Colony High girl wins car
Amylee Martin is the proud owner of a new Chevy Colbalt.
"I am so excited," Amylee said.
The Colony High School sophomore on Thursday won a 2010 Chevy Cobalt valued at $18,900 for having perfect attendance as part of Mark Christopher Chevrolet Auto Center's "It's Cool to Stay in School" program.
Amylee, 16, was one of five finalists who each received a key from the dealership. Amylee's key was the only one to start the car. The other four finalists won a $100 Visa gift card.
Students in grades nine through 12 with perfect attendance during the 2009-10 school year from the two Chaffey Joint Union High School District schools were eligible to win the new car.
The only exceptions to missing school were school-sponsored field trips and activities.
Amylee went into a drawing with 266 other students.
Perfect attendance can added up to $1 million in revenues for the district that has schools in Ontario, Montclair and Rancho Cucamonga.
The 35-miles-per-gallon, fuel-efficient black car includes perks, such as a rear spoiler and a one-year plan for OnStar, an auto safety and security system.
If that's not enough - the dealership will also pay for the Cobalt's tax and license and the winner will receive $1,000 in gas cards donated by Alpine Collision Center.
This is the second time the Ontario-based Chevrolet dealership has participated in a car give-away for the local schools.
Other students who had perfect attendance were at the giveaway. They received raffle tickets and some won donated prizes, including an iPad, iPod, flat-screen televisions, gift cards and more.
Unfortunatley, Amylee doesn't have a driver's license or even a permit.
