WEST SPRINGFIELD — Ten fifth and sixth graders from Agawam crowded into a small room at West Springfield’s CHD Cancer House of Hope. The shelves were lined with wigs of every color and style draped over foam and plastic heads. The students curiously asked Program Director Margaret Toomey questions, wondering how people put them on, how long a wig will last and if the hair can be curled and styled. Toomey patiently answered the children’s questions, before the group moved on to tour other areas of the house.
