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.

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.

On Thursday, July 1, newly-elected trustee Jennifer Heitman took the oath of office administered by district clerk Carolyn Visintin to serve a new three-year term on the William Floyd Board of Education. Mrs. Heitman, along with her family and district officials, gathered in the district office to recite the oath and sign the official register.

Third-grade students in Christopher Tavolaro’s class at Tangier Smith Elementary School recently raised and donated $280 to support Smile Train.
