Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

Hats in Harvard
Whoosh! The cold wind roared through the trees and between buildings.
Winter was on its way. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article
she’d read at school. The article had been about kids who helped out their
communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town,
Harvard.

The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how to help. What did her town
need that a kid could do? In the article, the kids had grown food for people who
needed food, but it was winter. She couldn’t start a garden. Amaya was still deep
in thought when her mom said it was time to go grocery shopping. As they drove
along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk, wearing only light
jackets. How cold they must be, Amaya thought. That gave her an idea! She
could help her town, she could collect winter coats, hats, and gloves for people in
Harvard who needed them. She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it
was a great idea. But how would they spread the word so that they could get a
lot of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she
could share her idea with her classmates at least.

Mrs. Monroe was very supportive when Amaya talked about her idea. She
even said she could help Amaya talk to the principal about it, so they could get
the whole school involved! They decided to call the project “Hats in Harvard,” and
they wrote up a letter explaining the idea to the families. Mrs. Monroe said they
could even have the third graders take a field trip to parks around Harvard where
families in need gathered to drop off the coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya was
excited, and really hoped the principal, Mrs. Brown, would let the school
participate!

Amaya and Mrs. Monroe met with the principal one day during lunch time.
Mrs. Brown was thrilled with the idea, and said, “I would make copies of the letter
and send them home with all the students.” They collected the winter clothing for
a few weeks, then were able to take their field trip to two parks in the area to
leave the clothes where families who needed them could get them.

Three days after their field trip, Amaya and her mom were once again driving
together. She saw the same family walking together that had given her the idea
for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some
new coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya felt a warm glow in her heart, and was very
glad she could help her community.
