Today was the first meeting of the school year for the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council, in which two representatives from each school routinely meet with Dr. Fecher and Dr. Melchor to share their thoughts and experiences from across the district. Dr. Fecher also gave the students an assignment to go to their peers and ask for any feedback that should be brought to the next council meeting. #ASDProud

On Wednesday, October 1, Abington School District will celebrate the third annual Pink Pants Day in memory of former Abington Middle School English teacher, Mr. Chris Hamsher. During October, Mr. Hamsher combined his desire to help others with his flair for fashion by frequently sporting pink pants in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To continue this tradition, students and staff are invited to wear pink pants (or a pink shirt) on the first day of October. A fundraiser among staff will also aim to raise money for a scholarship fund created in his memory. #ASDProud #OneASD #LeadwithLove
