8 Essential Back to School Items for Your Little Lion

It’s hard to believe that it is already time to start thinking about back to school shopping. As a kid, few things brought me more joy than picking out new school supplies, clothing, and of course a new backpack each August. The end of summer was always a time filled with excitement and anticipation as I prepared to start a new year in a new grade.

This year Lions Pride can help take the stress out of your final days of summer and assist you with your back to school shopping. To make the end of summer more enjoyable for your whole family, we have compiled a list of essential items for your little Nittany Lion as they head back into the classroom. Our locally-owned State College retail store is truly your one-stop back to school shop. So, take a deep breath, relax and shop from the comfort of your own home for these must-have items for fall. All products pictured are also available at Lions Pride’s downtown location.

            8. Penn State Lanyard


    Lions Pride has a large selection of lanyards which are perfect for holding keys and displaying school IDs. Your little lion will be thrilled to show his/her Penn State pride each day wearing one of the store’s many designs.
