In the classroom, young minds awake
To knowledge’s call
So many ideas to make.
With each lesson, a new world uncurls
A sacred space for boys and girls.
Books crack open, like doors to new lands
Guided by the teacher's patient hands.
Friendships blossom in this shared class
Every lesson
We try our best.
Tests and trials, part of the ride
With every struggle, growth inside.
School is not just about the tests and scores,
It’s life's practice opening doors!
