The students had gathered yesterday at the Northampton County district high school's auditorium to celebrate 19 classmates who wrote, "Our Friend Mikayla," a biography published earlier this year by the Bubel/Aiken Foundation, which works on behalf of children with special needs. Aiken is a co-founder of the foundation.
Mikayla Resh was the subject of the biography, written and illustrated by her third-grade classmates two years ago. Mikayla has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. Her mother, Kimberly Resh, arranged the all-school assembly to thank them.
Aiken read from the book for the student body of more than 680, talked with the 19 authors, and posed for photographs. To Mikayla, he sang a few lines from "When I See You Smile." Then he announced a final treat: limousines to take the students back to Lower Nazareth Elementary.Photos: Clay Aiken
