Many thanks to the graduated Seniors of 2010 who have been generously painting rooms in the 300 Building with a two tone paint of royal blue on bottom and light blue on top, and installing off-white chair railings dividing the two shades and to help protect the walls from damage caused by the chair backs.  These Seniors have also framed all of the small murals and painted the door trim in 302.  The graduates are also purchasing a plaque in memory of Andy Hedges for Andy's Garden and donating the their remaining gift funds to assist in the exciting campus improvements currently being done by Mr. Tonneson.  Thank you Class of 2010!
