Brianna Davis was all smiles on Sunday as she wheeled a mountain bike from Parker Toyota to her dad's vehicle.

The Athol Elementary sixth-grader earned her new wheels.

Davis was among 220 students - fifth-graders in the Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls school districts and sixth-graders at Lakeland - who had perfect attendance and weren't tardy during the school year.

Students were rewarded with new bikes and helmets and treated to lunch with their families in the seventh year of the program co-sponsored by Parker Toyota, Parker Subaru and Horace Mann Insurance.

"It was easy because of Mr. (Lloyd) Moe," said Davis, referring to her perfect attendance. "He encouraged me."

Bikes were given out at the Toyota dealership in Coeur d'Alene and the Subaru firm in Post Falls.

Davis said the timing for a new bike is perfect because she's outgrowing her other one and it has tire problems.

"I think this is pretty awesome," she said of her Huffy Granite bike. "I think it will last me a long time as long as Matt (brother) doesn't use it."

Davis' father Stan said it's nice that local businesses sponsor a program that encourages kids to stay in school.

"Parker Toyota has always seemed to be connected with the community," Davis said. "New bikes help the parents as well as the kids."

Doug Parker of the auto dealerships enjoyed watching the students' expressions with Poacher III, a labrador, by his side. A steady stream of families thanked Parker.

"It's as much fun for us as it is the kids," Parker said. "These kids worked hard. It's a big deal for us, and we enjoy doing it."

Camy Popiel of Horace Mann said 46 bikes were given out the first year, and the number increases every year due to the awareness. This year's number increased by 52 over last year.

"It goes up every year, but it never has by 52," she said. "I had to go out and get more."

Hayden Riggs, who just finished at Ramsey Elementary and earned a bike, said perfect attendance has been a goal of his since he became aware of the program last year when he saw it on a poster.

Riggs said he had a few close calls - due to others in his family.

"My little sister almost made me late; we were like one minute away," he said.

Riggs' dad Jeremy also recalls getting a flat tire one day that made him sweat about the streak.

Bike recipients Sophia Konrath and Kathryn Murray, both of Dalton Elementary, said they had a few headaches, but were glad they toughed it out because they were in need of new bikes.

Murray is the only sibling out of five in her family to achieve perfect attendance to earn a bike.

"I outgrew my other bike and my knees almost were hitting the handles," she said. "This one is comfortable."

Riggs said he likes he design of his new ride.

"Thank you, Mr. Parker," he said.
