Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris gave out free backpacks Wednesday to students at ABGS Middle School in Hempstead.
The Dix Hills native, along with his parents, organized the drive complete with colorful book bags, notebooks and note cards with endearing messages.
Before Harris flies to Los Angeles to train with his team, he says he wanted to encourage students to do their best this school year.
Even though the first-round draft pick left college after his freshman year to play in the NBA, Harris says he's back in school too.
Harris says his family is also doing giveaways in Westbury, Wyandanch and Brentwood.
