Two Abington Senior High School graduating seniors were presented with $500 awards for their noteworthy community service work.

ACT Co-Chairs Rosemary Hinkle and Lt. Michael Webb addressed the gathering, underscoring the importance of ACT in bringing together its 30 member organizations to form partnerships to provide programs, activities, and services on behalf of youth and their families. Danielle Butler pointed out the significance of an organization such as ACT and explained how America’s Promise views ACT as a model for how a community coalition can lead the way and continue to be relevant and self-sustaining in a community. Abington Police Chief William Kelly and Abington Assistant Superintendent of Schools Dr. Leigh Altadonna served as masters of ceremony, highlighting the accomplishments of each honoree and concluding with the importance of continuing our work to ensure a safe and caring community.
