Sunrise Public School

Sunrise Public School is right here on Udaipurwati Road in Jhunjhunu. It is a place where we spend most of our days, from the early morning when the sun hits the front gate until the afternoon when the last bus leaves. The building sits in a quiet part of Udaipurwati, and you can usually hear the sound of kids reciting their lessons if you walk past. We have been here for a while now. Most people around here know where we are. The classrooms are simple, with desks and blackboards that have seen better days but still do the job. We don’t have fancy carpets or big glass walls. It is just a school where children come to learn their subjects and play in the dirt during lunch break. Sometimes the dust from the road blows in, so we have to sweep the floors twice a day. The teachers live nearby and usually walk or ride their bikes to work. It gets quite hot in the summer months, so the fans stay running all day long. We have a small yard where the older boys play cricket and the younger ones just run around. It isn't a huge place, but it is ours. We focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the kids understand what they are reading. That is basically what happens here every single day from Monday to Saturday.
