Dear distinguished guests,

Dear respected teachers and beloved students,

We all have our first day of school, a day that leaves a lasting memory in each of our lives. It's a time filled with excitement, anticipation, and a bit of nervousness. These emotions are shared by all students, especially the first graders who are attending school for the very first time.

This year, just like every year, the excitement and nervousness of the first day of school are visible not only on the faces of the parents but also on the hesitant steps of the first-grade students themselves.

Not long ago, these children were small, beautiful buds cradled lovingly in their parents’ arms. Today, they step into the primary school with joy and hope, embarking on a significant milestone in their lives.

To begin the opening ceremony of the academic year 20XX - 20XX, we will now welcome the first-grade students.

Dear distinguished guests,

Dear respected teachers,

They are entering their beloved school with joy and excitement, eager to learn and play in this nurturing environment. These students represent the future of our nation, joining in the celebration of the school’s opening ceremony.

Distinguished guests, dear teachers, and beloved students,

Today, our school is filled with excitement as we warmly welcome nearly 100 little angels ready to start their journey in first grade for the school year 20XX - 20XX. We are honored to invite teacher ... the party secretary and principal of our school, to welcome these new first-grade students. The gentle autumn sun is shining brightly, stirring our hearts as it glows like golden threads connecting our hands together.

We encourage them to strive to be well-behaved, diligent, and excel in their studies, becoming the beautiful flowers in the vibrant garden of our school.

Goodbye to the beloved kindergarten years, where they were surrounded by the warmth of childhood stories and fairytales, as they step into first grade with new responsibilities—learning. Our teachers, like second mothers, are ready to welcome them with open arms. They will teach the students to read, write, and solve problems, opening the door to a world of knowledge. Our teachers will give wings to their dreams, helping them soar higher and farther. (Introduction of the homeroom teachers). We extend our love, trust, and hope to both our teachers and students.

In celebration of the common joy of the "National Day for Children to Go to School," before we begin the opening ceremony for the new school year, we invite all delegates, teachers, and students to join us in welcoming the young students as they transition from kindergarten to primary school.

"On the first day of school, my mother led me by the hand, and I walked while crying, as my mother comforted me with love." Yes, surely each of us still remembers the first day we carried our books to school. That was a day we could never forget.

From the school gate, XX beloved children—these fresh buds—are waiting for their teachers to welcome them into first grade. Let’s give them a warm round of applause to greet them.

Dear students! Every year, during the autumn season, you eagerly look forward to the opening day of school, returning to the familiar school grounds, with the shade of the trees on the playground and the loving eyes of the teachers, and the deep friendship of your classmates. Today, these little sprouts, who have just left kindergarten, are now with us on this opening day, and though their innocent faces show signs of nervousness and uncertainty, their parents’ anxiety is palpable as they take the first step into first grade.

Today is your first day at school, a day that will be forever etched in your memories. Each day, you will be guided and taught by your senior classmates and your teachers, becoming good students. We are confident you will soon become well-behaved, diligent students, honoring your parents' sacrifice and the nurturing care of your teachers.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we respectfully invite:

Honorable delegates, Esteemed teachers, and dear students!

We all have a first day of school. It is a day etched in the memory of every individual. It is filled with excitement, nervousness, and uncertainty. These emotions reflect the feelings of the first-grade students as they step into school for the very first time.

Today is that significant day for XX first-grade students of XX Primary School.

Just like every year, the anticipation and excitement for the first day of school are visible not only on the faces of the parents but also in the hesitant steps of the first-grade students.

Not long ago, these students were the little buds of life, cradled in their parents’ arms. Today, they arrive at school filled with the joy and pride of their parents. It is a major milestone in their lives and a moment of immense happiness for their families.

As they step into primary school for the first time, the first-grade students will certainly feel nervous and shy at first. However, these initial feelings will soon be replaced by excitement and pride, as they are warmly welcomed by teachers and older students who have prepared a respectful ceremony for them.

That initial nervousness fades away in the smiles of the students as they meet their new homeroom teachers. And from today on, the parents no longer feel like visitors—they too officially become part of the school family.

With the nurturing care of the teachers and senior students, these first-grade students will soon integrate and thrive at school. As they begin this new chapter, we are confident they will become exemplary students, diligent in their studies, active in community activities, and will grow to be responsible citizens who honor their parents and teachers.

The poet Viễn Phương captures the unforgettable memory of the first day of school with the following lines:

“The first day of school

Mother held my hand to school

I walked, crying

Mother comforted me lovingly.

The first day of school

Tears blurred my eyes

The teacher comforted me

Oh, how deeply it touched me”

Before us now are XX first-grade students, stepping into their future as the next generation of the country. At this important moment, we invite the honored guests, teachers, and students to open their arms and warmly welcome the 81 first-grade students with joy and pride. Let us give them a resounding round of applause!

Leading the first grade is XX student from class 1A, under the guidance of teacher...

Following class 1A is XX student from class 1B, guided by teacher...

Finally, let’s warmly welcome XX students from class 1C, under the guidance of teacher...

We ask all delegates, teachers, and students to join us in a heartfelt round of applause to welcome these young students.

Today is their first day at school, a momentous occasion etched in the memories of their childhood. Every day, they will be guided by older students and their teachers to grow into capable and responsible individuals. Together, with the collaboration of “School-Family-Society,”

The future awaits these students, and we are certain that they will strive to become good children, excellent students, and worthy citizens to repay the love and care of their parents and teachers.

The faculty of XX Primary School wishes all the students a bright and successful year, filled with joy and accomplishments. We hope that, with the foundation laid at our nationally accredited school (level 1), XX Primary School students will soar even higher, continuing to achieve great intellectual heights, while maintaining the title of an advanced school at the provincial level, striving to meet national education standards in the 20XX-20XX school year.

Once again, we ask everyone to join us in a warm round of applause to welcome the students as they officially begin the new school year.

The welcome ceremony for the first-grade students has now concluded. We sincerely thank the enthusiastic support of our honored delegates, esteemed teachers, and all the students.
