The first car and computer sale being held by students in the Montgomery County Students Automotive Trades Foundation (ATF) and Information Technology Foundation (ITF) will take place next month.
The program will sell used cars and computers that they have refurbished from 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9, at Gaithersburg High School. The school is located at 101 Education Blvd. in Gaithersburg. The sale will be held in the auto bays (school entrance near Summit Avenue).
The cars and computers are refurbished and reconditioned by the students as part of their classroom and lab studies. The sales provide students with the opportunity to practice their sales skills, earn Student Service Learning hours and develop a deeper appreciation for community involvement. The cars that will be available for sale will be listed here (http://www.cars2purchase.org/) in late November.
The ATF is also seeking car donations, which will help high school students learn how to evaluate, repair and restore used cars. The ATF generally accepts donations year-round between 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday at Damascus, Gaithersburg and Seneca Valley high schools and at the Thomas Edison High School of Technology. Donations are tax deductible.
