Laredo's International Bank of Commerce surprises some students at a local elementary with a visit from Santa!
Children at Roosevelt Elementary were overjoyed to see jolly St. Nick walk into their classroom. He brought gifts for some students, while the kids joined in on some Christmas carols.
A counselor at the school, Frank Sardbia, says it's great to see the smiles on kids' faces: "They [IBC] chose our school, because our school has a demographic where we have a lot of needy families. So, we're very grateful they stopped by and provided some presents for our very deserving children."
The event was made possible by IBC.
