More than a dozen teachers and students at Kenyon Woods Middle School in South Elgin shaved their heads yesterday to help fight cancer.
This is the third year the school has held the fundraiser, but this year it was especially meaningful. The 2-year-old niece of a science teacher at the school is being treated for leukemia. The little girl, Alice, and her Mom were at the fundraiser. Here's what her mom told TribLocal about the school's efforts:
“It’s amazing because the money for the research they do is why she has a 90 percent chance of making it.”

The school raised nearly $7,000 for The St. Baldrick's Foundation to help fund research to cure childhood cancers.
