No step is more important in your child's education than the first one.

The Early Childhood Department of the City School District of Albany (CSDA) is dedicated to building a solid educational foundation for success starting with our youngest learners.

This event is still happening‼️
Lots of vendors, activities, entertainment and good!

Come on down near Giffen Elementary School and enjoy 🖤❤️💚

Giffen Families- Today was a remarkable trip around the world at our Multicultural Day celebration! Saturday we hope you'll join us as we march down Morton Ave to Giffen in the African Heritage Parade. Students who are not already performing with the Gatorettes will receive a Giffen T-shirt to wear in the parade!

Giffen will also have a table at the Juneteenth Celebration! We will have our Community School Family Wellness and Enrichment partner Skin Deep Naturals by Octavia Maxwell joining us as we make body scrubs (while supplies last)!

We will have freeze pops for those who stop over and say "Hello" at our Giffen table.

Special thanks to the Albany Fund For Education for their support of this week's multicultural events!
