Beginning in September 2024, the BMS Clever Creasers* folded three shades of purple paper and a silver foil paper to create the peace cranes. Four sides of the mobile contain 900 cranes. A central cascade of 100 more cranes completes the total of 1000 suspended cranes for all to enjoy. Approximately 20 members of the Clever Creasers, and about 65 students in Mr. Waseman’s 8th grade classes participated in this project. PeaceCraneProject.org has acknowledged our project with a Certificate of Participation. We want to thank Mrs. Jecca Starcher, BMS Principal for her support. Additionally, we also thank Mr. Thomas Suppan, BMS Art Teacher and the members of the BMS Art Club.

*The BMS Clever Creasers is an after school club that explores the relationships between Mathematics, Art and Paper folding. Throughout the school year, the Clever Creasers will meet with their peers and create paper mementos of the seasons. Past projects have included an Origami Christmas Tree at Barberton Hospital, Origami Christmas Wreaths for Manor Care residents in Barberton, and Origami floral centerpieces for a local nursing home. Anyone with an interest in paper folding, math, art, or just making new friends is welcome.
