We will be celebrating creativity, expression, and community in honor of Debra Perry, a well-known educator with more than 31 years of service for Grand Rapids Public Schools.
As a dedicated teacher, artist, and mentor, especially at Coit Creative Arts Academy, Debra has shaped generations of students through music, innovation, and excellence in arts education.
More than a gala, Mindshare is a movement. This year’s Mindshare: The Sounds of Possibility proceeds will support music, arts, athletics, and experiential learning opportunities for nearly 14,000 GRPS students.
