WHAT DOES MR. BUCKLEY DO? A VIDEO!

At a recent PTA General Meeting, Assistant Principal Michael Buckley was asked to give a little talk about his role at the school. In addition to talking about what his work entails, he made this amazing video where the kids attempt to describe what it is that Mr. Buckley does at PS 154...

Thank you, Mr. Buckley, for all you do and for going above and beyond in putting this together! It made booking it to PTA at 8:30 on a weekday morning SO worth it.
