Yesterday was the first day of school. FyA 44 has a tradition of putting on a "
Buen Inicio del Año Escolar" (Good Beginning of the School Year) event each year. The day begins with a schoolwide mass, then students and teachers break off to their respective levels (Preschool, Elementary, High School). At
Secundaria (High School) the day started with field day style games, and was followed by a dance that culminated in an inter-grade dance competition which the first year students won.*
Dismisal was 2 and a half hours early, and there were no classes. Teachers had to stay for meetings. Today classes begin for real. But here's a glimpse at the fun that was had yesterday.
*Let's clarify something about school in Peru.
Primaria (Primary school) is 1st through 6th grade.
Secundaria (Secondary school) is referred to as 1st through 5th. I'll be referring to high school students as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th years.
