Meade Middle School is planning a big event May 5 to raise money for new technology and programs.

The school will host the "Meade Mega Market" event, featuring a community yard sale, silent auction and other activities.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine.

Highlights include a silent auction from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and a hamburger/hot dog stand from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will also be a "turn in your gold for cash" stand from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Yard sale tables are for sale now for $25 each or $40 for two. Anyone interested in buying a table should contact Pat Miller (plmiller@aacps.org) or Margaret Haacke (mhaacke@aacps.org), or by calling 410-674-2355.

The school is also accepting donations to the silent auction.

Proceeds will go to support character education and project-based learning efforts, as well as the school's Homeland Security program and new iPads for classroom use.
