painting schools (my kind of volunteer event!)

A few weekends ago, a group from work volunteered with an organization called Publicolor to help paint a nearby school, Gramercy Arts High School, on a Saturday morning/afternoon. It was a blast - not only because I enjoy painting (a lot) but the organization seems to be a really great thing to help kids get involved in beneficial after-school programs and do something worthwhile with their time. AND, we painted the school some really awesome colors - Marigold, Italian Rose (HOT pink), and Plum Royale (a great, dark purple color). Here are a few pictures a coworker put together and emailed out.
