Seniors:

Alyssa Neff

A crumpled dance audition flier, notebook full of choreography, and sports bra give some pretty clear insight into Alyssa Neff’s (12) interests. Being a member of the Inspire Dance Company and having taken dance classes since she was four years old, she comes to school prepared to boogie. Alyssa’s favorite item is her musical theatre binder, currently on the page of her senior solo song.

Elliott Herlihy

Elliott Herlihy’s (12) backpack contents shows off his close relationship with Inspire. He carries around a bag of unpopped popcorn, graciously grifted from Hawkins Mysterious Snack Drawer, leaflets advertising Inspire student centered community events and opportunities, and a funky fish stamp that was carved in Reynolds’ stamp making enrichment. 

Juniors:

Scout Booth

Scout Booth’s (11) bag contains Speks magnets, a Purple Pages nomination, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby”, and a wallet of K-pop girl group BlackPink. Scout Booth keeps herself organized in an aesthetically pleasing way with a cute color pallet of folders and Production Team papers ready at hand. Her favorite bag item is a ball-filled S cube she carries around with her!

Maddy Hamilton

Maddy Hamilton’s (11) bag pops out at you with a stylized laptop and doodle filled notebooks. She keeps a copy of “The Great Gatsby”, a pack of gum, a red wallet, slime, a computer charger, and a pad for those who need one. Maddy’s favorite item in her bag is her handy keys, holding a gym membership, keychains, and memories from her life.

Sophomores:

Chaz Phillips

Books, binders, and gums galore! Chaz Phillips (10) carries around quite the stack of items, keeping studious and a fresh breath. His most prized possession is a Lego Donald Duck Keychain that lives on the outside of his backpack, a token of the community he shares with his friends.

Lilah White

Lilah White (10) carries around a Pinterest-worthy spread of school supplies. With her cough drops, lip gloss, sunglasses and notebooks, Lilah White is prepared for the school day in a stylish way. Her favorite things on her bag are her keychains; a pink Squishmallow crab (named Shelby), a girl scouts braid, and a monkey yet to be named.

Freshmen:

Cash Watner

One thing you won’t see Cash Watner (9) without is a hat and a good book. When Cash wants to know something on the spot, he’ll just take out one of his books and start from there! He carries around school books, a bandana, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and sunglasses. Cash’s favorite item in his bag is a quote book, a gift from a friend and highly cherished by him.

Kit Limon

Kit Limon’s (9) bag shows off their artsy and caring personality! A school Chromebook, ceramics folder, hair brush, menstrual pads for anyone in need, and hand-written appreciation notes for their teachers! Kits favorite bag item is their Hello Kitty bag, it holds makeup, hygiene products, and the essentials, which is very important to Kit!
