It’s no secret that our students are special children. They come to our school with a variety of talents, strengths, dreams, and ambitions. We are proud to share that one such student has recently seen one of her dreams come to fruition. Madeleine Gardella recently earned the role of Abby in “Nutcracker, 1776.” The show will debut at the Merriam Theater in Philadelphia this December.

Madeleine has been dancing for several years, landing the role of Clara in “The Nutcracker” in the past two years. She intends to be a professional ballerina one day, dancing as a principal for a ballet company.

For more information on her recent success, check out the article recently published in the Bucks County Local News titled, ‘Bucks Ballerina Lands Lead Role in ‘Nutcracker, 1776.’”

We are so proud of your success, Madeleine! We know there is much more to come!
