Notes from the Director:
I am extremetly proud of this production. A truly successful production however, involves more than what is presented on stage. It should not only be an artistic learning experience, but a personal one as well. I'm especially proud of the cooperation, mutual respect, the level of commitment, and the teamwork that has been demonstrated by everyone involved in this production. As we lower the curtain on our underwater adventure inspired by Finding Nemo, we want to leave you with some final notes from the depths of our hearts:
- Just like Nemo, remember that even the smallest fish can make a big splash in the world. Embrace your uniqueness and let your light shine!
- Like Marlin and Dory, cherish the power of friendship and teamwork. Together, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.
- Take a lesson from Crush the sea turtle and go with the flow. Sometimes in life, it's best to ride the current and see where it takes you.
- Remember the importance of family, whether it's the one you're born into or the one you create along the way. Family is where love and support swim endlessly.
- To my promoting 8th Graders - it's always bittersweet for me watching our final year starting to come to a close. I'm proud of you all and have worked with many of you for three years - I'm excited to see where the ocean will take you.
Thank you for joining us on this unforgettable journey under the sea. Just like Nemo, we've learned that with a little courage and a lot of heart, we can achieve the impossible. Keep swimming, keep dreaming, and never forget the joy of the ocean that resides within you. Until we meet again on the stage, farewell and fin-tastic adventures await!
With All the Love,
Mr. Harlee Castro Balajadia
