“American Idol” star helps Nazareth students celebrate book’s publication
Clay Aiken made a surprise appearance this morning at Nazareth Area High School for an assembly celebrating the book “Our Friend Mikayla,” published earlier this year by the Bubel-Aiken Foundation.
Aiken read the book to the entire Lower Nazareth Elementary School gathered in the high school’s auditorium. He also gave signed copies to the 19 authors/illustrators, now in fifth grade.
The students wrote the book in third grade about their classmate Mikayla Resh. Mikayla was born brain damaged and has severely impaired vision and hearing. Profound cerebral palsy confines her to a wheelchair, her mother, Kimberly Resh, said earlier this year.
In the book, the kids write about their experiences with Mikayla and things they learned from her.
After posing for pictures and speaking to the authors, Aiken then arranged for limousines to pick up the students and transport them in style back to the school in time for lunch. The buses they came in that morning had already left with the rest of the students aboard.
One of the authors, Michael Allen, just about burst when he heard the news.
“Oh my God! Thank you! Is this a dream?” Allen said. “A limo is the best. It is like the first time I’ll be in a limo. It is so awesome.”
“Limos are for classy people,” Aiken said. “You are classy people.”
