On April 24, Abington Senior High School opened a new pop-up educational art installation for students and staff, timed to Holocaust Remembrance Day. The exhibit, which was curated by teachers of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity course, in partnership with the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center in Elkins Park, includes five artworks about the Auschwitz experience, all created by Frank Root, the spouse of a survivor.
The art pieces are static, but each one has a QR code for students to explore the topic and event related in the work. Social studies classes throughout the school visit the exhibit one at a time, where the teachers lead a discussion about the pieces.

Students enjoyed salsa and bachata lessons followed by social dancing in Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, and Bachata.
