The students were in for a treat as Obama arrived\u2062 bearing gifts and wearing\u200c a Santa \u200dhat.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOh, my God,\u201d a\u200d young student exclaimed upon\u200c seeing\u200c the former \u200dpresident, according to the Chicago-Sun Times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Obama had a sack of \u200bpresents slung over his back, just like \u200bSanta Claus, and he made sure\u2062 that all\u2063 20 children in the classroom received a gift. Not only that,\u200b but the entire school was also gifted with winter accessories.<\/p>\n<p>But the surprises didn&#8217;t end \u2064there. Obama took the time\u2064 to read the\u2063 students a\u200d Christmas book called Santa\u2019s Gotta Go. The children were captivated by\u200d the story, and at one point, Obama himself was \u2064shocked and exclaimed,\u200d \u201cHe called \u2062Mrs. Claus &#8216;babe&#8217;!\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cFor him to take the time to come here out of his busy\u200c schedule to read a book, it just shows that he is still a \u2064leader,\u201d said\u2063 longtime Parkside \u200cteacher Debra Gardner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The visit had a profound impact \u200con \u200cthe students. Parkside Principal Tori \u200cWilliams-Hughes\u200d expressed, \u200d\u201cIt\u2019s a little\u2064 new to \u2064them to really understand the magnitude of \u200cwho he is and what he\u2019s done for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d Obama Foundation\u2062 chose the school for the visit due \u200bto its\u200b proximity to\u200c the future\u200d Obama \u200dPresidential Center, currently under construction. Both\u200b Barack and Michelle Obama have strong connections to Chicago, with Michelle growing up there and Barack spending time in the city as a community organizer and university student.<\/p>\n<h3>Read more:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barack Obama pleasantly surprised preschoolers in Chicago, reading a Christmas book and presenting gifts.
