My Project

These red backpacks will be helpful for all students and staff at our school because they'll have a uniform look. Everyone will know what the safety backpack looks like having everyone use the same bag. Having the same bag will be helpful for those who aren't in the building daily. These individuals can leave a note that easily identifies what the Safety Backpack looks like and where to find it in the classroom. We currently have teachers using a variety of different color backpacks. If we were to receive the new bags, everyone would have the same bag and be more uniform.
