Media Advisory: Lake Shore Middle School Performance
WHO:
Students of Lake Shore Middle School
WHAT:
The students of Lake Shore Middle School will put on a performance of "1,000 Cranes." The play tells the story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who developed leukemia after the atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, Japan. While in the hospital, Sadako’s best friend visited her and cut paper into a square and folded it into a paper crane. There is a Japanese saying that one who folds 1,000 cranes is granted a wish. And so, Sadako set the goal of folding 1,000 paper cranes, wishing for better health.
This free performance is part of the school’s community and service requirement. Students will send all of the paper cranes they created to the Children’s World Peace Monument that was erected in Sadako’s honor in Hiroshima. The goal is to create 2,000 cranes, with 1,000 being sent to the World Peace Monument and 1,000 to the World Trade Organization Peace Memorial.
