I went around and asked some students and staff members what the most important item in their backpack or bag was. For some, it was hard to think of one thing that was the most important, and for others, it was pretty easy.

What’s the most important thing in your backpack? Students: Ellie Smallbone- “My airpods are very important because I love listening to music throughout the day.” Luci Richter- “The most important thing in my backpack is my pencil because I use almost every class.” Kara Rose- “My hairbrush because I use it a lot in the school day.” Hallie Eckert- “My laptop is the most important because I use it in most of my classes.” Ashlyn Allen- “The most important thing in my backpack is my lanyard because I can’t get into school without it.”

Teachers: Coach Mike- “My nutella or my Tennessee Vols laptop.” Sonja Shelton- “My rhode lip gloss is the most important thing in my bag.” Sarah Moore- “Usually my computer because I use it every class.”
