A
successful community partnership continues with the announcement of the 2015-16
“Make the Grade” program. Together, the
Office of the Mayor, the Manchester School District and AutoFair unveiled at city
high schools the initiative that recognizes academic achievements. “Make the Grade,” a public-private
partnership between the City of Manchester, AutoFair, NTB Bank, Manchester
School District and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, also enhances the spirit of
community commitment.
This
is the fifth year “Make the Grade”
will award a brand new car to a junior or senior high school student who earns honor
roll status the first, second and third quarters of the academic year. Next
spring, the winning student will receive a 2015 Honda Civic. AutoFair brought
it to each school today so that students could see for themselves the car that
could be theirs.
“The
Manchester School District and the City are excited to continue the partnership
with Autofair to recognize the accomplishments of our local high school
students,” said Mayor Gatsas. “It is our
hope that once again ‘Make the Grade’
will add a spark of excitement to the school year and drive students to work
even harder to excel.”
Juniors
and seniors enrolled at Manchester High School Central, Manchester High School
West, Manchester Memorial High School, and Manchester School of Technology are
eligible for multiple chances to win the Honda donated
by AutoFair. The car will be given away
to the lucky student at a New Hampshire Fisher Cats game on June 10, 2016.
An
additional prize is included in this year’s contest: The school with the
highest percentage of eligible students registered in the Make the Grade program will win $500 to help pay for its 2016 prom
expenses.
“The
‘Make the Grade’ program has been a
huge success, and we are proud to help set the bar that motivates students to
strive for better grades,” said Andy Crews, CEO of AutoFair Dealerships. “The
best part is seeing the joy on the face of the student who holds the key that
starts the car.”
“Every
student who achieves excellence deserves recognition for a job well done, and ‘Make the Grade’ is a fun way to do
that,” said Dr. Debra Livingston, Superintendent of Schools. “We thank AutoFair
for its generous investment in our students.”
