The William Floyd School District’s ninth annual Teachers’ Story Corner Summer Reading Program is in full swing at the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library.

Patriotism and pride in school and community runs in his family and that’s why Alexander Guastella, a William Floyd High School rising senior, chose to revitalize the 9/11 Memorial Garden at John S. Hobart Elementary School for his Eagle Scout service project.

The William Floyd Art Department recently hosted an in-district “Portfolio Adjudication” with more than 65 students from grades two through 12 participating in this exciting event. Students had the opportunity to present several pieces of their artwork for evaluation by the district’s art teachers who served as the judges. Students were tasked with articulating their artistic process and presenting their work in a professional portfolio. More than 50 students received the highest rating of “Distinguished with Mastery” for their efforts.
