From January 1 through March 31, everyone who shops at the GIANT on Susquehanna Road in Roslyn will be invited to “round up” at the register and donate the round-up amount of their bill to support Feeding School Kids. At the end of March, all round-up donations will be tallied and donated to Abington School District. Donations have been used by the Student Services Department to purchase GIANT gift cards that are distributed by our social workers directly to our families in need in order to help supplement the cost of their groceries.

This fall, Abington Middle School introduced a new Welcome Library for English-learners, thanks to a grant from PDE. A portion of the grant – which aimed to enhance ASD’s capacity to support the academic performance and successful integration of refugee students – was used to purchase multicultural and multilingual books for all students to enjoy, and to build literacy and cultural understanding among the student body.

During a recent visit to the library, students were able to actively use the Welcome Library during a lesson in which they needed to select a book for a friend and explain why they chose that particular work. #ASDProud #ASDReads

Happy Thanksgiving to our staff, students and their families! We are grateful to be part of such a deeply rooted school community. #ASDProud #Thanksgiving2025

Students from the Abington Middle School Chorus participated in the ACDA Vocal Thunder Festival at Pennsbury High School on November 21, 2025.

Vocal Thunder is a festival choir for low voices. Students prepared 5 songs and worked with conductor Barbara Retsko and students from all over the area to produce a wonderful concert for the community. A great day of music making was had by all!

Students who met the SRK behavior requirements for term one were invited to attend a session of SRK bingo for some great prizes like gift cards, spirit wear, electronics, and candy. Thank you to the parent volunteers and PTO donations of prizes that made this event possible!! Another event will be held after term 2 and we hope all students can attend!!

The Abington Senior High School Boys Soccer Team stopped by the middle school Friday morning during their Championship Walk across the district. Mrs. Ambrose’s class helped celebrate the state champions by creating congratulatory signs to cheer on the team as they passed through!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our districtwide food drives over the month of November! Recipients included food pantries in our area, in addition to food going directly to ASD families. At Abington Middle School, Student Council members sorted and packaged more than 71 boxes that social workers brought to students' homes! #ASDProud #ASDServiceLearning

Since the entire Abington School District community couldn't make it out to Manchester for last week's state championship soccer game, the ASHS Boys Varsity Soccer team brought the celebration to our schools today! The players and coaches went on a victory tour around the district, visiting all seven elementary schools and the Middle School, where they had an opportunity to high-five their fans and sign autographs for the younger students. #ASDProud
