Jun. 15, 2007 - Go to school ... get a car
This is an old item, but a good one.
The Associated Press reported on December 1, 2006 that "Schools try to keep kids with free cars." School districts in Casper, WY, Hartford, CT, Pueble, CO, South Lake Tahoe, CA and Yuma, AZ, among others, give away vehicles for going to school. The article reports, "In most cases the car or truck is donated by a local dealership, and the prizes typically are awarded through drawings open only to students with good attendance."
Hmmmm, maybe I shouldn't feel so guilty about awarding my Summer readers with a trip to the candy shop.
