On Wednesday, October 1, Abington School District will celebrate the third annual Pink Pants Day in memory of former Abington Middle School English teacher, Mr. Chris Hamsher. During October, Mr. Hamsher combined his desire to help others with his flair for fashion by frequently sporting pink pants in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To continue this tradition, students and staff are invited to wear pink pants (or a pink shirt) on the first day of October. A fundraiser among staff will also aim to raise money for a scholarship fund created in his memory. #ASDProud #OneASD #LeadwithLove
