NAMPA -- More than 300 third graders who had perfect attendance received brand new bikes and helmets in Nampa.
Tom Scott Toyota has been handing out the free bikes in the Canyon County area for the past five years.
Parents say the free bikes have been a great motivator for their students.
“There are days in the morning where kids don't want to get up for school, and it's that little extra motivation that got her going,” said Kelby Dribnak, a father of a third grader.
Every year the number of bikes Tom Scott Employees hand out has increased.
“Now we're up to about 360 bikes for four different school districts,” said Sara Krantz, with Tom Scott Toyota. “It's my favorite part of the year just to be able to see all their faces and to see how much they've worked and strive for it throughout the year is so rewarding.”
All the money used to purchase the bikes and the helmets came from the dealership's current owner. Third graders from the Nampa, Caldwell, Vallivue and Middleton School Districts all received bikes for not missing a day of school during the 2010 year.
