Paper Cranes Project
We’re excited to share that A Thousand Cranes is now on display at the MSES Art Plaza! This stunning installation features 1,000 origami cranes, each one carefully folded and decorated by our talented 3rd-5th grade students. Inspired by the Japanese legend that promises a wish to those who fold a thousand cranes, this project embodies our collective hope for peace, unity, and understanding. It’s a powerful testament to the beauty of art collaboration! Coinciding with the International Day of Peace on September 21st and the start of our year-long focus on community building, this installation represents the values of love, kindness, and hope. Through their artwork, our students are making a meaningful contribution to peace.
