The student council at Rydal held their annual food drive last week! Students in grades K-5 worked together all week to bring in items that could be donated to a local food bank. At the end of the week, student council members organized and counted all of the food that was collected. In total 1,346 items will be going to the Jenkintown Food Cupboard thanks to the donations from the Rydal community!

As we enter the month of December, students gathered for an assembly introducing our new word of the month: Gratitude! The 4th graders did an awesome job with their presentation and even introduced a gratitude jar that students can utilize all month long. Raffle winners for the month were also drawn and some awesome prizes were handed out for students who showcased the 4 BEEs!




Rydal was filled with mustaches today! This month students collected money to celebrate Movember and to raise awareness for men's health. To wrap-up the month, students and staff sported mustaches all around school to show their support for this amazing cause!










Today, and every day, we are grateful for our Abington School District community. Happy Thanksgiving! #ASDProud #OneASD #Thanksgiving2023

The smell of pumpkin filled the hallways as 5th graders took part in a Rydal Thanksgiving tradition by making Pumpkin Bread! Students and parent helpers worked together to measure ingredients, mix the batter, and get our loaves ready for baking. Everyone is excited to take their pumpkin breads home to share with their families!







We had an awesome time celebrating American Education Week! Students enjoyed having special visitors come to Rydal to work together on different projects and activities. Each classroom from Kindergarten to 5th grade was filled with laughter and smiles as everyone enjoyed working and learning together!






During American Education Week, school districts across the country honor the team of people who work in our nation’s public schools keeping our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn. Thank you, ASD support staff! #ASDProud #OneASD #WeLoveOurESPs #NEArESPect
