On March 26th, Borough President James Oddo paid a visit to P.S. 373, a special needs school located at P.S. 48 in Concord. Sixth and seventh grade students at the school are learning about elected officials and how local government works. As part of their classwork, they hosted a mock debate and even elected a class mayor!
The children put together a video for a student film festival showing what they learned about government. During his visit, the Borough President made a cameo appearance in the students’ video, answering their questions about why he got into public service and his role in local government. Afterwards, B.P Oddo was able to tour some of the specialized facilities they use, such as their speech therapy room.
B.P. Oddo also made time to meet with students from P.S. 48, a school he helped make a reality while serving in the City Council. He toured the state-of-the-art facility and spent some time with students and teachers from the school.
