My Project
Our school is thrilled to welcome Grammy-nominated singer and author Kierra Sheard for an inspiring author visit featuring her children’s book Kiki Finds Her Voice. This unforgettable event will merge the worlds of literacy and performing arts, igniting our students’ passion for reading, self-expression, and personal growth.
We’re seeking your support to provide a copy of Kiki Finds Her Voice for each student who attends.
This story of courage, creativity, and confidence mirrors the journeys many of our vocal and performing arts students are on today.
By connecting with a talented author who has turned her voice into a platform for impact, students will feel seen, inspired, and empowered. Your donation helps young vocalists and storytellers explore their potential—and discover the power of their own voices.
