    Members and volunteers of Patch Elementary School's Parent Teacher Association pose for a photo after their Schultüte Ceremony at Patch Elementary School on U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart on Aug. 22, 2025.

    The ceremony stems from a German tradition in which new students are gifted schultütes (school cones) to celebrate their first day of school and prepare them for the new school year.

    While traditionally given to first graders (as that is when German children typically begin their schooling), at USAG Stuttgart it is kindergarteners that are treated with colorful cones filled with crayons, pencils, and small supplies to celebrate the beginning of their educational journeys.
