Grade 4 Class Working Toward ‘1,000 Paper Cranes’ Service Project Goal
The class is completing 1,000 paper cranes for display in the COVID-19 unit at Kaiser Permanente in Anaheim over the holidays, as a symbol of hope inspired by a Japanese legend.
A grade 4 class is working on an ambitious service project this week, completing 1,000 paper cranes before the Christmas break for display in the COVID-19 unit at Kaiser Permanente in Anaheim over the holidays.
The project was initiated by grade 4 student Yumi Yeh. She read the book Sadako and the 1000 Cranes and shared the story with her classmates about Sadako Sasaki, a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor who aspired to fold 1,000 paper cranes while hospitalized at the age of 12. Sadako’s goal was inspired by a Japanese legend that promises a granted wish to anyone who folded 1,000 paper cranes.
These days, 1,000 paper cranes are often given to a person who is ill, and the grade 4 class took the initiative to do just that for people battling COVID-19. The class, taught by Lindsay Neuhausen and Jennifer Cuda, have worked hard toward their goal, making cranes during recess, at home and during free moments in the school day.
“Our students aspire to demonstrate hope and inspiration to patients and healthcare workers through these 1,000 paper cranes they’ve worked so hard on,” Mrs. Neuhausen said. “We are proud of their determination to get this done in time for the holidays.”
