On Monday, faculty, administration, and support staff at Abington High School wore T-shirts that said “Seja voce! Estaja aqui! Participe!,” which loosely translated from the Portuguese means “Be you! Stay here! Participate!”

The unified message was to show all students that they belonged at the high school. The event kicked off the celebration of International Week.

Throughout both floors of the school, flags representing different countries appeared. Large flags hung over the middle school cafeteria, while along the stair wells near the cafeteria and around the rotunda on the second floor paper flags were hung. Signs also were hung outside of classes in different languages stating what the class was.
