Abington School District

While Ms. England's class carved a turkey last week, Ms. Vanassche's Regional Cuisine Class was busy saving a turkey by celebrating the holiday with a Student-Made Regional Pizza Party! For the second level of cooking, students learned about different regions of the United States, including their flavors, culture and history. They then worked hard to incorporate the flavors unique to their assigned region into their pizza recipes. Students were excited to showcase their talents and invite a staff member to come dine with them!

Chef Max Schindler visited ASHS Regional Cuisine classes, where he shared his background, passion for the culinary arts, and knowledge of ingredients and how interchangeable they can be. He encouraged students to try new foods, and demonstrated how to roll sushi! #ASDProud #ASDPathways

During American Education Week, members of Abington Senior High School’s S.T.R.I.V.E. and A.C.T.I.V.E. Academy served hot and cold beverages and snacks to the Transportation staff prior to dismissal time. Many thanks to all who transport our students safely each and every day! #ASDProud

Congratulations to the ASHS Key Club, who donated $1,000 to four area organizations: Living Beyond Breast Cancer, Unite for Her, The Breathing Room Foundation, and Asplundh Cancer Center. The proceeds were generated from the sales of their "Kickoff for the Cure" T-shirts during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. #ASDProud #ASDServiceLearning

ACTIVE Academy students brought The Perfect Blend...On the Go to Overlook Elementary School, sponsored by the Overlook PTO! This morning you can catch them at the Abington Township Municipal Building from 10am-Noon, where today's special is Walking Tacos! #ASDProud #ACTIVEAcademy

Throughout the first week of November, Overlook students listened to stories about Veterans serving in the military past and present. They used Library databases to research Military Dogs, Service Dogs for Disabled Veterans, and Solemn Memorials of those who gave their lives to defend freedom, such as the War Memorial Wall of Vietnam, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the history of the Poppy symbol of remembrance. This research culminated in the 7th annual outreach project of every student making a card for a Veteran in their family, or for the Overlook Owl Outreach to the Delaware Valley Veterans' Home. #ASDServiceLearning
