The SCA at Cave Spring High School held their 2nd Annual Knight's Morning Buzz in the gym this morning beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 8:25.
Students and community members came out today to get their hair cut for only $10. The SCA helped raise $1,443, which will all go to Ms. Susan Kern, a teacher at Back Creek Elementary School with cancer.
SCA President Greg Mackey said that David Kaplan, a 2008 graduate, came up with the idea last year and was so successful that they decided to bring it back this year. Last year the Knight's Morning Buzz brought in about $1,200 for the American Cancer Society.
"We just wanted to do something small for Ms. Kern," Mackay said.
During the Knight's Morning Buzz, students, teachers, and the community enjoyed a free breakfast from Famous Anthony's and music from Jammin' JJS.
Principal Steven Spangler said, "I'm very proud of these kids- I have been proud of them all year. When it comes to community service, they go above and beyond. These kids come up with these projects. This year it hits close to home, helping Ms. Kern at Back Creek Elementary. It's a good thing."
Jourdan Markey, a freshman at CSHS said she came out today because it's for a good cause and to help out SCA.
Even graduate David Kaplan came home for the event from Sryacuse, where he just finished up his first year of college.
"It's great to be back here and see what this has turned into," he said. "We started it last year and it's good to see it grow."
