Fifth Annual Cutting of the Curls: The Best Yet

Previous Years Documented
Second Annual Post

Fourth Annual Post

You know the routine by now.

  1. I grow my hair to Texas food portion size. 
  2. Offer said hair as a fundraiser for some group.
  3. Let some lucky winner style it any way they choose
  4. And finally pretend to be embarrassed by the extra attention. 
This year the fundraiser is very cool. Two teacher families here at school are traveling to Cambodia over spring break to build homes through The Tabitha Foundation. One of the families has two boys who were adopted from Cambodia when they we infants. What an incredible experience it will be for them. One of those boys is my student and the point guard on my basketball team. Both families are awesome and I am really happy to have helped the cause in a small way.

If you want to donate to this wonderful cause, you can do so here.

In the end, the raffle to cut my hair was won by my vice-principal - also the Mom of the two boys mentioned earlier. Teachers usually seem to be the biggest buyers for this thing which might say something about how my peers feel about me.
