BizTimes Around Town: SHARP Literacy Event

SHARP Literacy recently held the fourth component in the multi-year Circle of Life Project, sponsored by the Forest County Potawatomi Community Foundation. The project’s goal was to enlist students in artistic efforts to bridge racial and cultural divides while helping them build lifelong skills in reading, writing and research. Students from five schools representing five cultures in Milwaukee performed songs and dances that highlighted their various ethnicities. The performances ended with all of the students coming together on stage to premiere a song called “Let’s Make A World” with lyrics written by students from Escuela Vieau and music by Present Music composer, Connie Grauer.
