Day starts with applause

Teachers applaud students as they walk into school

William S. Hackett Middle School staffers – many decked out in Hackett shirts – surprised students with cheers and applause Friday morning as they entered school on the last day of the week.

Take a look at 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.”)

Happy Friday, everyone!
