This past Friday was St. Baldrick's day at school. St. Baldricks is a foundation whose mission is to raise awareness and funds to cure children's cancer. Participants donate their hair to those who have lost theirs due to cancer treatments. Jordan and 11 other girls from her school donated their hair for this important cause! About 25 boys from her school and several teachers shaved their heads in support of St. Baldrick's as well. It was a wonderful day to see so many young kids with servant hearts willing to give something that is very important to them. It was a VERY emotional day to say the least. The entire school filled a room and watched the festivities. Whenever a girl's ponytail was cut off the entire school erupted in applause. Jordan, who doesn't like the limelight, had a difficult time with this but made it through the day and looked absolutely ADORABLE! I do have admit that after school she did have a meltdown about her missing hair but after I washed it and styled it she was fine. She knows in her heart that she did something amazing for someone. I told her the person that gets her hair is the luckiest girl around because she has absolutely gorgeous hair. I am so proud of her for giving this amazing gift!

YEY J!!! Remember it will grow back!!
Such a sweetheart!!!
Oh that is just the sweetest!! Tell her I am so proud of her and that she will make some little girl or boy very happy! Jordan is beautiful with long, short or no hair at all!!Love you all!!
I know how hard it was for her to cut off those beautiful locks but she made another child feel "normal" with her wonderful gift. Also take it from me she also was a lot warmer with all of that thick beautiful hair on her head. Great Job Jordan. Love Grammy
