The students and staff at Clover Patch Preschool and the Langan School at the Center for Disability Services were feeling peppy Wednesday.

They welcomed players and coaches from the Albany Firebirds, ahead of their arena football game opener this Friday.

Firebirds posters and banners were hung up throughout the lobby and hallways.
The players also signed autographs for the kids.

The firebirds will take on the Orlando Predators in Florida on Friday night.
