Ten Meadowlark Elementary students with perfect attendance for the 2015-2016 school year pose with their new bicycles during the end-of-school awards ceremony. The bicycles were donated by American Garage, in Chinook, to emphasize the importance of school attendance. Heather and Scott DePriest, owners of American Garage, say they plan to continue the program each year and hope there will be more students achieving perfect attendance in the future.
Perfect attendance during the 2015-2016 school year paid off in a big way for 10 students at Meadowlark Elementary in Chinook. For a year of perfect attendance, not even one tardy day, each received a brand new bicycle. The bicycles were courtesy of American Garage, a local automotive repair facility in Chinook. It was the first year for the 'school attendance promotion' but, according to American Garage co-owner Heather DePriest, "It won't be the last year for the program. We plan to continue it and hope even more students will have perfect attendance and be winners next year."
