Today is National School Backpack Awareness Day.
Due to the growing numbers of children who sustain backpack related injuries, the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) has designated every third Wednesday of September as National School Backpack Awareness Day-a day to educate parents, teachers, educators and kids about the serious health effects resulting from backpacks that are too heavy or improperly worn.
