The La Paloma TMC Migrant Head Start Program got a special visit Thursday morning as Saint Nick himself arrived on a steel reindeer… motorcycle that is. The Magic Valley Riders Motorcycle Club roared into the school grounds at about 10 a.m. to hand out stuffed animals and goodie bags to all the children at the center. This is the second year that the club (whose vision is to help the less fortunate) donates to the children that come from low income migrant families. Santa and his Club Members (MVR) spent the morning passing out gifts, singing, and dancing with all the children and parents. (Courtesy photos)
