The Yearbook Staff proudly presents our 2026 Yearbook Spirit Day! Join us on January 29 for SOUND WAVES day! Inspired by our "Sound Wave" yearbook design, SOUNDWAVES day is a day to celebrate music and musical styles. Get those crazy bell bottoms on for Disco, tie a flannel around your waist for grunge, get your cowboy gear for country, maybe some leg warmers for 80's pop! You get the idea! Prizes will be awarded for participation and creative costumes! Remember, January 29 is SOUNDWAVES DAY! And while you're thinking of your next spirit day costume, don't forget to order your 2026 Yearbook today! The link to order can be found on the Abington Middle School Main Page! Thanks and see you on Soundwaves day!
