Leave it to the teachers of Abbott Elementary to find unconventional solutions to persistent problems. In this week’s episode, “Ava Fest: Tokyo Drift,” the educators of Philadelphia’s most underfunded public school take fundraising into their own hands – literally. Forget bake sales and PTA meetings; this time, it’s all about suds, sponges, and questionable car-washing techniques.
Janine, ever the optimist, sees the open house carwash as a golden opportunity to raise much-needed cash. Of course, Ava, the ever-so-slightly tone-deaf principal, has her own interpretation of the event, which could range from mildly unhelpful to outright chaotic. The rest of the Abbott crew – Gregory, Jacob, Melissa, Mr. Johnson, and Barbara – are along for the ride.
Will the carwash be a success? Will Ava accidentally wax someone’s windshield with peanut butter? Tune in to ABC this Wednesday, April 2 at 8:30 PM EST to see how it all plays out.
