A Perfect Car For Perfect Attendance

Ferris Bueller she is not.

senior Katherine "Katie" Janiga was rewarded for her perfect attendance today after drawing the winning car key during the Perfect Car for Perfect Attendance event held at Toyota of Tampa Bay.

Janiga, who is headed to the University of Tennessee in the fall, was the 10th name drawn by Hillsborough School Board Chair Doretha Edgecomb. More than 150 recently graduated students who had perfect attendance during their just-completed senior year attended the event for a chance to select one of 20 keys from a fishbowl and see if that key opened the door and fit the ignition of the 2011 Scion XD.

The eligible students and their parents and friends filled a set of bleachers on the Toyota of Tampa Bay car lot on Fletcher Avenue. The group included nine students who had perfect attendance from kindergarten through graduation.

The event, sponsored by Toyota of Tampa Bay, was an incentive for students to faithfully attend school.
