September 1st is the day of knowledge and back to school day for Ukrainian kids.
In most schools, all children gather in the schoolyard in their best clothes for the "first bell," bringing flowers for their teachers. Speeches, dances, and songs mark the start of the school year.
This year, the 100-year anniversary of the foundation of the Ukrainian Republic was commemorated. Yellow-blue balloons are released into the sky. Then, the final year students "initiate" the first graders into the world of knowledge and a young man from the final grade carries a girl from the first grade who rings the "first bell" after which all the students go to the classes.
