Abbott Elementary Renewed for Season 2; Girls5eva Returns May 5 on Peacock
ABC has renewed Abbott Elementary for a second season for 2022-23. Principal Ava announced it herself:
Faculty and Students (aka My Fans) –
The camera crew I hared to showcase all that I've made happen at our beautiful school thinks I'm a star. I mean, are we surprised? No we’re not :) With that said, it is with great pleasure that I share they'll be returning for the 2022-2023 school year! That's right - Abbott Elementary Season Two is coming to a screen near you.
Despite my being a natural in front of the camera, these things don't come for free, and my staff is having trouble seeing all of my unleashed potential! Something about needing supplies? Anywho, I could use your help getting them (Janine) off my back. If you’re interested in supporting them and our community of young mind shapers, please visit DonorsChoose.org.
I also welcome spa credits and gift cards over $100 on the heels of this thrilling announcement. I also have all major money transer apps if you wanna go that route.
Love, Light, and all of that stuff,
Principal Ava Coleman
