He shaved his head!! The Builders Club of Hampstead Hill Academy, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of East Baltimore, participated in many service projects in this past school year. One of the biggest fundraising project they did was to help the victims of Haiti. Students in the club wanted to help so they started a school wide fundraiser. One teacher, Mr. Swann, decided that he believed in this cause so much that he agreed to shave his head if the Builders Club could get the school to raise at least $2,500. After a few weeks, the school raised a total of $3,600. So during a pep rally in front of the whole school and the media, a check was presented to Red Cross and Mr. Swann shaved his head. It was a great fundraises that brought the entire school together for an important cause.
