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

We'd like to take a moment to highlight the outstanding performance of our 4th and 5th grade students during the annual Elementary Track Meet. They truly showcased their athletic skills, resilience, and, most importantly, their sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see them encouraging and cheering for one another throughout the event.
