It's officially the month of November, which means it's time for students to be introduced to a new theme from the Abington Pledge of Character! This month's character theme is RESPONSIBILITY, with students pledging to be responsible for their actions.


At Tuesday's Board meeting, Dr. Matthew Harris, Supervisor of Fine Arts, and Abington School District art teachers, curated the 2023-2024 Abington School District Art Exhibit in the Administration Building, and recognized the students who have created wonderful pieces of artwork and dedicated them to the building. Their artworks will be on display for four years. #ASDProud #ArtsinASD #AwardsofASD

A favorite weekly tradition returned to Abington Schools earlier this month: High-Five Fridays! High-Five Friday is a weekly initiative started by the Abington Township Police Department in order to increase positive interactions with students in the Abington School District. Every Friday, with the exception of a pandemic hiatus, officers visit our elementary school buildings to greet students in the morning with a fist-bump or high-five. #ASDProud #HighFiveFridays
