Before the event that saw about 30 students staff and family members get their heads shaved. Rideout, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is starting her chemotherapy gave a speech thanking the school for their financial support for Cancer sufferers and research.

More than $20,000 was raised by the school this spring which will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.
