Name: Sheila Campbell on Aug 14, 2002State: FLCountry: USComments: My son in fifth grade has to carry all9 textbooks and binder etc. to school every day because there is no storage or lockers for the students. Son couldn't even fit all the books in his backpack and had to carry two of them. Naturally he came home exhausted with a backache. Will be writing the principal there tomorrow and hope he can find a solution.Flag
