Lifting the Burden off Children and Schools
Sunday, April 15, 2012

WHO? Children, Schools and Families around the planet.
WHAT? Have children leave backpacks at home this day.
WHEN? Friday, May 4th. 2012
WHERE? Everywhere!
WHY? To literally lift the burden off children and schools.

Back Pack Free Friday draws awareness to the importance of children’s foundational care – sleep, hydration, nutrition, and exercise – in their daily lives. Students do not work or socialize well with others when they are tired and hungry. Add to this a pack of heavy books on their back. This is the day we say children’s health matters and we are taking action to support them.

Back Pack Free Friday Campaign is coordinated by Parenting 2.0, an international consciousness movement that aims to effect positive change in every avenue of human interaction by advocating a more proactive educational process for foundational life skills. Parenting 2.0 on LinkedIn is the top ranked parenting group with nearly 2000 members in over forty countries.
