6th grader Antonio won the best prize on Carrigan’s Wheel of Perfect Attendance – a ride to school in a WHPD Police car! Carrigan’s SRO Officer Fink rewarded Antonio with a sweet ride to school complete with enough lights and sirens to make Mr. Weber jump during morning bus duty! Carrigan students with perfect attendance from month to month have a chance at spinning the wheel for some great prizes including a cafeteria treat, a night off from homework, or even passes to a WHHS sporting event.
