William Floyd Middle School seventh grader Olivia Chen recently earned the crown of Suffolk County spelling bee champion in the Bay Shore Buzz Countywide Middle School bee! Olivia, who finished in the top three last year a sixth grader, correctly spelled the word amoeba to take home the title! For her efforts, she received a trophy and a $500 prize sponsored by the Bay Shore Middle School Student Council. Congratulations, Olivia!

The William Floyd School District Fine Arts Department recently hosted their annual Districtwide Art Show in the south lobby of William Floyd High School! The event, which coincides with the beginning of March and the celebration of Youth Art & Music Month, featured gorgeous displays of artwork from William Floyd students across all grade levels. Families and community members were welcomed by the Fine Arts Department to come explore the gallery and celebrate the talented student-artists whose work was on display. Members of the National Art Honor Society hosted the event and helped serve refreshments while also running several craft activities and a face painting station for the younger children in attendance.
