Just in time for Read Across America Week, celebrated March 2-6, 2025, Abington School District Is launching a new poster campaign called “ASD Reads!”, designed to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading among students of all ages.
With more than 100 unique designs that will be displayed across the District’s 10 school buildings, bus garage and Administration Building, the poster artwork features staff members districtwide, including teachers, paraprofessionals, administrative assistants, bus drivers, custodians, administrators and more. School directors were also included in the campaign. All of the featured personnel were photographed holding their favorite book so that they can share this personal fun fact about themselves with students.
“ASD Reads!” posters will be displayed throughout each school, from libraries and cafeterias, to hallways and classrooms, beginning this week. For more information, and a full album of all the poster designs, visit https://www.abingtonsd.org/article/2043291. #ASDProud #ASDReads #ReadAcrossAmerica
Last week the second SRK event of the year was held.

Students could sign up to be contestants or just watch the fun and see if they won one of the many raffles for prizes like gift cards that were held. The next event will be in May so we remind students that “SRK is the Abington Middle school WAY!!”

This month marked the return of the annual Felt Monster Project organized by Ms. Dougherty's Family and Consumer Science classes at Abington Middle School! Students in Ms. Frank's kindergarten class at Roslyn Elementary School, as well as a few other elementary classes across the District, had an opportunity to start the process by drawing and designing their own monster, inspired by the book "The Color Monster". Their designs will eventually be brought to life by the 8th grade students this spring during their sewing unit! #ASDProud
