Huddleston hustles to student of the month. Ja-don Huddleston, high school junior, was selected as October student of the month. Jadon is the son of Jason and Nikki Huddle-ston.

In his free time, he does his homework and studies for tests. He also goes fish-ing and shoots hoops with his friends. Jadon hopes to pursue a medical career af-ter high school.

When fhe ound out he was student of the month, his reaction was “I feel amazed, I could not believe I got it.” Jadon is a very hardworking

student and never stops trying.

When GP stu-dents were asked why they thought Ja-don deserved to be student of the month, Clayton White, high school senior said, “He re-spects his teachers and other students around him. He is al-so a great friend and will always drop what he is doing just to help you.”

Nathan Wal-ston, high school jun-ior, said “He is hard-working and always gets good grades.”

Kaylie Scog-gins, high school jun-ior, added, “He al-ways ask what the homework is, be-cause he wants to make sure he does not miss anything.”

Jadon’s advice to other students who want to be student of the month is, “Always try your hardest at everything. Hard work pays off. Al-ways try to be a better person than you were yester-day.

To the freshmen, cherish every mo-ment you have here, make mem-ories and friends. Before you know it high school will be gone in a blink of an eye. Always try to be involved in extracurricular ac-tivities as much as you can.

Always be re-spectful to your peers and espe-cially your teach-ers; you will need

Hustling Huddleston Student of the Month

Mrs. Bingham and the Golden Apple Award

By: Paige Syrcle

Recently, Kristine Bing-

ham, teacher at GP, won

the WGEM Golden Apple

Award. Bingham teaches

fourth grade and has been

a teacher for many years

and she also sponsors the

cheerleading squad.

When we asked her how

she felt about winning she

said ”I feel very honored

and very surprised.” Mrs.

Bingham has been battling

cancer so she had to find

out how to manage that and

to teach at the same time.

She feels she won this

award because ”it was the

fight through cancer but

I missed very little days at

the school. She missed very

little days because the kids

needed her here and she

needed to think about some-

thing else besides cancer.

She felt that her students

were very happy and excited

that she won this award.”

Jeff Bourne, Principal at

them one of these days. Last, always be the bigger per-son.”

GP, added, “I’m very

proud and happy of her.

She's been teaching at

this school for a long time

because she is great at

her job.”

Bourne said “I believe

she got this award due to

her commitment for her

students and the

Griggsville-Perry School.”

Getting Spooky: Haunted House Review

By: Kaylie Scoggins

There are things

bumpin, jumpin,

twistin, turnin, and

screamin. One of the

most lit haunted houses

near Pike County is in

Hannibal, Jaycees: The

Warehouse of Night-

mares.

As soon as you

walk in the park you

see tons of people...and

clowns. The clowns

will come up to you

and try to get you in

the haunted house

mood. It costs $10 a

person and it is every

Friday and Saturday in

October.

After the 30

minute long wait in

line the anticipation

is high. Everyone is

ready to have people

scream in their fac-

es.

When you

first walk in you

have 3 seconds to

find the right door to

move onto the next

room. After that, you

walk to find your

way in the dark.

You go

through several

rooms before you

come to hallway

where the walls are

closing in. If you

are claustrophobic

then I do not recom-

mend this.

This is a tre-

mendous haunted

house. It is truly

scary, not cheesy. I

recommend it to an-

yone who wants a

scare.

On November 15

the world will be

blessed again.

Teen Wolf comes

back on! But, with

its arrival also

comes the end, as it

is the final season.

Fans have been

waiting for Teen

Wolf to come back

for 7 long, agonizing

months.

In Season 6, viewers are going to face many heartbreaking challenges. Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) has to face the problem of being erased from history. Oh No!! We also have the arrival of some

new villains in the town Beacon Hills. Over the course of 20 episodes, we will see how the group of friends stick to-gether to save each other, and them-selves. As an invested fan, I am literally heart broken that this is the last season. This is my all-time favor-ite show, as many already know. I have no idea what I am going to do with my Tuesday nights when the season ends.

There will be a 5K

“Turkey Trek” on Novem-

ber 12th, 2016 at 10am

Pledge comes to GP

In past years the Griggsville Perry staff has discussed about bringing back the pledge to G-P and it fi-nally came back this week! Cathy McDaniel, Secre-tary, said, “Mr. Bourne told me that we were going to bring it back”.

She also said “that they will put it over the inter-com and the helpers in the office and the staff will be saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

Mr. Bourne, Principal, said, “It was brought to my attention that almost every school does it so we should also.” When asked how it would be organized, Bourne said the office

Teen Wolf is back!

staff will organize it by hav-ing the pledge and then having the announcements after the tardy bell.

A difficulty that con-cerns Bourne is having the teachers and staff turn in the announcements before 8:15 a.m. Although saying the pledge will at least cut into about five to ten minutes of first hour it is for a good reason.
