Today is National School Backpack Awareness Day! 🎒
A well-worn backpack can help prevent strain and injury, and these simple tips can help your student stay comfortable all year long:
✅ Always wear both shoulder straps
✅ Keep the load at 10-15% of body weight or less
✅ Pack the heaviest items closest to the spine
✅ Tighten straps for a secure, close fit
✅ Choose a bag with padded straps for added comfort

Our next Alumni Spotlight features Keith Frost, who attended Emmetsburg Schools from 1997-2004 and now works as an elementary school DLC instructional assistant. ⭐
Keith shares that some of his favorite teachers inspired him to pursue a career in education. He values how Emmetsburg gives students the drive to succeed while creating lifelong memories and friendships.
One memory that still makes him smile is Mr. Zwart’s lesson about a student searching for a “board stretcher,” which reinforced an important reminder: measure twice, cut once. 🛠️
