Backpack Essentials For School

We all know the basics to carry in a backpack for school, but many times we forget the “other” things we should carry.

Lunch box? Check. Scissors? Check. Notebooks? Check. Binders? Check. But what else? What is missing?

While most schools provide a list of what exactly your kids need to be prepared to attend class, there are still a few items that you want to make sure are in that backpack.

Let’s look at a few items that we often overlook when filling up those backpacks.
