Second grade wrote thank you letters to veterans. Here are some students delivering them to Mr. Helmut Boehm. He is 98 yr old and has served as the Grand Marshal of the Rockledge 4th of July parade for the last two years.
This Veterans Day, we thank the veterans from across our nation, especially those who work here in Abington School District! Thank you for your service. #ASDProud #VeteransDay2023

This week schools nationwide celebrate National School Psychology Week to highlight the critical work school psychologists do to help students thrive. This is a time to recognize and show appreciation for our school psychologists, who support students' learning and mental and behavioral health, promote positive and inclusive school climates, serve on school safety and crisis teams, and collaborate with families, teachers, and administrators to improve student outcomes. #ASDProud #OneASD #SchoolPsychWeek
