Lindenhurst HS Students Go Bald for Good Cause

It's said that bald is beautiful. So is shaving your head - especially if it's for a good cause. And students and faculty at recently demonstrated that premise with good reason: to help the fight against children's cancer.

Earlier this month 117 LHS students and staff shaved off their hair to raise more than $2,000 for the Saint Baldrick's Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.

Those students and staff who opted for a shorn or bald look on December 1 included both boys and girls, and even Principal Dan Giordano got his hair buzzed to help the cause.
