Do you want to win a CAR?
Students, how would you like to drive a new Nissan Sentra? You could be the lucky winner of a new car if you participate in the Burleson High School, STRIVE-TO-DRIVE program. Here’s how:
- Students must be enrolled in the Burleson ISD for the entire 6 week grading period.
- Students may earn 1 ticket per 6 weeks for perfect attendance.
- Students may earn 4 BONUS tickets per semester for perfect attendance (Fall & Spring).
- Students may earn 10 BONUS tickets for the year for perfect attendance.
- Students may earn a maximum of 24 tickets per school year.
A Nissan Sentra will be awarded in May, at halftime, of the BHS Powder Puff football game.
**The district will utilize state guidelines for reporting average daily attendance to determine perfect attendance contest eligibility.**
**Students will not be notified about the number of tickets they have been awarded. If a student has questions, he/she should go to their House Office.**
Morgan Barnes, 2017 Winner of the Strive to Drive Car from Burleson Nissan.
