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.

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!

“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.
