Our crew had a blast at MTHS Educators Rising's Parents' Night Out! We hope the parents had a good night, too.
This Park Avenue is in very good condition for its age. The body is sound and the interior is very clean. The students in the MTHS Auto Mech classes have gone through it and replaced what was worn and did the basic routine services to it. The car has approximately 136,700 miles on it. The tires are about 70% and the brakes are the same. If you want to see it, the car can be seen in the north faculty lot outside the new CTE building. The car will be up for auction till 4 PM December 16th. The highest bidder at that time will get it. You can e-mail cvedder@mths.us with any questions or to place a bid.
We would also like to thank the Debolt family for the donation of the car to the shop. The proceeds will go to expanding our tools/equipment for the students to use.
