Curernt Parent and Former Navy SEAL Speaks at Veterans Day Assembly
Donna Schmidt
Buckley was honored to have James Battista, former Navy SEAL and Buckley parent, speak at our Lower School Veterans Day assembly.
Mr. Battista shared the life lessons he learned through the trials and achievements he experienced in Navy SEAL training, delivering an uplifting, inspirational message that focused on the importance of perseverance, courage, and heart. He encouraged our students to find ways to serve their community and presented Buckley with an American flag he carried with him during his missions.
Upper School students of Spanish 3 Honors, Spanish 4 Honors, and AP Spanish attended the dress rehearsal of the opera, El último sueño de Frida y Diego, and stopped for lunch at the Pueblo de Los Angeles on Olvera Street.
