East Syracuse Minoa C.H.S. Spartan Garage, East Syracuse, New York;
For the past 18 years, students in the Automotive Technology program at East Syracuse Minoa High School, have been involved in a very unique project. Each year, students have purchased a classic vehicle to restore and gain hands-on experience. When the vehicle nears completion, raffle tickets are sold and the the lucky winner announced in July each year.
The funds generated from the raffle are utilized to keep the restoration and raffle process going each year. A portion of the proceeds are also used to provide awards for students that participate in the build.
Students are responsible for the build from start to finish. Learning life skills in areas such as budgeting, advertising, creative thinking, communication and collaborating. It goes without saying that the mechanical experiences students encountered touches each and every system within the vehicle.
We are very appreciative for all of our supporters over the past 17 years. There is no doubt, that without your support, what we do would not be possible. We are very grateful for your continued support.
