He learned about the food pyramid and was surprised to find out that the average person eats 150 pounds of sugar each year. The boy\u2019s aunt, Kathleen Winfrey, was pleasantly surprised when she heard of the program. She said it was a perfect opportunity to have her nephews Tayshawn and Titan get a haircut without having to schedule an appointment at a barbershop. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I just want to support kids reading<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; Holmes said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8283\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8283\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/barber-haircut-reading.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/barber-haircut-reading.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/barber-haircut-reading-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/barber-haircut-reading-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/barber-haircut-reading-85x57.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8283\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/earhustle411.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/barber-haircut-reading.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Helping Children Succeed In School<\/strong> \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the free haircuts, an organization called St. Mark Youth Enrichment gave out free books and information about helpful resources. Over than 100 people got information about free resources and opportunities that help families prepare for the upcoming school year. St. Mark also registered people for the Apples for Students program. At least 1,300 children in the community will receive backpacks full of school supplies.
