The Latest Smash At The TASIS Dorado PAC: Disney's High School Musical Jr.

Based on the Disney Channel's smash hit movie, High School Musical, our production sees the familiar characters of Troy, Gabriella, the Jocks, the Brainiacs, the Thespians, and the Rebels of East High tackling themes of love, friendship, and family while attempting to balance the teenage turmoil with academic and extracurricular commitments.

For the past eleven weeks, a cast and crew of almost 130 talented students from 1st to 12th-grade and a chorus and musicians from 6th-12th-grade, have been putting in long hours of rehearsal time, culminating in two wonderful performances this past weekend. "Putting together a musical while being a student and juggling so many things at the same time -- that's amazing! Congratulations to the cast, the crew and the teachers on their hard work, effort and staying on top of things amongst so many responsibilities." director Axel Serrant exclaimed.

Upper school students took diction, singing, acting and dancing lessons, and worked as stagehands, moving set items onstage throughout the musical. 44 Elementary students (Mini Wildcats) also enjoyed a memorable experience as part of this show, bringing tons of enthusiasm, talent, and energy to each of their ten rehearsals. They learned ambitious and complex choreographies from Mr. Edwin Colón and Ms. Michelle Latour supported by "wonder mom" Natalia Haigler, who masterfully directed their energy into spectacular dance performances. They captivated the audience, especially with the opening number, a remix of songs from the musical. The 5th graders took leadership roles and guided the younger stars throughout the whole process. Each dance group had their moment in the spotlight!

Our talented music department, featuring Ms. Karla Santana, Mr. Fabián Rivera, Mr. Joel Bracero and Mr. Jonathan Martínez, performed live with our student musicians, conducting and adding to the authentic theatrical experience. The Wildcats band, directed by Mr. Jonathan Martinez, consisted of 12 musicians and a Wildcat Choir of four backing vocalists, directed by Mr. Joel Bracero. Our talented TD teacher, Ms. Karla Santana was the vocal coach and show pianist.

It was an emotional journey for some of our performing Seniors considering this was their last school production at TASIS Dorado. Senior Alessandra Casanova, who took on the role of the female lead, Gabriella Montez, has also been in numerous TASIS Dorado productions ever since she was cast as a woodland creature in the production of "Into the Woods" during her 4th-grade. "I may have only participated in two scenes in the entire show. However, I felt on top of the world... I am extremely proud to say that I have decided to study musical theatre in college, and I can't thank the TASIS Dorado Drama Department enough for shaping who I am as a performer," Alessandra announced.

Alessandra Casanova '18 (Gabriella) and Liam Muldoon '18 (Troy) have been on stage together since their fifth grade (click here for video)

Senior Liam Muldoon, who played the role of Troy Bolton, echoed the sentiment: "I first started participating in theatre in the 5th grade with Ale, and ever since, we've done many plays together. I started musicals as a quiet and timid kid...after joining the theatre program at TASIS...you grow as a person. Whether playing soccer or basketball is your thing, Model UN, or Math Bowl, each one of us can benefit from a little confidence no matter where our "game" is, and the theatre program will help you get there."

Other seniors also participated in the cast, including Mesac Garriga, Adriana Cuevas, and Manuel Cabanillas. Seniors Héctor Rivera and Paola Artau added their talent to the production as part of the band and chorus. Manuel Cabanillas together with Junior Valentina Nevares gave a fantastic and hilarious performance as the duo of Sharpay and her twin brother Ryan Evans trying to bring down the lead couple.

Ms. Lourdeliz Ramos, TD Drama teacher, HSM's assistant director and stage manager, praised her performers after the show: "Tonight, I couldn't feel prouder of my kids who gave their all onstage and sacrificed so many other things in order to be here tonight fully prepared for the show. They performed as professionals, singing, acting, dancing and working on stage, and they are SO happy! To me, that's the greatest reward."

Following last weekend's shows, Ms. Lourdeliz gathered the cast and crew this week to hand out participation certificates and for each student to reflect upon their own process during the production. "I congratulated the high school students for setting a good example to the youngest ones. Watching them working together, the sixth graders with the seniors, the shy ones with the extroverted ones, helping and supporting each other regardless of their differences and learning from one another, was very rewarding. Having positive role models to aspire to is simply beautiful. That's what we got from High School Musical... a family." concluded Ms. Lourdeliz.

ALUMNI PROFILE

José del Río Pantoja '14

Cancer Research at Harvard

https://dorado.tasis.com/page.cfm?p=734

JOSÉ "Jochi" DEL RÍO PANTOJA, a graduate of TASIS Dorado in 2014 and one of our latest high flyers, is fervently probing the nanoscale mysteries of biochemistry. After weighing up offers to join several Ph.D. programs, he has settled on enjoying a full scholarship at Harvard University. This exciting research challenge tackles the structural role of proteins that cause cancer.

What sparked your interest in biomedical research?

I don't recall a specific instance that started my journey towards biomedical research, but then I have always been fascinated by STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). My overall experience in STEM can be best described as a positive feedback loop: the more I learned about it, the more I wanted to know. I do believe, however, that my infatuation with the chemistry courses and research experiences at Penn State strongly shaped my interest in biomedical research.

Did you think you might go down that path from the outset of your undergraduate studies?

Not really. I started my undergraduate program at Penn State with the idea of becoming a physician but quickly switched to the Eberly College of Science at Penn State to study my current major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It's been a gratifying journey that has also introduced me to the joys of teaching. I started out as a learning assistant in general and organic chemistry courses and worked up to a position at Penn State Learning as a study group leader in organic chemistry, teaching 100-200 students.

It sounds like you barely had time for anything else!

Well, I'd say it's been a very fulfilling time indeed, also allowing me the privilege to get involved in Alpha Epsilon Delta's Pre-professional Health Honor society, promoting excellence in healthcare. We host speaker events and create community service opportunities and I've become heavily involved, most lately taking on the role of president. In addition, I've benefitted from the honors classes at the Schreyer Honors College, since being admitted there in my sophomore year.

José del Río Pantoja presentation at NYU Langone Health

What were some of your highlights at TASIS Dorado?

There are three highlights that come to my mind. The first is Annie (Galatzán); she was my number one highlight at TASIS Dorado. Whether it was her everlasting smile, wise advice, warm hugs, generous favors or quick ranting sessions, she always found a way of making me feel welcomed and loved. It was a true privilege to have met her.

Then there's Spirit Week. I absolutely loved Spirit Week. From being able to dress according to the theme of the day to all the activities going on during that week, Spirit week was super fun. It certainly resonates as one of my favorite times at TASIS.

And thirdly, there were the French classes with Madame Denisse (Cintrón) and Calculus class with Miss Wanda (Herrans). I LOVED French class with Madame Denisse (Cintrón). She managed to get me so into the course that I even agreed to sing in French for this one play we did in front of the entire student body and parents. It should be noted that I am not the greatest singer. That just goes to show how great a teacher she is. Also, her class enabled me to me to travel abroad to Nîmes, France as part of the TASIS Exchange Program, which is another huge highlight. As for Calculus class with Miss Wanda, she was the first teacher to introduce me to the importance of developing strong soft skills prior to entering college. She was also a friend and really cared about us developing our ability to succeed at learning.

What do you know now that you wish you knew in High School?

I'd say there are five things that, although I learned them during my undergraduate degree, I wish I had known in high school:

1) Only participate in extracurricular activities that you actually enjoy. It is an absolute mistake to do things just because they are résumé boosters. Professional schools and employers can see through that. Most importantly, you jeopardize your college experience and overall happiness.

2) Dumb questions are only dumb if you don't ask them. You will find people that are great at making you feel inferior for asking a question or too many questions. But don't let that get in the way of you understanding the world, regardless of what field you go into.

3) Actively seek to understand what is really going on in the world you live in. I think you have a moral obligation to have an active role in topics that affect the world. Enroll in courses about race, immigration, sexual/gender orientation, world history, and social sciences. Think differently. Research. There are so many things going on right now that you can make a great impact on a micro and even macro scale. Knowledge is your biggest weapon.

4) Check your privilege. Privilege is unearned. It is an invisible system that we are all part of. It is very important to recognize your own privilege in order to recognize those who don't have the same privileges. Had I known this going into college, I would have done a few things slightly differently. Checking and recognizing your privilege enables you to not only succeed in the most fair and conscious manner but also keeps you aware of those who aren't as lucky as you are, whether it's because of their socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, skin color, gender, or whatever. As a consequence, you grow with society.

5) Be utterly proud of your roots. If you decide to go to a school in the United States, you will be tempted to blend into the culture you find there. In high school, I wish I had been more aware of the importance of being proud of my accent, my traditions, and my people. As you dive into "the real world", you owe it to yourself and your people to show the real world the beauties of what shaped you.

Can you tell us a little about your research experiences to date?

I started with research in my sophomore year at Dr. Amie Boal's lab, studying structural biology. We worked on the mechanism and structure of proteins that use metals to catalyze reactions. That led to my first scientific paper, which is undergoing peer review as we speak. Then last summer, I attended a research program at Dr. Shohei Koide's biochemistry and molecular pharmacology laboratory at NYU Lagone Medical Center, where I managed to map the structural landscape of a protein implicated in pancreatic cancer, along with a synthetic antibody created at the Koide laboratory. I gave an oral presentation of that work at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium and spread the word further with a poster at NYU Lagone Health.

Leadership Alliance National Symposium

We congratulate you on starting your Ph.D. at Harvard. What are your goals?

I really am grateful to be able to dedicate myself to science at Harvard and the fellowship covers all five years of the Ph.D. There will be many courses to attend and a lot of training in research. Hopefully, I'll get to teach too! My research goals will focus on the structure-function of proteins and the development of therapeutic strategies.

What advice would you give to students who are interested in a career in biomedical research?

When it comes to going into biomedical research, there are three things that I believe are very important:

1) Find mentors that want to see you succeed. I wouldn't have accomplished half of the things I have if it weren't for my caring mentors. My research mentor at Penn State, Dr. Boal, introduced me to and guided me through the amazing world of chemistry and structural biology. Mentors like her are the ones that train you and connect you to bigger opportunities.

2) Try to get into a research laboratory as soon as possible. The earlier you do so, the experience you gain will either nurture your natural inclination towards the field or make it easier to switch career aspirations early on, resulting in the strongest possible résumé.

3) Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and fun should be priorities. You'd be surprised how easy it is to forget this one.

TASIS DORADO MS. MELISSA ARROYO AND NADINE RODRÍGUEZ SELECTED FOR NATIONAL STUDENT LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE

December 11, 2017; Reston, VA — The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) has appointed MS. MELISSA ARROYO RIVERA to its Student Leadership Advisory Committee to support the association's efforts to build student engagement, service, leadership, and voice for a two-year term. She is the only National Junior Honor Society Adviser from the U.S. & Puerto Rico to be chosen for this appointment. TASIS Dorado 7th-grader NADINE RODRÍGUEZ was selected as one of two middle-level representatives to the committee. Ms. Melissa and Nadine will meet with the committee on January 24-26, 2018 and will also participate in an educational briefing on Capitol Hill on January 25, 2018.

Ms. Melissa is the National Junior Honor Society TASIS Dorado chapter adviser, and she has fostered and supported the development of several service projects. Some of the projects students have developed during her time as an adviser are: collecting food for communities in need, toy drives, beach cleanups, fostering dogs, MDA of Puerto Rico fundraising activities, among others. She also nominated three students to the NJHS Outstanding Achievement Award last semester, and they won.

As a member of the Student Leadership Advisory Committee, Melissa will support NASSP's goal of engaging student leaders in influencing federal legislation by creating a platform for student voice. The Committee will also select a theme and implement a nationwide project, in keeping with the precedent set by the previous committee's Global Citizenship initiative. Committee members—eight students (one middle-level student selected by the adviser), three activity advisers, and three principals from across the country--were chosen by the NASSP student programs staff and approved by the NASSP Board of Directors for a two-year term that runs through October 2019. A school committee selected NADINE RODRÍGUEZ LÓPEZ as one of the two middle-level representatives.

"I am honored and proud to have been selected by NASSP to the committee. My main objective as the NJHS adviser is to empower members through advocacy, service, and leadership. I want young students to understand that their ideas count and that their positive influence and how they contribute to the community is important. I also want them to know that I will support them every step of the way. This is just a part of what I offer to the Student Leadership Advisory Committee, and I know both Nadine and I will work hard to fulfill our obligations." Melissa Arroyo Rivera

The Student Leadership Advisory Committee renewal is just the latest installment of NASSP's commitment to student leadership. The association, located just outside Washington, DC, is the home of the National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, National Elementary Honor Society, and National Student Council.

"NASSP is proud of its longstanding commitment to developing student leaders and amplifying student voices," said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. "Our nation needs the contributions of every person to help it thrive and progress, so we cannot leave an ounce of human potential undeveloped. With the participation of extraordinary leaders like Melissa, NASSP's efforts will continue to expand so increasing numbers of students across the country can benefit from opportunities to lead, serve, and advocate."

TASIS Dorado congratulates Ms. Melissa and Nadine on this distinguished appointment.#BEARPRIDE #NHS #NJHS #NASSP #STUDENTCOUNCIL
