ST. PAUL, Minn. -- As kids get ready to return to school, St. Paul's favorite daughter, Suni Lee, stopped by her old elementary school on Thursday.
The Olympic gold medal gymnast delivered supplies to Battle Creek Elementary. She teamed up with Amazon to make a $50,000 donation.
The world-renowned athlete met with students and had chance to talk with former teachers.
