"Each year, we are proud to showcase the works of our talented student artists for superintendents and school board members from across the state to enjoy at the annual NYSSBA conference," said Dr. Ben Wiley, Assistant Principal and Coordinator of Art for the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District. "From our youngest students to those preparing for graduation, our mission is to cultivate a love of art and nurture our students' talents, and participating in this showcase is one of the many ways we achieve that." The District appreciates the continued dedication of art teachers Linda Curran, Kelly Verdi, and Nirel Weinstein for inspiring students’ artistic growth and success.
