Per­fect Atten­dance
Brian Boyle is a per­fect stu­dent. The sub­ur­ban Philadel­phia teenager has never missed a day of school in 13 years. The newly minted Unionville High School grad got a gold star tro­phy for his per­fect atten­dance from the dis­trict super­in­ten­dent. Brian says he’s headed to the Uni­ver­sity of North Car­olina in Wilm­ing­ton to study busi­ness in the fall.

New Grad Gets Car For Per­fect Atten­dance
A new grad­u­ate of Arm­wood High School in Seffner, Florida, got a new set of wheels for not miss­ing a day of school dur­ing the final semes­ter. Brenna McPhee’s name was drawn from a pool of 200 eli­gi­ble stu­dents for a key that may – or may not – unlock the grand prize of the Per­fect Car for Per­fect Atten­dance event at Toy­ota of Tampa Bay Sat­ur­day. “I’m kind of in shock,” the 17-year-old grad­u­ate said. She turns 18 tomor­row. Six stu­dents before McPhee unsuc­cess­fully tried to unlock the 2012 Scion xD. McPhee will go to Florida Gulf Coast Uni­ver­sity, where she received a full aca­d­e­mic schol­ar­ship to study biol­ogy. She said her cur­rent car, a Ford Focus with a man­ual trans­mis­sion, will be passed along to her sister.
