On a Friday at Western High School, Cicily Bullard's ninth-grade English class is excited about the upcoming weekend.
As the fourth-period class lets out, a new wave of excitement begins, but this time, her classroom is the source of this positive energy.
On the first-year teacher's desk, there's a card that reads, "Never underestimate the power of a caring teacher," with "caring teacher" highlighted in yellow.
Her students call her Ms. B, and during her prep period on Fridays, it's clear that she's the epitome of a caring teacher.
A few weeks ago, Ms. B had a dilemma.
"I'm a step team coach, and I bought in another coach, and we had some team building one day," she said. "She wanted them to stand up and introduce themselves, and one of her requirements was for the gentlemen to take their off their hoods."
It was a simple request, but for one of the students participating that day, there was a reason he was wearing his hood and why he was hesitant to take it off.
"When he did, everybody started laughing because his hair was beaded up, and he hadn't had a haircut in months," she said.
So, Ms. B created a Facebook post asking for donations, and one of those responses came from her childhood friend, Ro Da Barber.
"She had said something about one [student] who was insecure about his hair, so he always wore a hood and all that," Ro Da Barber said. "I don't want these kids to feel like that. So, if I got to come and give you a haircut every day for you to feel good and confident about yourself, that's what I'm going to do."
