CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Christmas came early for hundreds of students at West Oso’s JFK Elementary.
Nate's Next Kid Up stopped by the elementary school to deliver toys Tuesday.
The non-profit, which helps raise money for children in the foster care system, chose the school as its "give back" project.
Founder Nate Gonzalez was on-hand to give out the toys, dressed up as the Jolly Old Man himself – Saint Nick.
"They're all happy,” said JFK Elementary Principal Roxie Martinez. “And you can see by the smiles on their faces they’ve had a great morning and all the magic of Christmas happening today.”
More than 500 kids were given a gift at the giveaway, and In the Game Funtrackers also handed out passes to students.
