A group of students at Granada West Elementary were surprised by Santa Claus who brought them their own Care Bears. The heartwarming event was made possible by community donations and a generous anonymous donor.
ABC15's Kaley O'Kelley joined Santa as he surprised students at Granada West Elementary in the Alhambra School District. The surprise visit stemmed from teacher Jill Germroth's wish to get her students their own Care Bears . The class is nicknamed the ' Care Bears ' because they strive to be compassionate and kind. Mrs. Germroth's friend Dee Valadez made her dream come true after rallying the community to donate to the cause.
'There’s something magical about asking for help and seeing how much people want to give,' Valadez said. 'We had an anonymous donor who generously covered the cost of the Care Bears and now the other money collected will help others who need help for Christmas. It’s not just about the presents; it’s about showing these kids and families that they matter, that Santa hasn’t forgotten them.” See the full story in the video player above.
