Students gathered outside of Herff Elementary School Thursday morning for what was orchestrated to look like a bicycle safety seminar.
But it was all a ruse to set up a special surprise for a special second-grader.
David Cortez, 7, was born with no arms and while he's learned to do quite a lot with his feet, there is one thing he can't do.
Cortez can't ride a bike -- or at least he couldn't, before Thursday.
Herff Elementary School Principal Traci Smith gathered all of the students, who were in on the surprise, cheered as Cortez's name was drawn in a rigged raffle for a bike helmet.
When Cortez told Smith he didn't have a bike to ride, Smith said, 'Oh yes, you do!"
That's when a special modified bicycle was revealed and met with a big smile from a grateful child.
