The holiday spirit is alive and well at Cypress Springs Elementary, as the school community comes together to celebrate the generosity of AAS partners, businesses, churches, organizations, anonymous donors, and various CSE supporters who donated a fleet of bikes for the annual bike giveaway.
Since 2018, Cypress Springs has organized the annual bike giveaway to bring joy and excitement to its students during the holiday season. This year, the contributions reached new heights as even a 5th-grade class participated in the giving, donating a bike to add to the festive lineup.
The bikes were given away through a drawing held this past Monday. Each student received a ticket for the drawing, with opportunities to earn extra tickets by embodying the true WildC.A.T.S. spirit – being Courageous, Accountable, Thoughtful, and Supportive.
“Twenty-three bright and shiny bikes lined the main hall for all students to see! Teachers shared that many wished to be the lucky recipients! We are so thankful to all who reminded us that there is pure joy in doing for others. We appreciate our donors for showing our students the true meaning of Christmas! Kindness still exists! And, I am glad about it!” exclaimed Cypress Springs Elementary principal Mrs. Mary Kilgore.
The annual bike giveaway not only brings holiday cheer to the students but also instills valuable lessons about generosity, kindness, and the joy of giving back. It serves as a reminder that the community’s support goes beyond the classroom, fostering a sense of gratitude and connection among students, staff, and donors.
