Good news For three Baltimore City schools

Three Baltimore City elementary schools received some pretty awesome news Friday.

Brehms Lane Elementary School, a pre-K-5 in Northeast Baltimore, was chosen as one of 32 schools nationwide to receive a Target School Library Makeover.

The makeover will bring thousands of dollars' worth of new books, furniture and equipment into the school's reading and research area. In addition to the library's receiving 2,000 new books, computers, furniture, shelves and carpet, each student will get seven new books to take home.

Two other elementary schools in the city - Mary E. Rodman and John Eager Howard - were named finalists for the prize and will receive $1,000 to purchase new books.

All that's missing now is an ABC camera crew and that annoyingly energetic Ty Pennington...

Do we really need your sarcasm? Well at least unlike the Baltimore Sun ABC and Extreme Makeover - Home Edition step up and help individuals and families. Congratulations to all three schools!
