Earlier this year, Mr. Lamshed and his students held a event called Clippers for Cancer. Clippers for Cancer is a fundraiser event in which students raised money for the Child Cancer Foundation of Australia. To say that this fundraiser was a success would be a understatement, his class raised nearly $2,000 for this worthy cause....and also walked away with bald heads for their troubles.Mr. Lamshed has decided to reach out to all of his international friends and take Clippers for Cancer worldwide. I am very excited to announce that my class will be participating in the fundraiser in the Spring of 2010 with proceeds going towards the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This will be a fantastic opportunity for both of our students to once again bridge the international gap through technology and do so for some worthy causes. I would also like to invite anyone who is interested in participating to visit the Clippers for Cancer page and get involved.

Wow! What an inspiring thing to do for such a fabulous cause!
Wow Mr McClung,
I am a 10 year old girl from Brisbane Australia. And I think you are doing a fabulous deed. Wouldn't it be great if everyone raised money by shaving there heads. All you would see would be people everywhere with shaved heads. But it is for a good deed. Come and visit my blog at

Amazing! Its great to see that young people are helping out the ones in need. Shaving your head is a huge thing to do (expecially if youve never done it before!), but its to a great cause and I can see that you all have hearts of gold. Well done!
We were very proud of the Boys' Class' efforts. They inspired the Girls' Class to 'make a difference' and help others, too. So we're looking at global issues in our "Girls Get Global" project, and we're going to choose an issue to support. A hard choice - so many worthy causes!

I am glad you guys are thinking about others it is verry important to help those in need! Me thinking I don't think I could do that!!
Wow,
This was such a good idea I wish that I was there to be apart of it all. I saw on T.V that some people were doing this and it was so cool. I just think that Its so great that your doing this to help out others. I wonder it the other kids were as happy as i think that they were? Do you thing people will hear about this and then start doing it also? I sure hope that they do.
Wow,
This is so cool I think that it is so good that you are helping other sick kids when they really needit. I hope that other people start to find out about this and then they do it to. I wonder if others have done this in the United States?
I think this is a very good idea and very kind idea too. I am a girl but I care for other peoples lifes so if my class or school, or somewhere else was doing it I would still do it. I would do it because my great Uncle had Cancer and he died from it.
SAVE PEOPLE FROM CANCER !!!!!
