    A young boy wearing glasses and a backpack poses next to a school mascot costume (a wildcat/cougar) on his first day of first grade. The mascot is holding a chalkboard sign with the child's personal details including his grade, age, teacher's name, and future aspirations. The scene takes place outside a school building with parents and other students visible in the background.
    Two children pose for a photo in front of what appears to be a school entrance labeled 'Vicenza Elementary School.'
