This year my first graders collected pennies to buy bricks for home improvements for Francisco's home. We call him Pancho because this is a name given to boys named Franciso. They learned a little about Francisco and his country and they collected $18 in pennies. I plan to show Franciso some of their photos. He will get to see his special friends from the USA. One of my kids asked me Friday, if I could bring Pancho back to the USA to visit them!
A big thank you to another teacher at my school who also contributed to Pancho's penny box. Thank you, Mrs. Bartell!
That is a brilliant idea. I think I may try this with my own students (6th graders) next year.

Thanks, Rachel. Another sponsor, Barbara, came up with the idea :) God bless.
