DeKalb West School has announced the winners of the Perfect Attendance awards for the first semester of the school year.
8th Grader Gabby Wheatley had perfect attendance her first 9 weeks. She was one of 66 students with perfect attendance that were placed in a drawing for the top prize. The second 9 weeks of school 2nd grader Maddux Pyburn was one of 37 students who had perfect attendance.
D-W-S Principal Sabrina Farler today (January 11) presented both students with a $20 Walmart gift card. Awards will be given out to students who have perfect attendance for the third and fourth 9 week school sessions. In May students who have maintained perfect attendance the entire school year will be honored with recognition and prizes including new bicycles.
Perfect attendance not only means students have shown up to school every day, it also means they have not been tardy and have not left school before the final bell rings.
