Abington Senior High School extends its sincere thanks to Judy Scotto, who has been a nurse for 45 years. She has known what she's wanted to do since she was 10 years old, but she explained to students that not everyone figures it out that early. Sometimes it takes time to discover exactly what you want to do. Nurses truly make a difference, and Judy explained how grateful she is to wake up every morning and go to a job she loves because of the gratification she gets through helping others.

Our sewing students recently went on their semester field trip to Hobby Lobby, where they learned how to select the appropriate fabric for their projects. During the visit, students explored different materials and had the opportunity to feel the texture, weight, and drape of various fabrics.
Prior to the trip, students practiced project planning and learned how to estimate the cost of materials for their final projects. Each of the three sewing levels had a unique experience. For many Level 1 students, this was their first visit to the store, and the more advanced students modeled how to communicate with staff at the cutting table.
The staff at Hobby Lobby were enthusiastic about working with our students and asked about the projects they were planning to create. Experiences like this are memorable for students and help build both community and confidence.
To make the trip even more special, on the final day, our bus driver, Mr. Ginty, played the bagpipes for the students. They were truly in awe of his talent.
Overall, it was a successful and enriching trip that has prepared our students well for their upcoming sewing projects. We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinActivities
This week using the oranges that Mr. O’Hara’s STRIVE students collect , Fruit Ninjas repurposed the donated oranges, turning the fruits into freshly squeezed orange juice!

This past weekend was the PIAA State Tournament for wrestling.
Michelle Yakupova won her 7th place match on Saturday. She is the first ever Abington Girls Wrestling PIAA State Medalist! She ends a 17-year hiatus for the Ghosts, claiming a PIAA State medal. She is the first underclass medalist since 1995.
Chelsea Kamgaing just missed placing, falling in the blood round to a 2x State Medalist. Just a sophomore, she will have two more cracks at it. We are all super proud of how far she has progressed; she will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come!
Ryan Solomon wrestled his last matches as a Ghost on Thursday night. His weight class was one of the deepest in the field, wrestling a returning state medalist in the first round consolations.
