Preparing For A New Year By Thien Transqu | Kennedy Key Club Hello Key Clubbers! It’s August and it’s that time of the year where we have to prepare for school! We may have some difficulty adjusting back to school because of the pandemic, but it doesn’t mean we can’t have a fun school year! Here are some ways you can get ready for school this year. 1. Get your school supplies! It is always important to prepare for school in advance. I’m sure many people use mechanical pencils, so stock up on lead and a brand new binder! Old binders get worn out over the year and may break if you use it for a second year. Make sure to refill your lined paper because many people tend to forget to restock and ask to borrow a friend’s. Especially if you are taking IB or any science classes next year, I recommend buying those 5-subject notebooks to get ready for huge amounts of notetaking! Highlighters and sticky notes are very useful for annotating passages for any class as well. 2. New Clothes! Many students enjoy showing off their new fashion sense and refreshening their image for the new school year. If you are having P.E. make sure to pack another set of tennis shoes to run in. Prepare money for P.E clothes as well. Last year, some students were reported to the principal for wearing clothes that didn’t pass school rules, so make sure to always wear school appropriate clothes.
