About

The Blue and White aims to create space for the student body to be fully expressive in transforming thoughts to actions, in order to  build an innovative and collaborative community across all lines at Abington Friends School. Our mission is to accurately tell the story of Abington Friends School, and with this, we promise to prioritize respect in an effort to achieve journalistic integrity. 

We understand our responsibility as journalists to set moral standards, withhold bias, and report from all perspectives. We believe that successful upholding these standards will strengthen the Abington Friends community as we plan to use truth to establish justice. 

As members of the Friends education system, it is The Blue and White’s mission to incorporate the fundamental principles of the Quaker testimonies in order to protect individual voices and the integrity of the Abington Friends community. All content in The Blue and White including articles, photography, and design is created and edited by students at Abington Friends School. Final publication decisions are made by the Editors-in-Chief with support and advice of the faculty advisor. The editorial staff, Editors-in-Chief, and advisor of the Blue and White commit to the obligations stated above.
