Lisa York, a 2006 Miami graduate and a teacher at Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Ga., gave her 11th grade American Literature students a challenge. Raise $1,500 in one week for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
“I told them that if they made that, they could shave my head, thinking it was a rather lofty, although feasible, goal,” she says. The students met her dare and York now sports a new “do.” (2008)
