Abbey is proud to be chosen as one of only 6 communities to win the Richardson Pioneer Community Contest. We have been awarded a grant for $25,000 to help finish the rubber paving at the playground and a once in a lifetime party with Rider Alumni, Gainer the Gopher and the Rider Pep Band! Join us September 18 for all the festivities.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Dean Coburn, who has decided to step down after many years of volunteering.
