Apple Public School

Our school is located on Jopul Road in Pimpalgaon Baswant. Being in the Nashik district, we are surrounded by a lot of agricultural land, so the air feels a bit different than the big cities. The school is called Apple, which is a bit of a funny name for this area, but people know us. We have a simple building that we try to keep clean. Most of the kids come from the surrounding villages, often arriving on the school buses that go out early in the morning. The staff room is small and usually smells like tea. We spend our days going from one classroom to another. We have a basic field where the kids play sports, though it’s mostly just dirt and some dry grass. It’s a practical place. We don't use a lot of big words or have fancy meetings. We just teach the subjects, mark the papers, and talk to the parents when they come by on Saturdays. Sometimes the water pump acts up, and we have to get someone to fix it, but that's just part of managing a building here. It's a quiet life for the most part, focusing on the work at hand and making sure the school day goes by without too many problems. We keep the registers updated and try to stay ahead of the paperwork.
