Too Hot for Teacher?

On campus, he teaches math at Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High. Off campus, he’s known in some circles as “Mr. August.”

Patrick Kile is the driving force behind a calendar which features fellow teachers – some scantily-clad – all for a charity project.

Money raised from calendar sales goes to cancer research. It’s a fundraiser for his “Relay for Life” team and all profits are going to the American Cancer Society , but do students really need to see skin from their teachers?

While it’s getting some good reviews, shots like Mr. June (pictured) are making some waves, as six of the teachers are shirtless.

“Coach Mortar coaches wrestling and works with weightlifting,” said Kile. “He also teaches history.”

“They're teachers! You've got young impressionable teenage girls,” said one parent. “They don't need that. They need role models, not sexy muscles.”

Kile, 33, teaches Geometry and helps coach Girl’s Soccer.

“We just wanted something ‘outside the box,’ unique and fun and different, that would help open some eyeballs and raise some money,” said Kile, who is a cancer survivor himself.

“Back in 2005, I was diagnosed with tongue cancer that spread to my neck.”

Now that he's in remission, Kile is trying to help other cancer victims.

“It’s for a good cause. I went to the school board and spoke with the ethics director of human resources and he thought it was a great idea!”

Kile hopes others see it that way too. If not, he says, “Just don't buy the calendar.”

So far, he has sold 100 calendars. Each is priced at $20. His goal is to sell 1,000 calendars to raise about $10,000.
