Abington Middle School

We are collecting important items to help a school in Jamaica rebuild from the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa. We want to fill backpacks with important supplies for students who have lost everything because of this storm.

In every ELA classroom, there is a donation box. Just have your child place your donation inside the donation box. Plus, there is a large donation box in the office reception area. All donations need to be new, so no used items.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Goldberg in the library or Mr. Vaszily in room 236.

This collection drive will run until February 11

We also have an amazon wishlist if you could include the link:

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.
