Abrams has begun a campaign to generate an additional $700,000 in EITC funding for Abrams through the participation of AHA families and friends.The goal is to provide scholarships for every Jewish child who wants a Jewish education at Abrams.
With your help we can succeed!!!
If you own a business that pays taxes in PA there is still time for you to apply for EITC, even if you did not make the July 1 deadline. You will be placed on the existing wait-list, and the sooner your name goes on the list the better your chances are of being chosen.
Help Abrams while helping yourself! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to increase our chances to receive more of this much-needed State funding, so please consider this seriously.
If you own a business that would benefit from this tax credit or can recommend someone else, please contact Rabbi Budow as soon as possible to discuss. There are experts from Federation available to walk you through the process of applying and to answer questions.
It is really easy to do, and the benefits are huge for the school and for you!!
**Time is of the essence- remember that the applications are considered as they come in, so the sooner you apply the better the chances are of being chosen.

All parents should use the front door to enter the school with key cards and not the back doors. Parent swipe cards only work at front door.
Please do not ask students to open any doors- parents must report to the front office and check-in before entering the school.
No student or other person should use the lunchroom doors other than for dismissal or emergency purposes.
These rules are for our children’s safety.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Car Pool Rules
All Parents who Car Pool:
Please note that the car pool line is for grades N and K only. All other students are to be dropped off in the front of the building.
Parents who use the back for drop off should follow the directions of the teachers in the parking lot. They are there to assist students and maintain a safe environment.
Under no circumstances are parents to park their cars in the middle of the line and leave them unattended to walk students into the building.
** We ask that parents refrain from cellphone use in the parking areas while dropping off and picking up their children.

In order to maintain a consistent kashrut policy and to avoid confusion, ALL orders for birthday cakes/cupcakes MUST be ordered from Cramer’s Bakery, 16 E. Afton Avenue, Yardley. Cramer’s will deliver the order to the school at a discounted price.
