Relay for Life

This weekend we have Relay for Life happening in my neck of the woods.  We set a goal at my school to raise $7000.00.  If we were able to raise that much, our principal said he would let our cancer 'survivors' and our 'fighter' shave his head.  

Well, we did it!  

We raised $7000.00.  Can you believe that?  Isn't that AWESOME!  

So today our principal got his head shaved and his mustache.  (He has had a mustache since I have known him.  7 years at least)  We have 3 students that are cancer survivors and 1 who has had it and it is back again (boo!) so we call him the 'fighter'.  Unfortunately, our 'fighter' had chemo yesterday so he wasn't able to come to school today so his brother stepped in for him.  I have had two of the four in my classroom for kindergarten.  Here are some pictures of them shaving our principal's head.





 I work at such a wonderful school!

  1. That is heartbreaking that kids that young have already had cancer. I can't imagine that. I'm so glad that your school was able to raise 7,000 dollars and that your principal did this! What a big heart this shows of him and your whole school!

    1. It is so heartbreaking. 3 of the students are doing really well right now though and the other one is a real fighter.

  2. Such a cool story! Noticed you're at a charter school - I'm making that move next year. How do you like it? Thanks for visiting my blog and becoming a follower!

    1. Thanks! My charter school is just like a public school. I love it. I know not all charter schools are ran like the one I am at, but I was lucky to find this amazing school.
