Anything but a backpack day

Orbit Students' Council called for this special day where students were encouraged to leave their backpacks at home and bring their school supplies in a different type of container, such as a reusable grocery bag, a tote bag, or a small suitcase.  This light-hearted activity raises awareness of challenges of students around the world who walk miles to school, carrying their books and supplies in their hands because they cannot afford a backpack.
