The William Floyd High School library recently hosted its second annual Comic Con event, welcoming second graders from William Floyd Elementary School and Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School. The event was organized by high school librarians Kate Devenney and Stacy Redmond, English teachers Brian Sckipp and Paul Helbig, along with seniors from the "Heroes, Myths and Legends" classes.

The day commenced with an opening ceremony featuring high school students dressed as superheroes making a grand entrance accompanied by a drumline performance. Following this, the young visitors engaged in various superhero-themed activities throughout the library.

Activities included creating their own superheroes at the Action Art Academy and exploring STEM robot cars at "Tony Stark’s Tech Station," presented by STEM teachers Janine Baumiller and Stacy Callan. Other attractions were a forensics mystery adventure, a superhero dance-off with Mr. Helbig, an obstacle course named Spidey Sense Agility Course, and Bruce Banner’s Science Lab showcasing experiments led by chemistry teacher Martin Palermo. Additionally, there were guessing games, a superhero Mad-Libs activity, and a photo booth with superhero standees.

The elective course "Heroes, Myths and Legends" is designed for seniors to explore heroic myths' origins and significance across cultures through diverse texts.
