Picnic Backpacks Galore!

What is necessary now a days in a BASIC backpack for school? ?

I work in a NON profit and we give to some of our clients (the ones in most financial need) some backpacks for their children) it is basic stuff, but what are some of the items REALLY necessary for elementary school age backpacks.

For elementary school kids: lined paper (probably wide ruled would be best), a simple box of crayons or colored pencils (small boxes, they don’t need 64 different crayons), scissors, and some pencils.

For teenagers: college ruled paper, mechanical pencils, extra lead, and pens (probably red, blue, and black)

Also you could get a simple one-dollar pencil case, a few folders, and maybe a few binders if you can. An extra eraser is helpful but not absolutely needed. Highlighters can be given but they are not necessary, as most teachers will let students underline as oppose to highlight.

Hope this helped, I tried to list just the bare necessities. Good luck.
