We are proud that all nine Abington School District schools were among the 68 schools statewide to have been recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for completing last year’s Governor’s Breakfast Challenge! The goal of the challenge was to increase student participation in school breakfast, which is free for all students. Abington’s schools were recognized for our commitment and contribution to child nutrition and the education of students. Special thanks to our Chartwells team for their partnership in this effort to ensure students are well-fed before their school day begins! #ASDProud

💚 Start With Hello Week! 💚
This week, our school community is celebrating Start With Hello Week, a time dedicated to building connections, creating a sense of belonging, and making sure every student feels seen, welcomed, and included.

We loved seeing so much green throughout our school and our students coming together to show that something as simple as saying “Hello!” can make a difference.
