DALLAS, May 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Faith Family Academy, a local charter school, is celebrating its students' commitment to their education by awarding one high school student with a free car. In a dramatic giveaway event, qualifying students will be randomly given different sets of keys and then take turns trying to start the engine.

This initiative has already had a postive impact on the high school student attendance rate at Faith Family Academy, which is at 96 percent so far this year. The school is projecting an attendance rate of 97 percent by the end of the year, an increase of 2 percent from last year.

Superintendent Mollie Purcell is thrilled with the results the school has seen. "This year we've seen an increase in attendance and in perfect attendance. Obviously, if a student is not in school, they're not going to learn. We try to get them to see the value of coming to school," said Purcell.

The Perfect Attendance Car Giveaway program is held in partnership with Drive Casa, a local used-car dealership, to incentivize class attendance and participation.

"As a proud partner in the community, Drive Casa is excited that we've been able to help increase attendance with this big giveaway. We hope to inspire kids to stay in school and work hard every day," said Streeter Berry, Co-Founder and President of Drive Casa.

For each of the six cycles during the school year that a student has perfect attendance, their name receives an entry for the end of year random drawing to win the car.
