#ASDProud: A group of 8th grade students at Abington Middle School recently elected to spend their lunches reading a book called "A Most Beautiful Thing" with their school counselors, Ms. Haynes and Ms. Adam. Yesterday, the author, Arshay Cooper, joined the group for a virtual Q&A, where students could ask about the book that is a moving true story about Cooper's life growing up on Chicago’s West side, and involvement in the formation of the nation's first all-black high school rowing team.

The elementary Table Talk is scheduled for Wednesday, May 31st from 5:30-7 p.m. at Abington Senior High School.
