Columbia Masonic Lodge donates bikes to promote attendance

By Wes Feese
Media Relations, Adair County School District

Adair County Primary Center students gained an extra incentive to not miss school today with the delivery of six bicycles on behalf Columbia Masonic Lodge No. 96. The bikes will be given to three boys and three girls at the school who finish the year with perfect attendance.



Robert Flowers, who delivered the bikes along with Paul Smith, said the Lodge always likes to be involved in the schools and help kids in any way it can. "We do it because we like kids," Flowers explained. "It's a good way to promote attendance and be involved--it's our pleasure to participate like this."

The donation comes just days before the kickoff of School Attendance Month, in September, and hopes to inspire physical activity as well as the more direct goal: keeping students at school as much as possible.

"Hopefully if a kid wakes up with a little runny nose or something he or she might think about these bikes and decide to come on to school," Flowers says.
