ROCHELLE — Rochelle Township High School sophomore Kaylie Bargman did not expect to hear her name announced as this year’s car winner.
“I was shocked, I thought my name would never be called,” Bargman said.
Mike Myers presented Bargman the 2007 Saturn Aura following the Renaissance Assembly Friday morning. This year was the 26th for the program that recognizes students for their perfect attendance throughout the year.
Bargman said she looks forward to a car ride with friends Kaylee, Madi, and Kenzie.
Restaurant gift cards, fitness memberships, pizza party, season tickets for Hub athletic events, movie tickets, and a class ring were just some of the items won.
Counselor Laurie Pillen gave a speech to honor Dan Sawicki, who passed away last December. Since the first Renaissance assembly, Sawicki graciously donated a car and presented it to the lucky winner. Pillen spoke about the moment in 1993 when she reached out to Sawicki, who volunteered a car and has every year.
