Goodbye beard, hello mustache
Dr. Alonso and city school board member Bob Heck are among those who have signed up to participate in Mustaches for Kids, growing out a mustache for a month to raise money for classroom projects. The catch: All participants must start with a smooth face. So tonight, when the fundraiser begins, Alonso will be clean-shaven for the first time since he was a teenager. For Heck, star of Bob the Vid Tech on Maryland Public Television, the clean shave won't be a departure from his normal look, but the mustache will be. Check back tomorrow and throughout the month for pictures...

Educational leaders come clean! Few political leaders would go this far to help children. Dr. Alonso and Mr. Hect's actions only prove that a leader can still be "macho" and take a personal risk to help students. Now shaving your whole head of hair for student reading goals could be next. Bald is "in".
