As another school year comes to an end, it’s time to count up the page views. Below is a list of the most read articles for the year. Overall we have received 29,500 page views for the year from nearly 9,000 users. Most of our readers are from the local area, but some are from every corner of the globe. All of the data was gathered using Google Analytics where we can see that most of our page views came as the result of Facebook and Twitter posts. “Life in Abington” and “Abington Green Wave Boosters” were both very helpful in generating page views, as were retweets and likes from local supporters Ms. Pflaumer, Assistant Principal Sullivan, Dr. G., Ms. Mchugh and others. We should point out that page views included repeated views by the same user. Enjoy and follow the links to read them again or for the very first time.
