The 11-year tradition is keeping attendance rates up. Principal Amanda Hammond-Williams said the school has the second best attendance in the district.
SAN DIEGO — Instead of class, some students attook a limo ride to Mariposa Ice Cream Wednesday. That's because they had perfect or near-perfect attendance.
“I promised a class one year that I would do a limo ride for them if they had perfect attendance and they took me up on it so I had to follow through," Hammond-Williams said."When I did that one class I realized what a great idea it was.” Those with absences are able to make them up by attending Saturday School. Hammond-Williams said there's about 15 Saturday School sessions in the year.
