BRAVO to the cast and crew of The Little Mermaid Jr. this past weekend. What an uplifting and life affirming experience to watch the students’ celebrate their God-given talents as they sang, danced, laughed, and acted across the stage in such glorious unison. Such an inspiring real-life testimony of community: working hard, persevering, and supporting one another for a shared purpose. A Big Shout Out to producers Stephanie, Eva, and Suzette, Closing Night Reception Chairperson Jan, Joe for graphic design, video, and photography and the many other parent volunteers for the countless hours they put towards bringing this production to life. Without their organization and oversight, this would not be possible. And how about school dad David as King Triton? This was our sixth performance and every year, the cast seem to outdo themselves. Can’t wait to hear what’s next!

What an incredible opening night for The Little Mermaid Jr. performance! We had our largest audience ever of over 500 people. There are two more performances today at 1pm and 6pm at the El Segundo Performing Arts center and tickets are still available. We hope to see you there! 🌊🐠🦀🧜🏼
