State Representative Nancy Todd and Office Depot store manager Tony Rotella recently presented new backpacks to kindergartners and first graders at Century Elementary School. Todd, a former first-grade teacher, also talked to the students about what it means to be a good citizen.
The backpacks were gifts from the National Backpack Program, started by Office Depot in 2001. Since the start of the program, Office Depot has donated nearly 2 million backpacks nationwide.
