Fourteen students from William Floyd Middle School were recognized for their artistic contributions at the Town of Brookhaven’s Red Ribbon Week art exhibition. These students, all part of Stephanie Taisler’s Art Portfolio class, presented their work under the theme "Living Your Best Life Drug Free!"
The honored students included Ava Asendorf, Mia Cartelami, Willow De Armitt, Hailey Gonzalez, Elijah Lamb, Alwin Leiva, Isabella LaBanca, Isabella Maurer, Kayleigh Rose Moore, Tyler Muniz, Toby Nicosia, Camille Obi, Johhan Reyes and Denise Zhunio-Villacis.
Red Ribbon Week is a national initiative focused on drug prevention. It occurs annually from October 23 to October 31. The Brookhaven Youth Bureau engages in this campaign by collecting photos, paintings, or drawings from Long Island students in grades seven through twelve for its “Brookhaven’s Got Talent” student art show. Participants submitted their artwork for evaluation and selection.
The chosen pieces were displayed at Brookhaven Town Hall throughout October. Additional images can be found in the accompanying album.
