First bells ring in schools across Kyrgyzstan

Two first-year students ringing the "first bell" run around the square in front of Birdik School, Birdik Villiage, Kyrgyzstan, Sept. 3, 2013. This Russian tradition on the first day of school involves songs, dances, and speeches before the senior students guide the first-year students into classes.
