A favorite weekly tradition returned to Abington Schools earlier this month: High-Five Fridays! High-Five Friday is a weekly initiative started by the Abington Township Police Department in order to increase positive interactions with students in the Abington School District. Every Friday, with the exception of a pandemic hiatus, officers visit our elementary school buildings to greet students in the morning with a fist-bump or high-five. #ASDProud #HighFiveFridays
Please be advised that our bullying prevention guest speaker for Thursday, September 14th, Tom Thelen, is being rescheduled to 7-8 p.m. in the ASHS auditorium. The program will also be streamed live on our Abington School District YouTube channel.
SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, Sept. 14, 6-7 p.m. at the ASHS Auditorium!
