(Laredo, Texas)-United ISD’s hosted their 5th annual Press Conference to kick off the Kia in the Klassroom Program at Sames Kia Auto Center at 6621 San Dario Rd. Students from John B. Alexander High, Lyndon B. Johnson High, United High, and United South High were all in attendance to kick off the event.
“Attending school is the key to success and Kia in the Klassroom Program provides the perfect vessel for our students to stay motivated to come to school,” said Ernesto Sandoval, Principal of John B. Alexander High School.
The Sames Kia in the Klassroom Program was created in 2013 to encourage the importance of daily school attendance, at the high school level, throughout the school year. Each time a student has perfect attendance during a nine-week period, they will be given a special voucher to drop off at the Sames Kia Dealership. This voucher will be entered into the drawing for a 2018 Kia Niro. The program is open to all students enrolled in United ISD high schools.
A total of 16 semi-finalists, four from each high school, will be selected for the final phase of the give-a-way. The other 15 semi-finalists will receive a smart device, courtesy of Sames Auto Group.
To commemorate the 5th Annual Kia in the Klassroom Program, Sames Auto Group and United ISD have partnered together to make this year especially exciting for our students. This surprise is exclusive for this school year and will serve as a special memento for one lucky high school student.
The winner of the 2017-2018 Kia in the Klassroom will receive a brand new 2018 Kia Niro. The Niro is Kia’s most recent addition to the Kia family. The small hybrid crossover is not only fuel efficient, but also has a sleek exterior making it one of Kia’s desirable vehicles.
Both Laredo Federal Credit Union and A& K Driving School have committed to continue their support this program. The winner of this year’s Kia Niro will also have the tax, title and license paid for by the Laredo Federal Credit Union. A& K World Class Driving Class will offer a driver’s education package to the winner.
“On behalf of our Board of Trustees, I sincerely thank Sames Kia for offering this great incentive to our students. It’s a wonderful partnership that we want to continue to have for many, many years to come,” said United ISD Superintendent Roberto J. Santos.
