If you happened to be out and about yesterday in Abington or Rockledge you might have wondered: “Why is that school bus with adults traveling around Abington and Rockledge? Schools are not open yet!”
Yes, school is not formally open and the “passengers” were adults. In fact, they were 26 new teachers that will teach at Abington Schools starting next week.
Yesterday’s tour included every school building in the District, and sights such as Schwarzman Stadium at the High School, Penn State Abington, Briar Bush Nature Center, Memorial Field, the Abington Township Building and Police Department, Abington Jefferson Health Hospital, the District Bus Garage, Alverthorpe Park, Rockledge Borough, Willow Grove Mall, Manor College, and more.
District administrators welcomed the new teachers and learned a bit about their backgrounds and previous teaching assignments before the tour.
Remember: Classes start Tuesday, September 5, 2017. Have a great year!
