ICYMI: Smithtown HS Students Collaborate On Environmental Project

SMITHTOWN, NY — Students in Kimberly Williams' marine science class at Smithtown High School West are once again collaborating with Advanced Placement art students from Tim Needles' class at Smithtown High School East for an environmentally-conscious project that aims to keep local sewers and waterways clean, the school district announced.
