What’s going on at Xcell Academy a Paul Mitchell School « Xcell Academy's Blog!

Xcell Academy a Paul Mitchell Partner School has had so much going on the past month! Our students exceeded their fundraising goal and celebrated with a cookout and 'I Love Paul Mitchell Day' (and got to throw water balloons at the staff!). Then they picked right back up and began helping in the community by donating their time and services to help those so tragically affected by the storms. Paul Mitchell Schools jumped right in and donated the Paul Mitchell Bus for us to take to the communities to help those who were so desperately in need. Our students traveled to Tuscaloosa, Cullman, and Hackleburg, AL to wash and cut hair. Now, the bus has traveled to our sister school, Paul Mitchell the School – Huntsville so they can do the same for their community. Also, we've received countless love notes from Paul Mitchell Schools across the country, all of which have deeply touched our hearts.

We also had incredible guest artists like Lenny King, Debra Dietrich, and CC Cotton who shared inspiration stories with our Future Professionals, as well as being able to show and teach incredible skill sets. Our students took their talent to the street, or park! Oak Mountain State Park hosted the Xterra Southeastern Triathalon and students participated in a cut-a-thon in which all proceeds benefited the American Red Cross. In just a few hours, the students had raised more than ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!

There are so many incredible opportunities to give back, join a family, and receive a great education when you attend a Paul Mitchell School.
