Jackson Free Press

I remember the first day of kindergarten when my mom packed my red Hello Kitty backpack. Stuffed with all the essentials I needed, I toted the bag proudly down the street to the bus stop. Nowadays, my backpack is more orderly and grown-up with a refillable water bottle, notebooks, ID case, pens and other goodies.

For the first day of school, you need to be prepared with all the basics to get you through the day without a hitch. With these simple ideas, your first anxious day of class will go swimmingly.
