Pacific Crest Academy Middle School teacher Angela Dasso and sixth-grade student Jerrica Pachl shave their heads at the St. Baldrick's Foundation event on Jan. 25.

Pacific Crest Academy Catholic School teacher Angela Dasso took the lead at a fundraising event to conquer childhood cancer by shaving her head after a team of students and community members raised nearly $16,000.

The Camas school now has nine students with shaved heads – eight boys and one girl. In addition, middle school teacher Dasso no longer has a head full of thick, shiny black hair.
