Completely serious about the backpack weight! Jared's backpack weighed 22 pounds once. At the beginning of this school year, his backpack weighed 18 pounds. On top of that, he still had extra books and notebooks in his arms. It was crazy!

Also, you can easily include children's artwork using 8 1/2" x 11" regular page protectors. This idea was shared by Scrapper100. Fabulous idea that proves the obvious isn't always that obvious to everyone. :) Thanks, Scrapper!
