Gifts were given out to students from Putnam Elementary and Cooley Elementary.

Khalid, who calls El Paso home, was on hand to surprise the students.

The goal was to “ensure we keep the spirit of Christmas alive for local children that might otherwise go without a gift to open this holiday season,” said a news release sent out to media.
