A stroller. A garment bag. A trash bag. A suitcase. A briefcase. A rolling cart. A wagon. For a fun diversion, seventh and eighth-grade students will have the opportunity to carry their school books and supplies in anything other than a backpack on Wednesday, February 2.
Joining in a trend that has been popular on social media recently, students across the country are participating in “Anything But a Backpack Day.” The cost for JA students is $3 to participate. Participation fees will be collected the morning of February 2 by Middle School Council Officers and Representatives outside. All proceeds will go to CARA (Community Animal Rescue and Adoption). CARA’s volunteers and employees take care of homeless animals. They help animals receive veterinary care, food, shelter, socialization, and other assistance. Fifth and sixth-grade students will wear animal-themed shirts and T-shirts on the same day.
