CLICK ON THE LINKSTO SEE A BIT OF OUR PERFORMANCE

The fourth graders have all read the very touching story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. It is an historical fiction book about a real little girl, Sadako Sasaki, who lived with her family when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War Two. The story takes place a few years later when Sadako develops leukemia due the radiation lingering the air after the bomb. It teaches so many deep lessons about courage, hope, peace and strength.

To enrich this experience further,we spend a day with two talented artists who teach the students music and dances that relate the story and theme. This comes to us thanks to TESPTO.

Our class will perform along with Ms. Scott's class on Monday, June 1st. Students should wear black pants or shorts, sneakers and a white top.

We hope you are able to attend this heartwarming show. Parents should arrive at 2:00.
