Anything but a Backpack Day
A huge thank you to the Stanley County Student Council who suggested a wonderful creative event that we could all take part in; just for fun!! Backpacks while extremely functional have a tendency to be quite similar and uninteresting.
Thus, the student council is declaring Wednesday, January 26 as ‘Anything but a Backpack Day’. On Wednesday students are encouraged to:
Get creative! Use your imagination! What can you use instead of your backpack? Leave those backpacks at home!
