Dancing, games, food and friends made for a fun time for all at 6th grade activity night. Thank you to the PTO for helping make this night memorable. The 360 photo booth was fire, gift card raffles, and the new quiet sensory room they sponsored made the event accessible and enjoyable for all. Additional thanks to the parents that volunteered their time and families that donated food to help make this event a success!!
At a recent Going Green Club meeting students learned how to split perennial plants like irises and day lilies and planted them in one of the gardens by the school entrance. It’s a great way to expand a garden without spending any additional money. Next meeting is on Thursday 10/16. We will be going outside and learning how to do nature journaling and press leaves.
Mrs. Burke's social studies classes learned about the ancient writing system, cuneiform. They practiced writing their names using reeds and clay.

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
