There was this one time in 2nd grade when me and my classmates sneaked out of our classroom during recess to search for this elusive 'hidden room' we'd heard rumors about. We had no such luck, but while wandering the hallways we ran into the principal instead, which led to a week of detention for each of us. Turned out the 'hidden room' was his office! That was definitely an exciting day, and it's still a funny story I tell sometimes. Can't wait to hear your school stories!

Oh my gosh, that's such a cute story!

It made me think of a similar instance from when I was in elementary school. We had heard rumors about a "ghost" that lived in the old janitor's closet on the first floor. A group of us sneaked out during lunch to investigate and find this ghost. Luckily, we didn't run into any teachers or the principal, but we did discover that the "ghost" was just an old forgotten mannequin that the art class had adorned with some pretty scary makeup. We were still in big trouble when the teacher found out about our missing lunch period, though!
