Chicora Elementary School students went shopping for their loved ones Friday at a Santa's Workshop event, organized by the parent teacher organization.

In the school gym, gift options, each priced at $1 apiece, were displayed for children to browse. Rows of gifts included everything from puzzles and toolboxes to pet treats and card games.

Children filled their buckets with presents and then chose paper to wrap them.

Students had the opportunity to shop for anyone in their family, said president of the Chicora PTO Elice Rodgers — the items for sale were intended to fit a wide age range, so whether shopping for a grandparent, teenage sibling or young cousin, students could likely find an appropriate gift.

The products are curated by parent volunteers throughout the year, or donated, Rodgers said.
