Students Form Fundraiser to Support Japan


On March 14 Sturgis students formed “Cranes for a Cause” to help support Japan’s relief efforts as its people recover and rebuild from last week’s devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Ten students met at lunch on Monday, March 14 and began "Cranes for a Cause" to help support the earthquake relief efforts in Japan.

The students met during lunch on Monday and quickly decided on a fundraiser based on the ancient Japanese legend that maintains that anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish or the ability to recover from accident or injury.  The students decided that they will fold a 1,000 paper cranes, which will be displayed in the school’s front window.
