In conclusion, the combined high school, middle school, and elementary school rendition of Oliver was a testament to the incredible talent and unity that exists within the Saddle Brook School District.

Participating in our school's spring musicals for 5 years has given me such an amazing experience with amazing people that I had the pleasure to spend so much time with. Being student director in my last year gave me so much experience in theater and learning how to produce a good quality show. Being nominated for a metro award for my work as a student director really made my hard work an achievement. I hope the school enjoyed Oliver! - Natalia Chahine
