Schmidt Notes

All health records are due in now as I have to file the report with the state immediately.

HEALTH TIPS

According to the Kansas City Star, a back pack's weight should not exceed 10 to 15 percent of the child's weight, and should never exceed 20 lbs.

Load the heaviest items at the back of the pack, closest to the child's back.

Hand carry some items or use a pack on wheels if pack is too heavy.

Use both shoulder straps to avoid curving spine, causing pain

Adjust straps so pack fits snugly

Wear waist belt, if pack has one, to distribute weight more evenly

Bottom of back pack should not rest more than 4 inches below waistline.
