Join the Abington Senior High School's ACTIVE Academy and STRIVE students for their annual holiday pop-up shop, right here in the Abington School District Administration Building! On Thursday, December 18, from 9-10 a.m., shop their offerings of handmade items and crafts, as well as their Ability Greetings cards and gift tags, all available for a suggested donation. This event is open to the public, but non-District employees must be prepared to sign in using the Raptor Visitor Management System.
While Ms. England's class carved a turkey last week, Ms. Vanassche's Regional Cuisine Class was busy saving a turkey by celebrating the holiday with a Student-Made Regional Pizza Party! For the second level of cooking, students learned about different regions of the United States, including their flavors, culture and history. They then worked hard to incorporate the flavors unique to their assigned region into their pizza recipes. Students were excited to showcase their talents and invite a staff member to come dine with them!
Chef Max Schindler visited ASHS Regional Cuisine classes, where he shared his background, passion for the culinary arts, and knowledge of ingredients and how interchangeable they can be. He encouraged students to try new foods, and demonstrated how to roll sushi! #ASDProud #ASDPathways
