Sames for Education: McAllen Students with Perfect Attendance Eligible to Win Ford Escape

McAllen ISD students with perfect attendance will have the chance to win a brand-new Ford Escape, thanks to a partnership between the district and Sames Auto Group through the Sames for Education program.

McAllen ISD Students Can Win a Car for Perfect Attendance

In an exciting initiative to promote consistent school attendance, McAllen ISD students now have the chance to win a brand-new Ford Escape. The program, called Sames for Education, is being brought to the Rio Grande Valley for the first time by Sames Auto Group, which aims to reward students who prioritize their education by attending school every day.

Sames McAllen Ford, a local dealership and part of the Sames Auto Group, will be raffling off a Ford Escape as part of the inaugural giveaway at the end of the school year. This initiative aligns with the group’s commitment to supporting education and encouraging students to show up to school regularly.

Supporting Education Through Attendance

“We are huge proponents of education, and this is one way in which we will give back to the community,” a representative from Sames Auto Group said. “We want to encourage students to attend school every day.”

The giveaway serves as both a reward for students with perfect attendance and a motivational tool to help reduce absenteeism across McAllen ISD. Regular attendance is crucial for academic success, and the district hopes this initiative will make a positive impact on students’ commitment to attending classes.

How Students Can Enter

The program is simple: McAllen ISD students with perfect attendance during each six-week grading period will receive a voucher from their high school. These vouchers are eligible for the Ford Escape raffle and can be dropped off at the Sames McAllen dealership in a designated raffle box​.

At the end of the school year, all eligible vouchers will be collected, and the lucky winner of the Ford Escape will be announced. The student chosen will drive home a brand-new car—a significant prize for demonstrating dedication to their education throughout the school year.

Encouraging Daily School Attendance

School attendance plays a critical role in students’ academic achievements, and McAllen ISD hopes this partnership with Sames Auto Group will create excitement among students about attending school consistently. The opportunity to win a car adds an extra layer of motivation for students to focus on their education and show up every day.

Conclusion: A Win-Win for Students and the Community

Programs like Sames for Education showcase how businesses can work hand-in-hand with local school districts to promote education and foster a sense of responsibility among students. By offering such an incredible incentive, McAllen ISD and Sames Auto Group hope to reinforce the importance of daily attendance while giving back to the community in a meaningful way.

With the chance to win a Ford Escape, students in McAllen ISD have a powerful reason to aim for perfect attendance—and the potential to drive away with a life-changing reward.
