Nick Bakke paints Tuesday in a classroom at Willmar Junior High School. Bakke, a social studies teacher at the junior high, was one of several teachers to volunteer to paint rooms in the building as part of the moving process. All but three of the teachers will move to different rooms in the building as the school transitions from a junior high to middle school. Next year, sixth-graders will join the seventh- and eighth-graders. The teachers painted at least 10 rooms. Tribune photo by Gary Miller
