Message from the Principal

Good Afternoon,

Each November Abington Middle School chooses a student to serve as our Project 351 Ambassador. The Ambassador commits to participate in a 12-month leadership journey, which includes leadership development, mentorship, community building, and three Ambassador-led service projects in their hometown. Project 351 is a statewide service learning organization that promotes and inspires student leadership. Middle schools are asked to select an ambassador who meets the following criteria:

-Exemplifies the values of kindness, compassion, humility and gratitude.

-Demonstrates a strong ethic of service.

-Can work independently and values and enjoys teamwork.

-Reflects strong potential and desire to learn and lead.

-Represents the rich diversity of the Commonwealth and their community.

I am happy to announce that the Abington Middle School Staff has selected Grade 8 student Jack Regan to represent Abington as our 2020 Project 351 Ambassador. We are all looking forward to watching Jack grow as he undertakes his Project 351 journey.

I would like to thank the veterans, special guests, Chief Majenski and members of the Abington Police Department, Senator John Keenan, Representative Alyson Sullivan, School Committee member Wendy Happel, our Student Council representatives and the Grades 7 and 8 chorus and band members for a wonderful Veterans Day Ceremony. Also, many thanks to Ms. Tomlin, Mr. Shannon, Mr. Blanchette and Mr. Leonelli for everything they did to make this ceremony so patriotic and special.

Have a great weekend,

Matthew MacCurtain, Principal
