Bicycle Club and Boca Police deliver holiday surprises

BOCA RATON – A group of children from two Boca Raton elementary schools was surprised recently when they were presented with brand new bicycles.

Six students each from Boca Raton Elementary and JC Mitchell Elementary were chosen to receive the bikes as a gift from the Boca Raton Bicycle Club. The 12 students were randomly selected from a larger group of deserving students.

The Boca Raton Police Services Department’s Crime Prevention Unit helped deliver the bikes and surprised the students. In addition to receiving bicycles, the children also received new helmets and locks.
