On Tuesday, April 14, 2025 students in Spanish 4H, 5, and AP participated in an interactive cultural experience connected to what they are learning in Spanish class. Students enjoyed salsa and bachata lessons followed by social dancing in Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, and Bachata. The lesson started with a brief history of the origins of dance and continued with steps for each genre of dance. After working up a huge appetite, students enjoyed a buffet of delicious Latin foods: arroz con habichuela (rice and beans), rotini criollo con carne picadillo y queso blanco (Spanish style pasta dish with beef picadillo and white cheese), albondigas criollas (Spanish style meatballs), chuletas criollas (Spanish style pork cutlets), platanos fritos (Plantain strips), pan dulce (sweet rolls) and desserts!

A huge thanks to Dr. Travis Pollen, professor at Thomas Jefferson University, for coming in and talking about his career in exercise science.

Mr. Levandoski’s 5th period Honors English III class welcomed local DJ, Mike Vasilikos, from listener-supported WXPN in Philadelphia on Friday, March 14th, to discuss career opportunities in broadcasting and offer some insight on the circuitous nature of life’s path. Mike shared his experiences as a college student and fledgling DJ at Towson University, as well as his subsequent career at WXPN. He offered students some much-needed wisdom as to how to cultivate a path out of curiosity, self-motivation, and an open mind about future success. #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinAcademics

Back in 2012, Abington Chess won our first place at Nationals in the u1200 division. Coach, Shawn Simmons reflects fondly, "On that cold and rainy weekend in Minneapolis, my favorite memory came in the final round. Ben Kruger asked a tournament director if he could speak to me as his coach. This is a customary thing in the final round of team chess tournaments. Ben said, 'I don't need anything, coach, just wanted you to know we are winning the Championship.' The foundation those guys set for our program keeps us striving for more. This year, we will compete in Orlando in May and hope to bring home our 5th, first-place finish. Go Ghosts!" A great memory for Coach Simmons and his team as well as the entire Abington community! #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #firstinactivities

The Abington Girls Flag Football team would like to thank Ms. Vanassache for recognizing the organization and success of the team for National Women's month. We appreciate her taking the time to make a lovely brunch meal for the team to celebrate the impact they are making in female sports and in the Abington Community. Mrs. Vanassche made leis for the senior founders and mums for the junior founders. It was a great way to celebrate the lasting impact they have had on ASHS sports and the community.
