Abington School District

Today is Education Support Professionals Day, part of our annual observance of American Education Week! Thank you to our ASD support staff who keep our schools running smoothly each day, including, but not limited to, paraprofessionals and hall/playground aides, administrative assistants, health suite staff, custodians and maintenance personnel, bus drivers and monitors, cafeteria workers, school counselors and psychologists, and many, many more. We couldn't do it without you! #WeLoveOurESPs #ASDProud #OneASD

Congratulations to the ASHS Key Club, who donated $1,000 to four area organizations: Living Beyond Breast Cancer, Unite for Her, The Breathing Room Foundation, and Asplundh Cancer Center. The proceeds were generated from the sales of their "Kickoff for the Cure" T-shirts during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. #ASDProud #ASDServiceLearning

ACTIVE Academy students brought The Perfect Blend...On the Go to Overlook Elementary School, sponsored by the Overlook PTO! This morning you can catch them at the Abington Township Municipal Building from 10am-Noon, where today's special is Walking Tacos! #ASDProud #ACTIVEAcademy

Throughout the first week of November, Overlook students listened to stories about Veterans serving in the military past and present. They used Library databases to research Military Dogs, Service Dogs for Disabled Veterans, and Solemn Memorials of those who gave their lives to defend freedom, such as the War Memorial Wall of Vietnam, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the history of the Poppy symbol of remembrance. This research culminated in the 7th annual outreach project of every student making a card for a Veteran in their family, or for the Overlook Owl Outreach to the Delaware Valley Veterans' Home. #ASDServiceLearning

In honor of Veterans Day, students and staff at Abington Senior High School collected nonperishable food items and toiletries for the VA Hospital in Coatesville. Special thanks to alumna Heather Hoff Elmore (Class of 2007), Senior Facilities Manager at Jones Lang LaSalle and a former Captain in the US Army, who transports our donations each year. Thank you to all of our Veterans for your service! #ASDProud #ASDServiceLearning #VeteransDay2025

Overlook students participated in a service project through their Explorations Classes, learning about food insecurity, food banks and pantries, and advocacy for those in need. Each student filled a "Belly Bag" to be distributed by The Giving Tree to area food pantries. #ASDProud #ASDServiceLearning
