WAKARUSA -- "The case of the color controversy" appears to have come to an end.

Parents tell WSBT News that students at Northwood Middle School will be allowed to put pink in their hair next week.

At least a dozen students were sent home last week for having the pink-colored hair. The students say they did it to show their support for breast cancer awareness.

But the school's principal said colored hair is against school policy because it's disruptive. But parents now say the students will be allowed to put a pink stripe in their hair.

The school will also be raising money for breast cancer awareness.
