1st grader Pascal and 199 of his SCCPSS schoolmates get cool bikes from Gateway Terminals LLC

"You get to take away a bicycle today. And courtesy of Gateway Terminals."

Kevin Price: The first year was 10 schools and 100 bikes, and this year in year four were 200 bikes at 15 schools in Savannah.

Pascal:  P-a-s-c-a-l.

Selina Ruth-Gillins: These wonderful students here for me have been present for school every day. Perfect attendance from August 4th to December 1st. And what grade are you?

Pascal: First grade.

Selina Ruth-Gillins: So they were awarded these bicycles for being great students and being in school learning every day.

Pascal: It's been my favorite color and I like the helmet because it looks like a mohawk.

Kevin Price: It's great for us to be able to partner with the school system, to recognize these children for their great achievement. These are all perfect attendance students. So that's one reason. But the smiles on their faces is the real reason we do it.

Pascal: I give it a ten out of ten.

Selina Ruth-Gillins: I think it is an amazing partnership, and it really lends itself to understand that, having the broader community involved is important for education, for our students.
