In February, the 6th grade students of St. Mary's Academy in Baldwinsville listened to the story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes during their library class. This is a true story about Sadako Sasaki, a young Japanese girl who develops leukemia after the atomic bomb was dropped in her hometown of Hiroshima. Japanese legend says that if you make a thousand paper cranes, you will be granted a wish. The students are donating 1000 paper cranes that they made and chose to offer the cranes to GCH patients as an offering of peace and hope.

Sunny Faces

Twenty-one students in Karen Tashkovski's Art-8 course at Chittenango Middle School created these bright sun sculptures! They began with a sketch, then cut a circle from foam board and added aluminum foil or more board for the rays, and newspaper and masking tape to complete the armature. They could make them as big as they wanted. Next, the project was covered in plaster of Paris. Celluclay, a paper pulp, was used to create the faces, which represent a variety of emotions. The suns were finally covered in tissue paper adhered with Mod-Podge. Glitter and jewels were added for a bit of whimsy.

Sunny Faces will be on display through March 31, 2011.
