This event was a thank you by the Fairfax County Police Dept. Motor Squad in appreciation to students, staff and the GBE Community for the toys and gifts that were so generously donated. These gifts will be received by children who are in Georgetown Hospital’s Lombardi Cancer Center and at Fairfax Hospital. Thank you to all for making this project a great success.
Our students had no idea why we were outside!
What is going on? Police on motorcycles? Is this a parade??
These officers were the first to arrive at the school. They were all smiles and the kids were still wondering what was going on.
Santa arrives in style!
Santa and his elf strike a pose.
Shear joy shows on all the faces.
Oh my goodness! Look who's here!!
Rudolph!!!
I can't believe I'm meeting Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Mrs. Claus enjoyed visiting with the students.
Santa asked if these two were good this year. Of course they were!
Mrs. Claus and her elf enjoyed visiting on this amazing sunny day.
Police officers spoke with the children and handed out candy canes.
Rudolph plays some reindeer games with the kids.
Students lined the sidewalks in front of the school.
The Specialists were happy to see Santa too and enjoyed watching how happy the students were.
Santa, his helpers, and GBE Administrators posed for a quick photo.
Mrs. Claus gives great hugs.
Mrs. Kidd and Santa's Elf share a hug. Santa's Elf was once a patient at Georgetown Hospital and has helped with Santa's Ride ever since. This gives Santa's Ride a personal touch.
All good things must come to an end. It's on to the next stop. Did you know Santa's Ride visits four places a day?
Goodbye Santa! We hope you come back next year!!
