                           Short story

1^st of September is not a random date. The fact is that in Russia the New Year was celebrated on the first day of autumn. It is logical that it was from these dates that the new training cycle began. In addition, when Peter the Great postponed the New Year holidays to January 1 by his decree, it was decided to leave the beginning of studies in order not to break the usual rhythm.

The solemn line has a number of its longstanding traditions. (symbols). Here are the most important ones!

1. In each school, an 11th grade student places a first grader on her shoulder, who gives the first bell that marks the beginning of the school year!

• The eleventh graders to applause at the end of the solemn ruler, see the first graders to their first lesson in their life, they are the first to introduce children to the school!
