Ipoly Cranes for

On January 12th, IPoly Key Club held a Cranes For Cancer service event! This event was held in support of Cranes For Cancer, an organization that aims to uplift cancer patients by giving them paper cranes, which symbolize hope and healing. They draw inspiration from the old Japanese tradition that says 1,000 paper cranes bring good luck. During lunch, members gathered in our advisor, Ms. Pellegrini’s classroom, where we had paper available in a diversity of colors and patterns. Some came already knowing the folds, while others did not, but by assisting each other, and watching some video tutorials, many members became learned origami experts in no time. General member, Rena Ko, said: “I really enjoyed [the event], even though I don’t have much experience with origami.” In just an hour, we produced a beautiful collection of paper cranes that we hope brings good luck and health to its recipients.
