Glps Panangad North Primary School

Our school is tucked away in Santhipuram, over in the Panagad area of Mathilakam. It’s a primary school, so we deal with the little ones mostly. Being in Glps Panangad North Primary School means we see a lot of the same families year after year. The building is simple. We have a few rooms and a small space for the kids to run around when it’s not raining too hard. The weather here can be a bit much sometimes, but we manage. The floors are concrete and we try to keep them swept, but kids always bring in a bit of dirt from outside. It's a quiet part of town compared to the bigger cities, which is nice. We spend a lot of time just showing the kids how to read and write their first words. It’s a lot of patience and repeating things. The staff room is small and we usually share snacks during the short break. We don't have fancy computer labs or anything like that. We just have some blackboards, some old books, and the benches the kids sit on. It feels like a real part of the village. People walk by and wave through the windows sometimes. We aren't trying to be anything other than a local primary school. It's just where we work and where the neighborhood kids start their learning. The roof gets a bit loud when it pours, but we keep going anyway.
