Paint The Wind by Pam
Munoz Ryan, is a sad and happy
story. Maya is the main character,
with many other characters
supporting the story. Maya lives
with her grandmother on her dad’s
side because her mom and dad have
died. By the fifth or sixth chapter,
Maya has to go live with her
grandfather Moose, great uncle Fig,
and their dog Golly, because her
grandmother has died from a massive
stroke. Maya soon goes to live with
her Aunt Vi, where she learns to
ride a horse named Payton. I would
recommend this book to kids in third
grade through middle school. Third
grade because it is an easy book for
them, but there are some hard
vocabulary words - middle school
because you will want to read a
higher reading level. I loved Paint
the Wind. It was sometimes
emotional, but it was very good! If
you like to read, I would start
reading Paint the Wind by Pam Munoz
Ryan. -Nicole
K. HR 238
Gathering Blue, by Lois Lowry, is a companion to The Giver. Kira,
an orphan with a twisted leg, lives in a world where the weak
are cast aside. She fears for her future until she is spared by
the all-powerful Council of Guardians. Kira is a gifted weaver
and is given a task that no other community member can carry
out. While her talent keeps her alive and brings certain
privileges, Kira soon realizes that she is surrounded by
mysteries and secrets. I enjoyed reading this book, and I think
good readers in the 5th and 6th grade would enjoy this fantasy
as well. If you read The Giver and liked it - you'll like this
one too! -Mrs. Frost, Media Center
“RECYCLE” YOUR OLD EYEGLASSES AND
HELP THE POOR TO SEE
As a special service project, Indian Hill
School is sponsoring a
campaign to collect used
eyeglasses, jewelry, and hearing
aids. The donated glasses will be
brought to New Eyes for the Needy,
a non-profit volunteer
organization whose mission is to
improve the vision of the less
fortunate in the United States and
throughout the world.
A collection box will be located in the Media
Center from
December 15th to December 23rd.
You can donate reusable
eyeglasses; estate or costume
jewelry, including single gold
earrings or broken chains; watches
and hearing aids. Please search
around your home to see what you
can bring to our collection box.
This past year, New Eyes for the Needy paid for new prescription
eyeglasses for 6,800 needy
Americans. In addition, over
350,000 pairs of recycled
eyeglasses were sorted, tested and
shipped to medical missions and
international charitable
organizations in 25 developing
nations.
