Little PC in the Prairie
Prairie Village students challenge problems with heavy backpacks

Logan presented five weight-reduction options: Getting assignments from e-books or CDs; getting assignments directly from companies and libraries online; printing out assignments from school computers (for those without computers at home); establishing after-hours study halls to use school computers; and using public libraries.
