After receiving over 100 nominations, 1,400 votes and countless heart-tugging messages highlighting the power of our community’s educators, ALLBRiGHT 1-800-PAINTING has announced their 2025 Paint-It-Forward Teachers of the Year Grand Prize Winners.
Each of these phenomenal educators received a $1,000 classroom grant and up to $10,000 in free painting services from ALLBRiGHT.
Steve Lindberg, Hart High School’s Boys & Girls Varsity Golf Coach & Graphic Design Teacher
Mr. Lindberg, a Saugus resident, has served SCV students for nearly four decades. Dozens of students nominated Mr. Lindberg, who they describe as a deeply-devoted teacher who is kind, generous and fun.
Casey Adams, Saint Marks School First Grade Teacher
A 20-year educator who lost her campus in the Eaton Fire, Adams – who lives in Arcadia – launched Storytime Express three days after her students’ homes burned down, traveling to the displaced families with books, games and hugs.
Brittany Singleton, Valencia High School Teacher
The Newhall educator is referred to by her students as “the best and most supportive teacher” they’ve ever had.
“Paint-It-Forward started nearly 20 years ago with one simple goal: giving back to our community,” shares Josh Abramson, ALLBRiGHT’s chief painting solutionist. “In 2025, we dedicated it to the teachers who have given so much… and we’re getting ready to announce Paint-It-Forward 2026!”
