Classroom Painting
I forgot to talk about this one! In early June I’d like to paint the trim in our classroom another color and a portion of the walls as well. I’m also looking into a paint that will ‘stick’ to the tabletops. Get a jump start on your service hours for 2010-2011 or catch up on your 2009-2010 hours by helping with this project. Dates & times are flexible, just let me know of your availability.
