About: Bulgarian celebrities posted family moments as more than 55,000 first-graders started the 2026/2027 school year on 15 September, with bouquets, first bells and proud parents filling social feeds.

On 15 September 2026, schools across Bulgaria opened for the new academic year, and several well-known names from music, television and entertainment posted the same ritual their audiences know from their own childhoods: a child in a fresh outfit, a bouquet for the teacher, and a parent trying to hold the camera steady.

The Ministry of Education and Science said more than 55,000 first-graders crossed a school threshold for the first time that day, among more than 700,000 pupils at 2,322 schools. The date is set in law and has marked the start of the Bulgarian school year, with interruptions, since 1921. Education Minister Georgi Valchev issued a public greeting to teachers, pupils and parents. Those official figures formed the backdrop for the private pictures that then circulated on Instagram and Facebook.

Entertainment sites including woman.bg, Ladyzone, life.dir.bg, Fakti.bg and Novini247 compiled the posts. Reality personality Zlatka Raykova wrote that her son Blagoy Jr. had taken “a huge step” and was now a first-grader. Reports said he started at a private school in Sofia that emphasises Chinese, and that he was photographed with a large bouquet. The same school was named in coverage of Svetlana Vasileva’s eldest daughter, Anelia. Fakti.bg reported that the two children began first grade together at the Evlogi and Hristo Georgievi private school, and that children of pop-folk singer Fiki Storaro also attend there. Fiki’s son Tuncher was listed among the new first-graders.

Singer Mona posted a video in which she prepared for her son Nikola’s first day and did not hide her tears. Accompanying text quoted in Bulgarian media read, in substance, that her boy was now in first grade. Journalist and writer Georgi Blazhev published a message to his son on the same morning, calling the day another home for the child’s laughter and writing that he was grateful for “the sweetest tears of joy.” Former Miss Bulgaria Antonia Petrova-Batinkova appeared with partner Ivaylo Batinkov and their two boys. Television personality Desi Tsoneva posted photographs under the line “Hello, first grade,” with reports placing her daughter at Sofia’s 52nd school.

Actor Naum Shopov and Tea Minkova shared images of their daughter Amaya entering a preschool group; some private schools held ceremonies a day earlier, on 14 September. Presenter Andrei Arnaudov posted a family photograph before the ceremony for his son Vasil, named after his grandfather, the conductor Vasil Arnaudov. Other names that appeared in the same round-ups included Stasi Gancheva, whose son Teo was photographed at the Italian Lyceum; Orlin Pavlov, whose daughter Elizabet was shown in a dotted dress; pop-folk singer Preslava, whose daughter Paola started school after her seventh birthday; and actress Kateto Evro, who posted about sending her granddaughter Katerina.

The pictures followed a familiar Bulgarian pattern: white or festive clothes, flowers, and a first bell. Coverage also noted that many public figures chose private schools, a point several tabloids emphasised without publishing a complete national breakdown of celebrity enrolments. Those claims rest on the parents’ own posts and on secondary reporting by lifestyle outlets. Independent confirmation of every school name and grade was not available from the Education Ministry, which does not list individual pupils.

For readers following Bulgarian entertainment, the posts were less a scandal than a seasonal album: famous parents doing what thousands of other families did on the same Tuesday. Further photographs and earlier round-ups remain collected at https://fashiontalktoday.com/, which tracks how public figures in Bulgaria mark ordinary calendar days when those days belong to their children.

The first-day posts cannot be verified beyond what the parents published and what entertainment desks republished. Where a child’s exact school or class was named only in secondary reports, that detail should be read as reported, not as an official register.
