Sidda Shree School

Our place is right on Sira Road here in Nittur. If you are driving through this part of town, you have probably seen the gate as you pass by. It is a fairly straightforward setup. We have the usual grades and the teachers come in and do their thing every single day. It is not exactly a quiet area because of all the traffic on Sira Road, but the students don't seem to mind the noise much anymore. We have been a part of the Nittur community for a while now. The desks are a bit old, and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but they hold up well enough for what we need. We don't have a huge staff, so everyone ends up doing a bit of everything, from fixing a leaky tap to helping a student with extra homework. It is a lot of work running a school in a place like this. We get to see the kids grow up from little ones to teenagers, which is always something to watch. The playground is mostly dirt, but it serves its purpose for football or just running around during lunch. We keep a close eye on the gate since the road is so busy. Mornings are the most hectic time when everyone is arriving at once. After that, it settles into a routine of lessons and breaks. We just try to provide a decent place for the kids. (254 words)
