Chicago Lawn, Chicago, Ill. —
For her strong school attendance record, Ashley Martinez won a sparkling new Dodge Caliber—a sporty hatchback that starts at about $15,000.
Unfortunately, she needs to wait four years to drive her prize. She's only 12.
"I can wait," the Eberhart Elementary School 7th grader said Monday.
Chicago Public Schools offered the car as part of an effort to boost attendance, which has hovered around 91 percent the last several years, spokesman Frank Shuftan said.
