Teague Elementary School third graders got early Christmas gifts on Monday when each one was presented with a new bike and helmet.

The surprise was the result of donations by Celebration Church, which purchased the bikes, and the Fresno Fire Chief’s Foundation, which donated the helmets.

Ninety-three bikes were donated by the church to the Central Unified School District campus.
