One healthy student

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) - June 9, 2010

Graduating high school senior Danique Gigger is both.

She's never missed a day of school since starting kindergarten.

That's more than 2,300 days of perfect attendance over 13 years.

Danique is also the valedictorian for the Class of 2010 at South Kitsap High in Washington state.

It's not that Danique has never had the sniffles.

But she says she's gotten sick at convenient times, like the chickenpox over Thanksgiving break in kindergarten.

She tells a local paper she'll be going to the University of Puget Sound and plans to study journalism.
