LHS, MHS to give away cars as attendance reward

Sep. 8—Legacy High School and Midland High School have partnered with Rogers Ford Lincoln to incentivize student attendance. One lucky student from each school now has the chance to drive home a brand-new 2023 Ford Escape Active.

Starting Sept. 7 and running through May 10, students can earn raffle tickets based on their attendance during every six-week period. This approach ensures that students who occasionally miss a day are still motivated to improve their attendance and increase their chances of winning the new vehicle or other prizes, a news release said.

When the winning students drive off in their new car, the cost of the vehicle, taxes, and associated fees are all covered by Rogers Ford Lincoln. To claim any prize, participating students must maintain an average attendance rate of at least 90% throughout the school year.

This initiative aims to emphasize the crucial importance of regular school attendance in enhancing students' overall educational experience. It recognizes that consistent attendance is a key factor in student success and future prospects. The partnership with Rogers Ford Lincoln represents an incentive for students to prioritize attendance and foster a culture of responsibility and learning.

Rogers Ford is family-owned and operated in Midland since 1964 and a proud supporter of MISD for 49 years.
