Attention Student Government Members:  Holiday Greens Fundraiser forms are due today by the end of the day.  Seniors and juniors can drop their forms and payment to Ms. Fortier in Room 117.  Freshmen and sophomores can drop their forms and payment to Ms. LiCavoli in Room 141.

  Please come to the 2 West Office to pick up your community service form if you worked Parent Teacher Conferences last night.

Socks are among the most needed items at homeless shelters, yet among the least-often donated. According to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, in Nassau and Suffolk counties alone, just under 3,000 people were homeless or in transitional/emergency housing in 2017.  This year the CDOS students from the Floyd Academy put together a campaign to help the homeless by having the students donate NEW socks.  Students can participate by bringing socks for men, women, and children to the High School Main Office and place the new socks in our bin. Our goal is to help spread warmth to the homeless before the cold weather.

  Do you need help filling out your college applications?  Please join us for Apps and Snacks in the Senior Café on Tuesday, December 4.  The counselors will be assisting and guiding you on your college process.  If you are interested, you must sign up in the Counseling Center.  Light snacks will be provided.

Please join the William Floyd HS Medical Club for our next meeting on Monday, December 3 from 2:15 – 3:00pm in Room 245 to discuss healthcare careers options.  Anyone interested in pursuing a career in a medical or allied healthcare field is encouraged to come.  Please see Ms. Randall with any questions.
