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.
Throughout the school year, William Floyd High School students from Mrs. Lauren Heuer’s School to Work class have been participating in a buddy program with students from Mr. Josh Young’s class at John S. Hobart Elementary School, working together on various season-themed projects!
The William Floyd Counseling Center is hosting its annual "College Fair & Career Expo" on Thursday, April 3 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm in the high school gymnasium. This event is open to all families in the district, K-12, as it is never too early to start planning for the future!
