⚖️ Keep loaded bags under 10–15% of your child's body weight.
🎒 Wear both straps to distribute weight evenly and avoid strain.
🚸 Choose bright colors or reflective strips for traffic safety.
Help your students lighten the load today! 💙✨

On the right, two circular photos show MPS students wearing clear backpacks. The Montgomery Public Schools logo is at the bottom.
