About 40 employees from Chesapeake Surgical, a medical sales and distribution company in Columbia, volunteered to paint classrooms and other areas Friday at the Washington Middle School for Girls in Southeast.
The company chose the school as part of its inaugural community service campaign, which will provide labor and other resources to underserved communities in the region.
The school, which began as a tutoring program in 1997, has about 90 students in grades 4 through 8 and opened a second campus on Douglass Road SE three years ago for fourth- and fifth-graders.
