3rd trimester and 4th quarter 6th-8th grade art students created a beautiful permanent installation piece made out of origami cranes. Each crane was made from book paper that was saved from the recycling bin. The installation is located in the “young adult” room at the Latzer Memorial Public Library. Mrs. Sellers hopes all of her students goes to visit to take a peek at their beautiful work. Special thanks to Jossilyn Gaffner, Sophie Frey, Jessica Chen, and all of her wonderful art students who helped to create this magical piece.
