When I picked Cinzia up from school today, she had an ear-to-ear grin. I thought she was just happy to see me. Then I noticed her Hello Kitty backpack was being dragged along side her and she was covered in shiny new buckles and straps. As was every other kid in her class. Every year, since 1996, second graders at Hidden Valley(and the other four elementary schools in Martinez) are blessed with the gift of a brand new backpack filled with school supplies, a program sponsored by Masonic Lodge #41.
