Introductions


 * Leah F.** **(Graduated from Abington Heights High School, June 2009! - CONGRATULATIONS!)** suggested a page for introductions. Great idea!

Here it is. A page for us to get to know one another better and for others to get to know us!

As long as you and your parent/guardian are comfortable with you sharing this information, provide your first name and last initial, age, grade and school, and a list of school and other activities / interests / favorite authors you have. **Please, NO PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION!**


 * Simply click on EDIT THIS PAGE (the button in the upper right hand corner) to add your info. Begin your entry immediately following this line as we'd like the newest introductions on top. Thanks!**
