“Anything but a Backpack Day” was held Feb. 1 at Salisbury Middle School. The rules were simple: come to school with your books and laptops but without a backpack. Items that can break, are bigger than a suitcase and/or causes an obstruction in the hallway were prohibited. SMS students used strollers, pet carriers, small containers and other items to tote their school stuff. RIGHT: Salisbury Middle School student Brianna Lopez arrives for school without a backpack.
