Uplifting Short Stories Anonymous 2017-01-19 10:46:10 Post No. 8997088 [Report]

Hi /lit/
I'm a high school teacher and have been told from 'above' that I need to work in 'uplifting' and 'cheerful' short stories into my curriculum. I teach in a very low socio-economic community and the thinking is that these students need to be shown alternatives to their current situation, not just reflections of it - so stories of drunken parents, sexual abuse, violence etc need to be avoided.
My problem is, I don't really remember any *good* short stories that have an uplifting theme.
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted
