MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A successful school year begins at the top. That's according to KIPP, a national nonprofit network of public charter schools.  

Last week, KIPP provided 100 Liberty City kids free haircuts to ensure they look and feel sharp as the winter break ends and a new semester at school begins.
