HERMISTON HERALD
Rogers Toyota of Herm-
iston helped get kids out of
bed and off to school this
past year.
In its first year of offer-
ing the PASS (Perfect At-
tendance Spells Success)
Program in Hermiston, 18
local middle school stu-
dents rode away with brand
new bicycles. Students and
their families were invited
to a special event Saturday
at the dealership. The group
enjoyed a family-style bar-
becue, which was put on by
staff at Rogers Toyota.
“Many of the recipients
this year stated that they
had never had perfect atten-
dance before, and that this
program was a huge moti-
vator for them,” said Misty
Davison, Rogers Toyota
administrative
assistant.
“Parents thanked us for
making it easier for them to
get their kids out the door in
the morning.”
The purpose of the pro-
gram, Davison said, is to
teach kids that excellent
attendance isn’t just im-
portant while in school,
but it also will be valuable
in their future as working
adults. Now is the perfect
time to start great behav-
iors.
General manager Glenn
Silaski congratulated each
of the recipients, presenting
them with a certificate, a
bike helmet and a bicycle.
The PASS Program orig-
inated in the Rogers Motors
store in Lewiston in 2006,
giving away 14 bikes in its
inaugural year. This year,
110 students received bicy-
cles through the program in
Lewiston.
In Hermiston, all sixth
graders at Armand Lar-
ive and Sandstone middle
schools were eligible for
the program. While this
was the first year of the
PASS Program for the Rog-
ers Toyota of Hermiston
store, it won’t be the last,
Davison said.
“We will be growing the
program next year, so look
for it at a school near you,”
she added.
