Alderson Elementary students get gifts right before break

Posted: Updated:

LUBBOCK, Texas -

Christmas came just a few days early for students at Alderson Elementary, thanks to Plains Capital Bank.

Students received a presents ranging from fidget spinners to balls to books. It's to make sure no one goes without during the holidays.

"It's not just Christmas for the students but for the teachers and staff and the grown-ups here," said Mrs. Claus, who did look quite similar to Principal Cicely Alexander. "Just to see the students as they open up their presents and as they see the people coming to deliver the gifts so that part is special as well. You all could have just sent the gifts but y'all hand delivered them and that made it extra special."

This is the 16th year Plains Capital Bank has provided gifts.
