After principal, Tonya King, denied junior Jim Stack’s request he was disappointed and then went to the school board to ask if he could grow his hair longer. The meeting will be on Monday at 7 p.m.

  “I was disappointed when Mrs. King turned my request down,” Stack said.

He saw how happy his sister was when she got her first wig and wanted other people to feel the same.

  “Donation my hair to Locks of Love is a very special project to me,” Stack said.

Stack went to his principal first and was discouraged when she rejected his request .

  “Had I approved Jim’s request, then I would have students everyday asking is they also could break the dress code” King said.

Principal King is willing to help with fundraisers if Stack does one.

  “There are other ways Jim could help the Locks of Love group,” King said.“He could have a fundraiser and donate the money to the organization.”

His mom is proud of him.

  1. Your story was good but here are a few things I saw.
    1. Your lead is wordy. You could use some of that information in your story.
    2. Paragraph 2 and 5 are repeats. Don’t do that.
    3. Paragraph 8, 9, and 10 need to work better together. Fix the transition in paragraph 9 and it will help you out.

    Some good things I saw were
    1.You did good in setting up your quotes, making sure that said came after the name instead of before.
    2. I thought you had good quotes in a good order.
    3. You have good transitions just not in a good order.

    After all, you did good for your first time (:

YOU COULD SAY HE APPEALED HIS REQUEST TO THE SCHOOL BOARD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

    YOU DID A GOOD JOB ON YOUR QUOTES, BUT HAVE VERY LITTLE OF THE FACTS IN YOUR STORY.
