Early this year, a Spanish teacher at my middle school died of cancer, leaving behind a son. The school banded together to raise money for a college fund. They raised $6,300. Six teachers and the Principal shaved their heads in support. One cut the ponytail he'd been growing since 1986. GMH.

That's awesome that your school did that! *Applaudes* I'm sorry for what happened to the Spanish teacher though. =(

Not to sound rude, but how does shaving your head help? jw

To Bud: They probably shaved their heads off for people who don't have hair due to cancer or something. Maybe the teacher had cancer.

That must've been a LONG ponytail! I once read an FML about a guy who had to cut his off because he had lice, but this is so much better. :]
