Over 1,500 teachers and students in Lao Cai form national flag
Celebrating National Day on September 2 alongside the rest of the country, more than 1,500 staff, teachers, and students of Nguyen Hue High School in Lao Cai province held a welcome program for incoming 10th graders themed "Proud of Vietnam."
The highlight of the event was a large-scale group performance and formation. On the school yard, over 1,500 teachers and students dressed in red and yellow moved in synchronization into assigned positions. From neat rows, they created a bright red flag with a gold star, followed by the display of the words "VIET NAM" and the numbers "2/9."
Quick movement, smooth coordination, and teamwork created a special scene on the school ground. The national flag, the word "VIET NAM," and the date "2/9" conveyed a lively yet solemn atmosphere, showing the patriotism and pride of the younger generation.
Alongside the human formation, a cultural program titled "Proud of Vietnam" written, choreographed, and performed by the teachers and students themselves, left a lasting impression, spreading love for the homeland.
For new 10th graders, the event marked the beginning of a new chapter in their school years. Taking part in National Day activities with their teachers and senior peers, many expressed excitement and pride.
