Cordova High schoolers helped Mt. Eccles Elementary students create handmade gifts for the holidays after school, Tuesday, Dec. 17.

The fee was $1 per craft and drew a considerably larger crowd than the event held on a weekend morning the year prior. A variety of homemade holiday gift stations at CHS allowed youngsters to customize hot-pads, keychains, candles, wood and plastic ornaments, key racks, hot beverage jars and potted plants where budding artists could add artistic details with paint, glitter, markers, and even wood burning tools.
