Sharkeys at Beachy Cove Elementary

We were really excited to help out at Beachy Cove Elementary's sports day this year ... but the weather just didn't co-operate! Sharkeys wanted to be on hand to provide temporary tattoos for all the kids while they enjoyed their annual sports day. Hopefully we are able to make up for it in September.

However, even though the weather didn't co-operate, we still wanted to offer something to the kids of Beachy Cove, so we donated free haircut certificates to each class in the school.

In addition to Beachy Cove Elementary, Sharkeys also donated free haircuts to the following schools:
Holy Cross
St. Andrew's Family Breakfast
St. Teresa's
Virginia Park Elementary

If you would like to know more about us and what we do, please contact us at our salon at 140 Stavanger Dr in St. John's, by phone (709) 722-2887, or by email.
