This year we have a lot of kids who are new to using lockers, so it got me thinking, What do students prefer, to carry their things around in their backpacks or use lockers. I decided to speak with a few students to get their input.
Eighth grader Cristian Rodriguez said he prefers to use his locker to store his books because it makes his backpack less heavy.
Eighth grader Judah Sharp said he likes to use his backpack he can get to places faster instead of having to stop by his locker between every period.
Gabriel Garcia, who is in 8th grade, felt similarly to Cristian. He said he prefers to use his locker because it makes his backpack lighter, and he needs it to store his backpack for Athletics.
7th grader Estrella Martinez says she prefers using her backpack because she likes being able to just reach into her backpack instead of having to walk all the way to her locker.
Whether you prefer your locker or your backpack for storing your materials, it’s good to have options!
