Frau Eichler's AP students participated in a "Weiberfastnacht" celebration, a part of German Karneval tradition in which women get to take over the town hall for the day with the town key and cut off the mayor's and other men's ties. The AP students had their own visit by our Abington "mayor" who graciously allowed the young women to cut off his ties. #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #firstinacademics
