The new school year has officially started for younger students at Smiltene Secondary School, covering grades 1, 2 and 3. Among those crossing the school threshold on September 1 were 90 first-graders, for whom the day marks the beginning of their educational journey.

The occasion was documented in photos and video by Sandra Pētersone, with the materials published on the Ziemeļlatvija.lv news portal. The report reflects the traditional start of the Latvian Knowledge Day, celebrated annually at educational institutions across the country, including in Smiltene.

The source material does not provide further details about specific event elements, speeches, or additional occurrences — the publication primarily serves as a visual record of the new school year's beginning at Smiltene Secondary School.
