Woodland Students Make the Most of Art Grant

Students in John Healy's Art Club completed a art mural entitled "Partners in Education."

Earlier this school year, art teacher and Art Club advisor Dr. John Healy was awarded a $1,500 grant from NEFCU, which was used to purchase art supplies for the Art Club.

To thank NEFCU for their generous donation, Art Club students completed a beautiful art mural entitled “Partners in Education,” which depicts Long Island with headshots of students in the club. This special piece was commissioned for NEFCU and will be formally dedicated at the NEFCU office building in February.

In December of 2011, NEFCU CEO Ed Paternostro and Vice President for Marketing and Community Relations Valerie Garguilo visited Woodland to view a preview of the mural and meet the students in the Art Club as well as Dr. Healy and Principal James Lethbridge.
