This Sunday, September 1, in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, schoolchildren are preparing to say goodbye to summer as the return to school approaches quickly. With books in hand and smiles on their faces, they are making the most of this last day of freedom, filled with games, laughter, and family moments. The next day will mark the start of classes for a new school year, but today, every moment counts.
A day dedicated to fun
In the lively parks and streets of the city, children play hide-and-seek, enjoy the sunny terraces of cafes, and try their hand at pétanque in public gardens. Families gather for impromptu picnics, while ice creams slowly melt under the rays of a still-present summer sun. Aix-en-Provence, with its charming alleys, becomes the ideal playground for these young adventurers.
Preparations for the new school year
Amid the festivities, parents are also busy preparing for the new school year. New backpacks, school supplies, and clothes are carefully selected. Everyone organizes to ensure that the return to class goes as smoothly as possible. This moment is often a source of apprehension mixed with excitement for both children and parents. Discussions about the supply list seem to liven up more than one family lunch that day.
A glance towards the future
For some schoolchildren, this return to school represents a new step, especially for students entering Sixth Grade or those continuing their education in different schools. Tears mingle with laughter during farewells between friends, who promise to reunite on the school benches. Dreams, hopes, and ambitions begin to blossom for this new year, which promises to be rich in discoveries and learning.
The beginning of a new school season
As the return to school draws near, the city of Aix-en-Provence is preparing to experience the hustle and bustle of school life again. The streets, usually quiet during this summer period, will fill with the laughter and shouts of schoolchildren, bringing life to the city. Each participant in this educational adventure – teachers, students, and families – is ready to enter the 2024-2025 school year with energy and enthusiasm.
