HOPE – Hope High School students qualified for the second nine weeks “Strive for Five” attendance initiative drawings were recognized Tuesday, with the top two prizes going to a senior and a freshman, both of whom were absent only one and half days, with zero tardies in the nine week period.
Senior Lennetta Conway chose the $50 cash grand prize and Freshman Leasly Luna received the Beats personal music set awarded by HHS Assistant Principal Mike Radebaugh.
“We are really proud of the way you stepped up this nine-weeks,” Radebaugh told the qualifiers during morning donuts and juice gatherings prior to prize drawings Tuesday.
Winners by class include seniors Ja’bre Martin (iTunes card), Kiaura Smith (iTunes card), and Artruro Paredes (lunch at Amigo Juan Mexican Café); juniors Jackson Bowlin (iTunes), Destiny Bell (iTunes), and Lizbeth Medina-Bello (lunch at Amigo Juan); sophomores Juan Dominguez (iTunes), Chistopher Haywood (iTunes), and Joshua Gonzalez (lunch at Amigo Juan); and, freshmen Jerry Noble (iTunes), Gia Ventura (iTunes), and Miyaunna Purifoy (lunch at Amigo Juan).
Winners were drawn at random Tuesday with students having no more than five absences and tardies eligible once; students with four absences and tardies eligible twice; students with three absences and tardies eligible three times; students with two absences and tardies eligible four times; students absent and tardy once eligible five times; and, students with zero absences and tardies eligible six times.
All qualifiers were eligible for grade-level drawings and for the overall drawing. Students were required to attend the morning grade-level drawing to be eligible for either drawing.
Prizes for the initiative included eight $25 iTunes music cards provided by HHS; $50 cash given by Hempstead County Farm Credit; four lunches at Amigo Juan Mexican Café provided by Superintendent Bobby Hart’s office; and, a pair of Beats personal music phones donated by an HHS supporter.
