AMS Wins True Value's "Painting a Brighter Future" Grant!

However, when the old boards are removed, the paint behind it can be almost any color of the rainbow and definitely not the current cream colored the walls currently show. The new boards are a different size and shape than what they replaced. When you are upgrading 40 classrooms you are talking a lot of paint.

Enter True Value Hardware and Jared Littman. Through the Painting a Brighter Future Grant, Annapolis Middle School was awarded 40 gallons of paint to perfectly match the walls to make the upgrade seamless. The Annapolis Branch of True Value and its owner, Alderman Jared Littman are not only providing paint, but they are helping us with everything from brushes and tarps to 'boots on the ground' for the day of.

You can help us too!
