Get ready to make a splash! The Little Mermaid Jr. is coming to PBDA on April 17-18, and our stage will soon be swimming with unforgettable characters and show-stopping songs. Join Ariel as she dreams of a world beyond the sea, laugh along with Sebastian as he tries to keep everything “under the sea,” and enjoy the delightful antics of Scuttle and friends.

Our talented students have poured their hearts into bringing this magical underwater adventure to life, and now they need an audience to cheer them on! Help us fill the theater by purchasing tickets, inviting family and friends, and supporting the incredible hard work of our cast and crew.

NJHS

We inducted 5 new members after the first semester, who have already added renewed energy and ideas to the group. Members are donating their time before and after school as Peer Tutors, and it has been a joy to watch the connections and friendships blossom across grade levels.

If you have an Upper School student in need of peer support to get organized or model homework study habits, please fill out a Tutoring Request form.
