Perfect Attendance? Free Car!
The Chevy Drive for Perfection Program is a grassroots, community outreach program through which high schools like
Wheeler High School receive support from their local dealership, monetary donations, and the opportunity to have
their seniors that qualify with 98% or better attendance with no unexcused absences enter into a drawing where one senior
from all participating schools at the end of year event will walk away with a brand new 2013 Chevy Cruze or Chevy Sonic
valued up to $20,000. Thank you for the support of dealerships like Steve Raymon, Chevrolet.
