Then they were tasked with a mission project and thrust into the ruckus of an unfamiliar city.

Congrats to Buckle My Shoe’s Graduating Class! By Amelia Jonakait

month after New York Law School held its 118th Commencement at Lincoln Center in May, the ASchool celebrated another graduation; but not for a group of future lawyers—not yet. Instead, this event recognized a class bound for kindergarten. On June 11, New York Law School hosted its preschool neighbors, the Buckle My Shoe Nursery School, for their graduation ceremony in the Law School’s new building. Two classes—the Lions and Tigers—of 24 graduates, all festooned with traditional commencement mortarboards, marched down the aisles of the Law School’s auditorium and received their diplomas while their families looked on with pride.

Though this is the first graduation the Law School has hosted for Buckle My Shoe, it isn’t the first time | the little scholars have visited the campus. For years, the preschoolers have stopped by to show off their 64 costumes en route to their neighborhood Halloween parade. Linda Ensko, Founder and Director of Buckle My Shoe, says the Law School has always been a great neighbor. “To let us hold our unusually large graduation ceremony at [the Law School] was above and beyond. It made it even more special for the children and their families.”

During the ceremony, the children performed “If I Had a Hammer,” “The Dinosaur Song,” and “If All the Raindrops Were Lemon Drops and Lollipops.” The program also included a violin rendition of “Pomp and Circumstance” played by one of Buckle My Shoe’s teachers, Sherrien Badawy, and speeches by Ensko, Educational Director Diane Olt, and the teachers of the Lions and the Tigers, Tara Grobstein and Chloe Cohen. After the festivities, Associate Dean Harry Althaus presented each of the graduates with a New York Law School beach ball. | 65 a lumni events
