When you're a kid, some places just seem so magical. And usually, the more mysterious a place is, the more magical and tempting it is to go there. That’s exactly how Bill Harley felt as an elementary schooler about the teachers' lounge. Bill was familiar with every other room in the school, but the teachers' lounge was like an alien planet. In his story, "The Teachers' Lounge", Bill catches a glimpse of this mysterious room, and also learns a thing or two about bravery and friendship. You'll also hear from Bil Lepp and Jill Lamede. We hope the stories we bring you today - and every day - spark memories for you that you can share with the people that you love.
