RAPID CITY, S.D. Every year, the owners of Rapid City’s Westjet Air Center donate a toy to each child at Canyon Lake Elementary School.
Typically, there’s a Christmas party with students and their families, along with first responders and service members on hand to help give out the gifts.
While there won’t be a party this year, Westjet’s owners, Don and Linda Rydstrom, did not want a total break with tradition.
Erin Baur, Dean of Students, said, “Knowing that every kid here is going to have a present for Christmas is something that’s very special, and we’re so so grateful for the Rydstrom family to do this for us. It is such a great Christmas treat for them and we really really appreciate their generous donation.”
