William Floyd High School recently teamed up with Long Island-based Carleton Clothing to produce and sell a limited edition “Floyd Strong” t-shirt to employees, which raised $2,500 to benefit Billy Floyd’s Closet, an anonymous resource to assist high school students in need with necessities like jackets, winter gloves, socks, toiletries and more. Billy Floyd’s Closet also provides assistance to high school seniors in need by helping with yearbook purchases and with costs associated with various senior events and activities.

The t-shirts feature the phrase “Floyd Strong” with the WF logo and Carleton Clothing’s Long Island Waterman fishbone logo, a symbol representing people skilled in all aspects of various water-based activities such as swimming, surfing, fishing, clamming, sailing, paddle boarding and boating, a fitting design for a district located on the beautiful south shore of Long Island. According to the Carleton website, The Long Island Waterman is designed for all people who enjoy and respect the water around Long Island.

“We thank Carleton for their partnership and those who have purchased t-shirts to support this worthwhile effort,” said Robert Felicetta, assistant principal, William Floyd High School. “These funds will go a long way toward helping students in need.”
