Roslyn Giant Teams Up With Abington Schools

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA —The Abington School District is teaming up with the Giant Food Store in Roslyn for a food donation drive.

From now through March 31, anyone who shops at the Susquehanna Road supermarket will be invited to “round up” at the register and donate an amount of their bill to support Feeding School Kids.

Customers can also give by converting their reward points to donations in the Giant app, or by purchasing a reusable bag.

At the end of March, all round-up donations will be tallied and donated to the Abington School District, school officials said.

Donations are used by the Student Services Department to purchase Giant gift cards that are distributed by school district social workers directly to families in need to help supplement their grocery costs.

In other school district business:

• Using Afghan Refugee School Impact Grant funds, the "I'm Your Neighbor" welcome library was purchased to provide multilingual and multicultural literature at Rydal Elementary School and Abington Senior High School to welcome our refugee and newcomer students.
• Mrs. Roher's Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity classes visited Keneseth Israel synagogue, which houses the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center. Students toured the synagogue and learned about its history. Students received a guided tour of the museum and an overview of the items displayed, almost all of which have been donated by survivors of the Holocaust.
