BACK-TO-SCHOOL REMINDER
For back to school remember to keep in mind backpack weight. A
child should not be carrying any more weight than 10-15% of their own body weight. A couple of simple ways to keep the weight down are, sort though their backpack each morning to see what can be left at home. Also, when packing the backpack, put heavier items at the bottom, keeping them closer to the back and keeping the strain off the shoulders and upper back.
