Igniting the Ignatian Beard

By Shawnta’ Jones ‘14

Last month, Red Cloud High School took part in the Pennies for Patients fundraiser.

Red Cloud students raised more than $300 for this year’s fundraiser. The junior class won a prize for raising more money than any other class. Junior class sponsor and Spiritual Formation teacher Brad Held S.J. promised the class that he would get flames shaved into his beard if they raised the most pennies for the fight against leukemia .

 “I think Brad had a very creative incentive to get the juniors to raise money for the Pennies for Patients,” said Shenique Monique. “He definitely has raised the bar for incentives next year.”

“It was a fun way to motivate my class. It was really cool!” said junior Myranda Pourier. “Brad is awesome.”

On Tuesday March 4th, Brad had flames shaved into his beard by local artist and hairstylist Alvin Mills of Native Stylz.
