At my school, there was a story about a friendly ghost in the old library. Supposedly, the ghost would help students find the books they needed. One student was really struggling to find a rare book for a research project. As they were about to give up, they felt a gentle nudge towards a corner of the library. And there, they found the exact book they were looking for. Whether it was really a ghost or just a coincidence, it made for a great school lore short story.
One school lore story could be about a haunted classroom. Students claim to see a shadowy figure at night. It might be just a product of overactive imaginations or perhaps there's an old, unresolved mystery there.
Once, at school, we had a science project competition. There was a girl who was known for being not so good at science. But she had a brilliant idea for a project about renewable energy.

Sure. One story could be about a shy new student who was really nervous on the first day. But then a friendly classmate invited him to sit together at lunch and showed him around the school. They became great friends by the end of the day.
Sure. One story could be about a group of students who formed a secret club in the boarding school. They would meet at midnight in the old attic and share spooky tales they had heard. Another might be about a new student who was really homesick at first but then made great friends through a school project and learned to love boarding school life.
Sure. Once in high school, there was a talent show. My friend decided to do a magic trick. He was so nervous that he dropped all his props on stage at the start. But instead of being embarrassed, he just started making jokes about it and ended up getting the biggest laugh and applause of the night.
In one school, there's a lore about a magical chalkboard. The story goes that if a teacher writes a problem on the chalkboard with a special red chalk that was left behind by an old, wise teacher decades ago, the answer will magically appear. Of course, it's likely just a fun story made up by students over the years to add some excitement to the otherwise ordinary classrooms.
Sure. There was a story about a small high school team. They were the underdogs in every game. But one day, their star player got injured right before a crucial match.

In middle school, a girl wanted to join the school band but was too shy to audition. Her friends secretly signed her up. When she found out, she was furious at first but then mustered the courage and aced the audition, becoming a great addition to the band. This shows how friends can push us out of our comfort zones in middle school.
Sure. There's the story of Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer. Rudolph was a reindeer with a shiny red nose that was made fun of by the other reindeer. But on a foggy Christmas Eve, his nose was so bright that it guided Santa's sleigh through the night. This story has been popularized in many books and movies.
One real story related to fairy lore is the Cottingley Fairies. In the early 20th century, two young girls in Cottingley, England, claimed to have photographed fairies. These photos were initially believed to be real evidence of fairies. It caused a great stir at the time. Later, it was revealed that the fairies were actually cut - outs from a book, but at the time, many people were truly fascinated by the idea of these 'fairy photos' and it became a well - known part of fairy lore.
