Good news for all students, especially Origami lovers, this year in Rosemont Middle School, the Origami club is currently searching for students to join their club. The club is located at Mrs. Monaco’s room, 1314. Meetings are going to be on every Monday, at lunch.
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding – with one sheet of paper, you can create fine sculptures that are two or three dimensional. In Japan, it was originally for the decoration of temples and shrines, but these days, it’s considered a meticulous hobby and activity.
The two founders of the Origami club, Rory Brookbank and Floyd Hassler, met with the Spartan Scroll to introduce their new Origami club.
Through an Origami book that one of Floyd Hassler’s mom’s friend’s got him, he took interest in Origami ever since he was little, and continues to enjoy the hobby in middle school. His interest and passion toward Origami led him to share his leisure activities with other people by making a club in Rosemont Middle School. The Origami club is planning to create Origami art for the season, decorate the school and the classroom, make gifts, and have contests.
As a quick introduction, Rory Brookbank explained they want their club to be a place for people to have fun and take interest in paper art, and to be proud of their results after the activity. The club members can take their Origami home.
The Origami club welcomes students that are totally new to Origami. Not only that, the club provides all necessary materials that students need. Rory Brookbank added that there are no after school activities, and they will make a Google Classroom for the members to catch up and check on what they’re working on. All students are welcome to join, but people who have patience and a creative mind, or are good at listening are more likely to be suitable for this club.
Origami is a relaxing, and mind-captivating type of art. Once you do it for a while, you’ll be able to understand it, and that’s one of the specialities of Origami. As the club’s goal, the two club leaders stated that they want the Origami club to be a school-wide club, and they don’t want to confine this hobby to a particular place. They want people who enter this club to at least be able to make a crane when they’re exiting the club.
