Anything BUT a Backpack Day was a huge hit!
A day full of creativity, laughter, and unforgettable school spirit!
Our students never fail to amaze us — not only do they get the job done, but they’re always up for a challenge! This week was no exception as we held our first annual “Anything BUT a Backpack Day”… and WOW, did our students deliver!
From baskets and buckets to mailboxes, pots & pans, garbage cans, wheelbarrows, golf bags, luggage, pet carriers and so much more — you name it, it came through our doors!
Our elementary students enjoyed unpacking their clever “book carriers” for the day, while our spirited middle schoolers committed fully and traveled from class to class with their creations in tow. Hearing wheels rolling down the sidewalk and peeking out to see laundry baskets, Christmas stockings, and even wheelbarrows being pulled along brought the biggest smile to our faces!
We kicked off the morning with a parade in the Gathering Hall where every idea got its moment to shine, followed by homeroom favorites and even a mini-parade from our littlest learners.
In the end, there were prizes… but even better, there was joy, laughter, imagination, and school spirit everywhere we looked.
Here’s to creativity, fun, and a new tradition that we already can’t wait to bring back next year!
