As the new school year approaches, it's time to gather the essentials. A well-stocked backpack should include a variety of colorful pens and pencils, notebooks of different sizes, and a few favorite books. Don't forget a basketball for recess and a paper airplane for a fun break. A good desk lamp can provide the right lighting for late-night studying. With these basics, students can stay organized and focused throughout the year. Whether you're heading to elementary school or college, having the right supplies can make all the difference. Stay prepared and make this school year your best yet.
