Giffen Memorial Elementary School gave a warm welcome Friday to students from pre-K to second grade as they started their first day of the new school year.
Students spent time in their classrooms then had a special assembly with Assistant Principal William Flax-Leight in the auditorium.
Check out some Facebook photos from the morning. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, “To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
Older students attended Thursday for orientation, and everyone will be back in school next Tuesday, after the Labor Day break.
