Rapper Meek Mill showed up at his alma mater, James G. Blaine Elementary School in Philadelphia, on the morning of Aug. 29, to give out backpacks and surprise the kids just in time for the back-to-school season.
According to TMZ, Meek Mill teamed up “with Puma, sports apparel Fanatics, United Legwear and Philly’s luxury store Milano Di Rogue to donate more than 6,000 backpacks to students in the city.”
TMZ also reported that the backpacks have three different types, respectively for elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools students. The supplies within include pencil sharpeners, rulers, glue sticks and crayons for kids, with dry erase markers, notebooks, and pens for high schoolers.
