Bags with Our Belongings

The children at Steward School were presented with a challenge. They were asked to bring all of their belongings in a brown paper bag rather than their backpacks on Founder's Day, January 14. This experience simulated what it felt like to move on opening day from Proctor to the doors of Steward School on Perkins Row. Many children expressed that this was frustrating when their bags were breaking and their handles were falling off. There was even more frustration around the fact that it was very challenging to find a brown paper bag to bring to school in the first place
