Eleven teachers at Thomas O'Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) bolstered their knowledge of all things pumpkin at an after-school professional development session on Wednesday.
Led by tech coach Debra Calvo McNicholas, the group amassed a wealth of pumpkin facts before diving in to carve the fruit (yes, pumpkin is a fruit!) into jack-o-lanterns. You can see their efforts in the display case near the cafeteria, and students will have a chance to vote for their favorite one.
Take a look at a Facebook photo album from the fun. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the photos. 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.”)
