Gainesville Exploration Academy students wait to receive their new bicycles and helmets Friday morning from Academy Sports + Outdoors representatives. Fifty students with a perfect attendance record for the school year were awarded after a drawing.
More than 40 new bicycles — some orange and black, others pink and white — were lined up in the Gainesville Exploration Academy gym. One by one, more than 40 students entered the gym, mildly puzzled expressions on their faces. Little did they know, each student would walk out with a new bicycle in tow.
