St. Baldrick's: Principal Tim Hoss Leads "NMS Bald Eagles"

Northport Middle School Principal Tim Hoss is running the team "NMS Bald Eagles" again this year. He shaves his head in memory of a former student - Taylor Matthews.

Mr. Timothy Hoss, Principal of Northport Middle School, has been an active participant in the Northport St. Baldrick's Events for years. In 2012, Mr. Hoss instituted an opportunity for 50 shavees to participate in St. Baldrick's shaving during the 8th period of the NMS schoolday, on the date of the Northport School Event.

Here's his message:

I'm thrilled to be a part of Northport Middle School's "NMS Bald Eagles" team again this year. Please consider donating to this worthy cause.

I'll be shaving my head in the NMS auditorium on Friday, March 8 at 2:30 p.m., in memory of the bravest child I have ever known, Taylor Matthews, whom I taught when she was an 8th grader. She lost her fight to cancer at age 16, but not before touching the lives of all that knew her. To learn more about Taylor and her battle, please visit her website at http://www.taybandz.org/
