John Mendelin, Arts and Entertainment

Hello! My name is John Mendelin and I am one of the Arts and Entertainment editors for the Shield Online. This year, it is my goal to provide a platform for all student artists at Pleasant Valley to share their passion with our community. Outside of school, I love to sing classical and jazz music,  play piano, and stay involved in our theatre department. I love that Pleasant Valley is a place where we are provided with such amazing opportunities to succeed and support one another, no matter the artistic medium.
