The USD 428 Board of Education extended a note of appreciation to Karen Shaner, Jane Isern, and several local donors and volunteers for organizing the Perfect Attendance Bike Giveaway program again this year. Over the past six years, the group has contributed 110 bicycles that were given away to students in grade school with perfect attendance.
USD 428 Superintendent Khris Thexton says the program is a nice incentive to the students to show up to school every day.

Each year, the volunteers gather funds for the bike giveaway. The Golden Belt Bicycle Company has assisted in purchasing and assembling the bikes.
This year there were 20 Trek Mountain Bikes purchased. Every elementary school had at least one student win a bike and Eisenhower had the most with six students.
