🎒 New Classroom Activity!

Teachers, give your students a fun way to kick off the new school year! Pack Your Backpack for a Great Year is a simple activity that helps students think about the qualities, goals and positive habits they want to carry with them into the year ahead.

Students cut out a backpack and school supplies, then fill them in with things like friendship, creativity, hard work and ways they can take care of themselves.

A fun, meaningful activity to help your classroom start the year on a positive note! ✨

👉 Download the activity and add it to your first-week plans.

Facility crews can find guidance on properly flushing school water systems here: https://deq.nd.gov/leadinschools/default.aspx
