Two second graders at Jennings Elementary School in Colfax are proud owners of new bicycles.

Second grade teacher Bev Stubbers said the two students were chosen using specific criteria for reading achievement. Second grade teacher Lori Brown also accompanied students to the presentation. Henry said this is the third year bikes have been given to students.
