Bravo to the graduating seniors at New Hampshire’s Profile Junior-Senior High School for paying it forward! Rather than bond with pals during a four-day, rite-of-passage getaway at Ridin-Hy Ranch in New York, students in Bethlehem, N.H., unanimously voted to donate the money they put toward their class trip — $8,000! — to sick principal Courtney Vashaw, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
