Students Walked Out Singing
"Kathryn the Grape was such a fun and inspiring assembly for our school. She connected music, fun, and imagination with an inspiring message of following your dreams and spreading love and kindness in the world. My students walked out singing and have been referring back to the tools Kathryn the Grape shared with them. It was a great combination of social/emotional learning, character development, and music.

Bright, Energetic, and Motivational Speaker
“Kathryn the Grape came to our school and what an amazing experience it was! She conducted two assemblies for the entire student body, and every grade level was engaged with her positive and empowering message. Kathryn Cloward had the students and teachers participate in her assembly, and she even had everyone dancing and singing with her. It was quite a sight to see! Kathryn’s message touched on every key point we could have hoped for, including important real-life stories about bullying and being responsible for our own choices. Kathryn was a bright, energetic, and motivational speaker who was able to connect with students and teachers alike. Kathryn is definitely someone you want your students to know."

Engaging with Perfect Message
“Our school enjoyed the Kathryn the Grape assembly. It was not only engaging, but the message of treating others fairly and with respect was perfect. Students also enjoyed hearing and learning about how they too can become an author and illustrator someday. Kathryn did a great job, and the students were singing ‘Shine Shine
Shine’ all afternoon."
