First-grader Cahce Coates, below, reacts in disbelief after Principal Darren Dean, right, revealed his new bleach-blonde hairdo for the Viewmont Elementary students during an assembly Friday at the Murray school. Stylist Lynda Barlocker is applying red and green highlights to the principal. Dean went platinum as a reward to the students for reaching their goal for money raised to support the Sub-for-Santa program. Through student contributions, the school raised $2,675 for the charity that provides Christmas for needy families.
