Hundreds of Carson City students and parents gathered with school officials, trustees and community sponsors Wednesday evening at the Casino Fandango to celebrate Mayor Lori Bagwell’s “Attendance Hall of Fame” awards night.

The campaign to promote perfect, improved or consistent attendance in school was designed to help students understand the importance of attending school and ultimately incentivize children to arrive on time and remain at school.

Partnering with more than 30 local businesses including Greater Nevada Credit Union (GNCU), Carson City Toyota and Glen Eagles Restaurant, Mayor Bagwell and these community partners delivered more than 60 new bikes to students. Because numerous students met the criteria, the bikes were offered as raffle prizes.
