Seawell Elementary School’s Family Outreach Team and PTA have teamed up to conduct “Change and Cranes for Japan†through April 19.
The school’s art teacher, Annie Cramer, along with parents and students from Japan, are making 1,000 origami paper cranes to send to Japan as a symbol of hope. Students have learned the symbolism of the paper crane and the side effects of radiation exposure by reading Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes.
The school will also host a change drive, and proceeds will be sent to the Red Cross.
