVERNO HIGH SCHOOL HOSTS A SUCCESSFUL
BEAUTIFUL LENGTHS EVENT

Alverno’s Campus Ministry
program donated more
than 500 inches of hair to the
organization

Sierra Madre, CA (June 3,
2013) – Alverno High School,
in association with several local
hairstylists, hosted a successful
Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths
event on campus that helped to
generate more than 500 inches
of hair to be donated to help
create free wigs for women
fighting cancer.

Founded in 2006, Beautiful
Lengths is a partnership between
hair care giant Pantene
and the American Cancer Society,
the largest non-profit
health organization committed
to saving lives from every cancer
and improving the quality
of life for people facing the disease.
The role of Pantene is to
help women grow long, strong,
beautiful hair and provide the
funds to turn this hair into free,
real-hair wigs for women with
cancer. So far, Pantene has donated 24,000 free real-hair wigs to the American Cancer Society’s wig
banks, which distribute wigs to cancer patients across the country.

This event was the fifth time that Alverno students and community members have chopped their
locks for this great cause. This year’s event was dedicated to the memory of Susan Tavera, whose
daughters Erika and Koko graduated from Alverno in 2010 and 2012. Speaking about her mom’s own
cancer experience, Koko encouraged students to think about a woman who they would be willing to
donate their hair for and to donate for someone who could not.

By the end of the day more than 60 members of the Alverno community gave over 500 inches of hair
that will help give a woman fighting cancer a reason to smile. Every person who donated on Wednesday
received a special gift bag, an angel hair pasta lunch, and an “I Donated” badge that showed off
their great commitment to the cause.

“In the past ten years, the Alverno community has helped to donate more than 7,500 inches of hair
to Locks of Love and Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths,” said Ann Gillick Head of School. “At Alverno, we
strive to teach our students the importance of service and the impact that they can make in the lives
of others. Today, these students made an enormous impact on a woman they have never even met by
donating their hair to help make a wig. We empower each of our young

women to be exactly the person she wants to be and I am proud that we have empowered them to be
givers.

THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show

NOW YOU SEE ME

When going in to
see this movie, I thought it
had one of those plots that
seemed interesting in trailers
but would fall apart in a two
hour film. However, I was
proven very, very wrong.

Four magicians
(Jesse Eisenberg, Woody
Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave
Franco) are mysteriously
summoned to a strange
apartment where they are
given the opportunity to join
the Eye, an ancient order of
magicians. In order to prove
themselves worthy, they
must complete three tasks,
in this case magic shows. The
stakes are raised for them
when an FBI agent (Mark
Ruffalo) starts to chase them and their time begins to run out.

The closest movie that I could compare ‘Now You See Me’
to would be ‘Inception’, the only major difference being that the
ending is much easier to understand. Most movies can’t pull off
the you-don’t-know-everything-until-the-last-minute plot very
well but this one does it not only flawlessly, but enjoyably as well.

We’d like
to hear
from you!

What’s
on YOUR
Mind?
