Pack Your Bag
Don’t forget to prepare for a full day of school! Throw your essentials is your bag and you’ll be ready to go. Some of our necessities are:
- Hair Elastics: You’ll be on your feet a lot and it’s nice to keep your hair up so you can focus on your work. Scrunchies, barrettes and elastics are stylish ways to get those locks out of your face.
- Snacks: Class can be long and you want to make sure to keep your energy up! Nuts, fruit, and granola bars are all mess-free and simple snacks that will keep you going all day.
- Lotion: Practicing means getting your hands dirty and washing your hands can really dry them out. Hand lotion is a must!
Take Notes in Style
