S-T Elementary Teacher Sacrifices Hair for Student Achievement

"Shorter! Shorter!," chanted Robin Pate's fourth grade class as she prepared to have 20-plus inches cut from her waist-length hair.

The severed locks will be donated to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for cancer patients.
