"Haircuts for Hope"

New Jersey has just enacted the toughest anti-bullying law in the country.  It's become the focus of local news reports, magazine and newspaper articles, and professional development meetings.  Amidst all this, it's nice to see a story that emphasizes kids supporting each other, especially in a high school setting.  Check out what students at Downingtown West High School are doing:

My favorite 3 parts of the video:
1. the girl who had her head buzzed
2. the dean of students initiated the supportive action
3. haircuts were given in the cafeteria, not out of school

What's your favorite part?
