In West Clayton Elementary School, Miles Norris, a rookie two-way player for the Atlanta Hawks, walks into a classroom carrying a crate overflowing with markers, notebooks and crayons.

The professional basketball player says that this is a great way to get introduced to the community he’ll be playing in.

“It put a smile on my face to see excitement,” said Norris. “You know, it’s just an honor to be here, giving out supplies and seeing the kids and interacting with the kids as well.”
