During Fall 2008, high school seniors at more than
200 schools in 26 Tennessee counties learned that having perfect
attendance would make them eligible to win a new 2008 Chevy Cobalt
sedan this June. Close to 500 students faithfully attended all 180 days
during the school year. Five of these students will be awarded new
Chevy Cobalts in a drawing held at the Sommet Center on 501 Broadway in
Nashville on June 13, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Now in its second year, Drive For Perfection
is an initiative presented by Chevrolet and the Middle Tennessee
Chevrolet Dealers in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of
Education, and was created to give Seniors an additional incentive to
finish their high school careers strong in order to adequately prepare
for post-secondary education or the workforce.
“Literacy and education are two initiatives that Chevrolet and its
dealers champion through their support of several initiatives in the
Southeast region,” said Tim Hudgens, Chevrolet marketing manager for
GM’s Southeast region. “The Tennessee Department of Education is
charged with the significant task of educating the state’s youth, and
our local Chevy dealers are honored to provide support to them and high
schools in their communities.”
Perfect
attendance was determined by an eligible student’s attendance record
for the first 180 days of the 2007-2008 school year as submitted by the
Local Education Agencies. In order to select the winners, final lists
were developed with eligible students from all five school regions and
the grand prize event will be held at the Sommet Center on Friday, June
13. All qualified seniors must be present for the reverse drawing to
win the Cobalt. Scheduled drawings include:
- 10:00 am - County Region 1: Rutherford, Cannon and Williamson
- 11:00 am - County Region 2: Davidson
- 12:00 pm - County Region 3: Dickson, Overton, Putnam, Smith, White, Sumner and Cheatham
