The William Floyd High School Concert Orchestra, | WFHS

The William Floyd High School Concert Orchestra, under the direction of Donna Visone-O’Brien, participated in a service project this school year designed to bring hope and encouragement to children with cancer.

Throughout the year, concert orchestra members wrote encouraging letters and drew pictures to brighten the lives and spirits of children receiving treatment at Tyler Robinson Foundation hospitals and centers including Memorial Sloan Kettering and Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.

Students also signed and shared a banner with the words, “Hope is an act of true courage from the bravest part of your soul.”
