I think today is an unforgettable day for students. We are at school again. There are many students, parents and teachers in the schoolyard now. Today is the 15th of September. It’s a holiday. Azerbaijani people celebrate the Knowledge Day, the first day of the academic year. It is an exciting day. The beginning of the new school year is an important day not only for students, but also for teachers and parents. However, this day is more interesting for the first-grade students.
