Before the rack was donated, backpacks were often scattered around on the ground, creating clutter and potential safety hazards.

With the new rack in place, transitions between activities are smoother, and students are able to access their materials quickly and efficiently.\r\n\r\nStudent reactions to the backpack rack have been full of appreciation and excitement.
