Crayons Public School

Our school is over at No 90 on Thudialur Road in the Idigarai area of Coimbatore. It is a nice spot because Idigarai is a bit quieter than the middle of Coimbatore city. Crayons Public School is a place where you can hear kids playing even from the street. The building is painted in bright colors, though some spots are peeling a bit from the sun. We have a small garden in the front that we try to keep green, but the Coimbatore heat makes it tough sometimes. Most of the staff live nearby, so we often see each other at the market after work. The school day usually goes by in a blur of bells and noisy hallways. We have desks that have seen a lot of use over the years, with names scratched into the wood here and there. It’s not a fancy private academy with marble floors; it’s a neighborhood school for local families. Parents usually walk their kids to the gate or drop them off on scooters. We spend our afternoons sitting under the fans trying to get the grading done before the sun goes down. The 641022 area is growing fast, with new houses popping up all around us, but we stay pretty much the same. It is just a steady, everyday kind of place for learning and growing up.
