  • Boyd Elementary Shows off Generous Bike Donations 

    Thursday, Dec 20, 2007 @05:25pm CST

    One of the most memorable gifts for any kids on Christmas is a brand-new bicycle.

    And now every student at Boyd Elementary knows just how it feels to get one.

    Central Assembly of God Church delivered the gifts during an assembly at the school on Thursday.

    Members of the church bought 170 new sets of wheels for boys and girls from kindergarten through fifth grade.

    Church members say they wanted to do their part to promote physical fitness.

    “It was very difficult for me to keep quiet, honestly,” says principal James Grandon.  “We’ve been working on this for almost a year to make all this come together.  And it's been a few key people with a vision and a dream and here's the reality."

    The students also got matching helmets, which were donated by Aaron Sachs and Associates.

    They' showed off the bikes in a short parade down Washington Avenue.
