Paco had a great week collecting items for his annual neighborhood Donation Drive! Many things cleaned out of one family’s house can be donated and reused in another. Paco knows how hard it can be to part with items you really like. A long time ago his mom taught him a little trick to help him let go of things he doesn't use anymore while preserving the memory. Just write down why you love it and take a picture for a scrapbook! Check out the picture below to see how one of Paco's Pals cleaned out, donated, and preserved her great memories! "Nice work Maddie," Paco told her. "Think of all the joy that headband will bring to a new owner!"  Are you ready to explore some words that represent caring and have some fun too? Print out the activity sheet below to see how many words you can find in Paco’s latest Word Search!
