Scary Stories Part 4
Shriekville - Blake - 5th grade
"I can't believe this is really happening! " My parents must have gone nuts. They just announced to me, that we are moving! Don't they see I see I am settled here, have great friends, love my school and play sports! "Honey, we are only moving 2 hours away to Shreikville." says mom.
While I am packing my bags, I surf the internet and find that Shreikville is the smallest town on the map. It's supposed to be haunted, but who would believe that silly tale. On our way there I play my PSP and my brother Ethan was singing to VeggieTales. How annoying!
When we arrived, I jumped out of the car of desperate need of silence. The house is big, old, and colorless. " Mom, Dad, do you expect me to live in this oversized trash can? " I asked.
"Blake, give it time, you will get used to it. " mom said. As I began to unpack in my new bedroom, the door slammed shut. "Bam!!" The window suddenly started shaking. Then the next thing I know my bag flew across the room and hit my door. Scared out of my mind, I ran up and down the hall screaming like a crazy guy. I suddenly stop….
I hear loud music. It's the "Monster Mash" blaring. I feel something grab my arm, but no one is there. My heart is racing as fast as a cheetah. My brother thinks its funny so he starts doing it too. Ethan looks like a Zombie Robot. His teeth turn into fangs. " Yummy, I'm hungry.." all of a sudden my hands drop and I can move again. I bolt out the front door running through town looking for help.
All I can see is horrible creatures of the dark. Vampires, zombies, and werewolves were all chasing me. I am sweating like a pig, my legs go numb. I fall off a cliff info a lake. I feel soaking wet…I awake in my bed, safe and sound, but still wet if you know what I mean. Just a little tip, don't drink to much soda on Halloween night. Happy Halloween.
Autumn - No One Looked
Walking slowly down the stairs, the boy felt a slight breath of wind on his neck. The boy walked faster when he noticed he was going nowhere. So he stopped and without moving, he was going up the stairs. He yelled really loud, but no one heard him. As he was going up as door opened on the house. He tried to stop himself, but he just couldn't. The boy was in the room, the door locked, he couldn't get out, so he gave up. Everyone was looking for him, but no one looked, not once looked in the abandoned house.
A Halloween to Remember
Ashley - 5th Grade
One night Molly and Chad were changing into their costumes for a Halloween party. Molly is 11 years old and wearing a cupcake costume. The cupcake costume was a big hoop with pink and blue fabric over it and tiny sparkly confetti as sprinkles. While chad is 12 and wearing a ghost costume. His costume was a long white sheet and a scary mask over his head. Molly said, " You ready? " "Yes?" replied Chad. They both walked out the door to the Halloween party.
They started up the stairs and opened the door. The party was full of crazy, cute, and scary costumes. When they stepped in the door it slammed shut behind them. Chad said, "That was weird." Chad and Molly walked over to the food table. On the food table, there where potato chips, pretzels, cheese-its, pizza, and a huge double layer cake with tons of black, orange, and red icing, brownies, pumpkin pie, and finally the cupcakes. The cupcakes were chocolate with orange icing and black sprinkles.
Some people around them automatically turned into mummies. Chad and Molly ate a cupcake and turned into mummies. All the mummies formed a line and start walking up the stairs so they followed. The line turned right into a room. The room was pitch black. Then a white figure came walking toward us. It came closer and closer when a hand started crawling with it. The hand and white figure crawled up to them when… "Ah!!" it yelled. The sheet came over its head and out popped Chad's friend. Everyone screamed and Chad's friends started cracking up. Chad said, "This is Chase." "
How did you make the hand so real? " Molly asked Chase. "I had a string and since it was pitch black no one could see it," replied Chase. After everyone started leaving Molly and Chad turned into their real self. While people walked out the door it opened right for them and slammed behind them. "Weird," said Molly. Chad replied, "I agree." Before leaving Chad and Molly got two extra cupcakes, just to keep handy...

Scary Stories Part 3
Midnight at the Mansion - By Alyssa - 5th grade
It was just a normal night on Halloween, but it was very quiet. No one came trick or treating. At that very moment I heard screams and yells. The I felt hairs stand up on the back of my neck. There was someone touching me, so I yelled, "Go Away!! " , but no one was there. I was scared so I walked around the block. When I was walking I saw a huge party at a mansion, so I thought no one would notice and walked right on in. Then the door shut and locked behind me, and at that moment I was trembling with fear. I noticed the clock struck twelve. "What mess have I gotten myself into?" I said to myself. All of a sudden I for picked up and thrown all the way across the room. When I was in the air I heard a whispering voice say, "Why are you here? " I yelled "Ghost!!!" I tried to get out, but the doors were still locked and I needed to think fast.
There was a dimly lit hallway to my left so I ran as fast as I could away from the ghost. As I was running, the hallway seemed to stretch right before my eyes. It just kept getting longer and longer as I ran and ran. As I ran past each door I heard all different screams from behind them and the lights started to flicker on and off. I started to shake really bad and had this feeling that I was being watched from every direction.
I finally decided to face my biggest fears and open on of the doors, hoping to escape this nightmare. When I opened the door a horrific ghostly figure with rusty old chains hanging from its arms and neck came charging right towards me. I threw my arms up in defense and let out the biggest scream of my life ! I closed the door quicker than I could blink. I took off running again, even faster than before and spotted a door that seemed to have light coming from behind it. I opened the door and…
I woke up to a bright Fall sky in the morning. I said to myself, "Wow, that was the worst nightmare ever had." I threw my covers back to hop out of bed and "clank", a rusty old chain fell to my floor! Was I dreaming or ???
Hannah A. - 5th grade Ella
I was laying in my bed. Sweat beading down my forehead, asking myself the same question over and over, "What lies behind my door and what does it want with me?" I could barely make out a soft creaking noise through my heartbeat. Someone, or something was waiting. I
knew it couldn't be my mom or dad, for they were away at my Aunt Lisa's. I wished now more than ever that they were here. Not only is there someone waiting and listening, there was a storm that had been blowing up for about forty-five minutes. The I heard the sharp sound of a vase breaking. I was even more frightened. Not only was there a criminal in my house, there was a clumsily criminal in the house, and now it knew that I knew it was here. I waited for it's decent. Just me waiting. Then I heard a remarkable noise. It was the bark of my four year old Labradoodle Ella. "Oh No!" I said aloud. If Ella was in danger then I had to help her. I jumped out of bed and ran to the door. I quickly turned the doorknob.
Then I saw Ella was afraid. I scoured the house with her looking for whatever criminal was there. After checking every room from head to toe I realized one thing; Ella was afraid of the storm and she was the one who broke the vase and was waiting by my door. I panted a sigh of relief. Then I let Ella come with me to bed. The End… Or at least I thought it was the end. But I was wrong. It wasn't anywhere near the end. It was just the beginning . When I woke up that morning Ella was gone. Yah, you heard me, gone. Now I was really worried. Ella was my best friend. I thought about calling my parents, but I decided I didn't want to worry too. It was bad enough that I was scared, and probably Ella too if she was still alive. By one o'clock I lost it. I couldn't pull it together. I thought I would always be a sobbing ball nestled in the corner of the living room. But by three o'clock I pulled myself together enough to make posters and put them up around the neighborhood. I had figured someone would answer me.
Three days later and not one person did. I decided instead of waiting I would take action. I packed
my backpack with a ham sandwich, a banana, and Ella's favorite treat. Instead of quickly pulling my shoes on like I usually do, I carefully tied the laces. I threw my book bag on and strapped on my helmet. Then I hopped on my bike. I decided I would go straight down Lee Street and turn left on Meadow Lane. I would ride for about an hour and a half and then I would turn around. As I rode I looked from side to side screaming, "Ella, Ella! " But she didn't come.
Then I saw a scruffy man. There was a dog next to him. But it wasn't just any dog, it was Ella! I knew a twelve year old girl wouldn't be that intimidating, but I tried. "Give me that dog back!" I yelled. "What if I don't?" replied the man. "I'll call the police." I continued. "I'm so scared." he said.
"You better be." said a voice behind me. It was a police officer. He must have been watching. But as soon as he said that the scruffy man darted away faster than lighting. Ella came running towards me. After we reunited, I thanked the police officer and went home. THE END
The Spooky Story - Austin - 5th grade
One Halloween I went trick or treating with my friends. After I was done getting candy I went back to my house to see what candy I got. I went through my candy, and I found some candy that was open so I threw it away. After I threw away the candy I counted it all up and I had 298 pieces of candy left in my bag. I asked my mom, "Can i have some candy?" She said " You can have a couple of pieces." So I ate some candy and then got dressed for bed. I was in bed and I put my covers on and then turned off the lights. I went to sleep then woke up at about 1:00 in the morning. I woke up because I heard a strange noise at my window.
I got up to see what the noise was. I looked out my window and I saw a zombie though the window making a really weird noise. I was frightened when I heard he noise. So I ran info my mom's room to tell her what I saw . She said " Your dad and I will go outside and see what is going on." I said, "Ok, I will also come outside with you and investigate. " So we went outside to see what it was and it was a person wearing a zombie mask trying to scare people on Halloween. My mom said, "Go inside and get the phone. We are going to call the cops and get this guy put in jail for trying to scare you at 1:00 in the morning." So I did what she said, and I called the cops and they said they would be over in 15 minutes with handcuffs and arrest him.
15 minutes later the cops were here and they asked the kid.
" What was he going trying to scare people at 1:00 in the morning. People have to go to work in the morning, instead you are out here trying to scare their kids and they have to come outside and see what is going on when they should be sleeping." The kid in the mask said " I was just trying to have some fun and have a good laugh on Halloween. That's all I did not mean to scare them. I just wanted to have some fun."
"For this time, I will just let you off with a warning, okay. " said the cop. "Okay," said the kid. " I will not do it again." The cop said, " I need to talk with the people about what happened, so could you please leave." " Yes." replied the kid as he was walking away.
"Okay, now if you have any more problems just call me. I will be at my office till about 8:00 in the morning. Please call me if you have any problems." said the officer.
"I will, and thank you for all your help. Have a good night officer" I said. "You too," he replied.
"Now Austin, you need to get some rest you have to go to school in the morning. I said "ok" and good night to mom and dad. So I went up to my room and went to sleep. Well, my parents thought I went to sleep, but I was really getting ready to play a prank on my parents. The kids out in the yard before in my story was helping me plan the whole thing. We had been planning it for 2 weeks at school, and while we were trick or treating, we planned it and I told him to come over to my house and we would play a trick on my parents when they were asleep.
At 2:30 in the morning my parents were asleep, so I went down stairs and let him in. We went upstairs and got our costumes on and got ready to scare my parents. At about 2:45 am, we were both ready and went in my parent's room. I planned that I would lay on the floor and I would scream help! We were ready for action so I screamed help!! My mom and dad got up very quickly to see what was going on. Me and my friend burst out laughing. My parents were so mad they had a long talk with us about what we did.

Amenah 7th Grade - A Scary Story
One day my family and I were moving to Spookeville Arkansas from Chicago. Spookeville sounds like a scary place. We moved into are new home and I chose the bedroom in attic. My reasoning for choosing this bedroom is that I have three younger brothers that drive me crazy.
I spent the rest of my day unpacking my stuff so I can get a very good night sleep. The moment I close my eyes the window starts rattling and I can feel something moving into the room. I getup and I shut the window. But something kept trying to shake the window open. I ran downstairs to wake mom and dad. They came upstairs but nothing was wrong they couldn’t understand what I was saying. I was able to sleep that night. The next morning I figured nothing was wrong it was just an accident.
The same occurrence happened every night for the next week. I’m getting really scared because mom and dad don’t believe me. The next morning after I ate breakfast, walked to school and ran into Doua. Doua was a friend I met the first day of school. I told Doua about what happened to me in my bedroom. Didn’t anybody tell you there was a ghost living in that house? Really, that night I go home and tell my family about the fact that people believe there is a ghost in the house. If there really is a ghost in the house we might as well make the ghost welcome.
That night I opened the window put a pillow and blanket under the window closed my eyes and went to sleep. In the morning the window was closed and notes on the pillow thanking me for making her feel welcome. I told everyone what happened and we never had a problem ever again!

Later that night, he went to the mansion. Now the reason why it was haunted is because at 12:00 midnight a head would come out from the chimney. So when he was there he was a little scared.
11:50 ten more minutes. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. 11:55 five more minutes. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. 12:00 La la la la la la is what he had heard. Then, BEHOLD! THE HEAD! So the little boy ran out screaming. THE END, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The Kid Who Cried Vampire
Once there was a kid named Jake, and he had an older sister named Vanessa. They were moving to a cold big house in Chicago. They did not want to go to Chicago, because they would have to leave their friends. Jake is in the 8th grade and Vanessa is in the 12th grade. They were now in Chicago. When they got to the house they went inside and the doors slammed shut tight, and they wouldn't open. They all went to look for rooms for themselves. Once they were done unpacking. they went out for dinner.
Later that evening when their mom and dad were asleep, Jake and Vanessa snuck out to a party they heard about. Soon they were at the party. When they got their they wanted to make some new friends, but they had skin that was really white. Then Jake went up to one and she smiled. And Jake said, "Vampire!" And Vanessa said, "What ?" And Jake said, "They are all vampires." And Vanessa said, "Let's get out of here! " And a vampire said, "Get them and suck their blood. "
Now the vampires were chasing Jake and Vanessa. Soon one of the Vampires decided to turn into a bat, and flew up and bit Jake. Then Jake bit Vanessa. Then they both turned into bats and flew home. They went inside and told them about it, and their mom and dad freaked out. Then Jake and Vanessa bit their mom and dad and they turned into vampires. Then their mom said , "Let's kick some vampire booty!" Then their mom and dad went out and kicked vampire booty. And then they all went out for breakfast.
One day my family and I were moving to Spookeville Arkansas from Chicago. Spookeville sounds like a scary place. We moved into are new home and I chose the bedroom in attic. My reasoning for choosing this bedroom is that I have three younger brothers that drive me crazy.
I spent the rest of my day unpacking my stuff so I can get a very good night sleep. The moment I close my eyes the window starts rattling and I can feel something moving into the room. I getup and I shut the window. But something kept trying to shake the window open. I ran downstairs to wake mom and dad. They came upstairs but nothing was wrong they couldn’t understand what I was saying. I was able to sleep that night. The next morning I figured nothing was wrong it was just an accident.
The same occurrence happened every night for the next week. I’m getting really scared because mom and dad don’t believe me. The next morning after I ate breakfast, walked to school and ran into Doua. Doua was a friend I met the first day of school. I told Doua about what happened to me in my bedroom. Didn’t anybody tell you there was a ghost living in that house? Really, that night I go home and tell my family about the fact that people believe there is a ghost in the house. If there really is a ghost in the house we might as well make the ghost welcome.
That night I opened the window put a pillow and blanket under the window closed my eyes and went to sleep. In the morning the window was closed and notes on the pillow thanking me for making her feel welcome. I told everyone what happened and we never had a problem ever again!

The Christophers were moving into the haunted house on the block. They had no clue that the house was haunted. One night right before Jessie and Tori were going to bed, they heard the cabinet slam. jessie and Tori went to see what was going on. They saw a shadow person saying, "Ooohhhh." jessie and Tori called Jill and their parents in and everyone saw the shadow person. The Christophers all ran out of the house. They called their grandmother to come and pick them up. The next day the Christophers returned home. Jessie and Tori went to go to their bedrooms. They noticed that something was shining in the closet. Jessie and Tori went to get their parents. When their parents looked, nothing was there. Jessie and Tori went into the living room with the rest of their family. The Christophers moved to a new city and no one ever saw them again.
The Haunted House by Angel -fourth grade
It all started on halloween night. My friend and I were going through a haunted house. It was really scary. As we were going through, there were spider webs, skeletons and a witch that touched Jessie and me. After the scary house, we got candy and gum. As we were walking, we kept on hearing different noises.
"That's strange," I said.
Jessie said,"Let's go back to the haunted house."
I said, "Okay."
As we were going back to the haunted house, this man kept on following us. We finally got back to the haunted house. When we were leaving the haunted house, the man was still following us. A little girl came out crying. She told us that her $20.00 had been stolen. Her name was Lily. We asked her who took it. She said it was some man. When we looked behind us, the man took off running. We knew he took the money. Finally we called the police. When we got back to the haunted house we gave Lily her money.
Her mom told us, "Thank you."
I told Jessie," Next time, let's go somewhere else."

My Thoughts by RJ "Who is your friend? "
A couple weeks ago I wrote about being a friend. Some people have asked, "Who is supposed to be my friend? " A better way to ask would be who are you supposed to be a friend to. There is a story that talks about this. It is called the tale of "The Good Samaritan" . The story below is taken from "The Message". The credit can be found in the attached comment.
Luke 10:25-37 The Message
There was once a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way he was attacked by robbers. They took his clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead. Luckily, a priest was on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the other side. Then a Levite religious man showed up; he also avoided the injured man. A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill—I'll pay you on my way back.' "What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?" "The one who treated him kindly," the religion scholar responded. Jesus said, "Go and do the same."
For those of you who have never heard this story, the Samaritans were disliked by the Jewish people of that day. They treated them like outcasts and mostly avoided them. Priests were religious leaders and Levites were religious leaders who acted as teachers and judges in the community. They were very important people. Yet when they came upon the injured man, they avoided him. Why? Before you get too high and mighty, why do you avoid people who are hurting or need help? Sure you may not come across someone beaten up on the side of the road, but what about the person who sits by themselves on the bus, the last one picked for games, the person who is struggling in class you are good at, or the person everyone picks on because they don't fit in. So why would you leave them behind? It's not a very nice thing to do. And for those of you who take advantage of people who are younger or not as strong as you, it's more than just not nice, it's bullying. Just don't bully people. So how can you stop bullying, reach out to others. Be the good Samaritan in your school. People look at you weird when you stand up for a person being teased and take the time to listen to the person in your class who is sad, but that's their loss. Dare to do something different this week. Dare to not just walk by, dare to stop and make difference. Dare to be the difference.
Email me about ways you made a difference this week!

Review of Lauren Alaina's Debut Album - Wildflower
Wildflower by Lauren Alaina was released today by 19 Records.
Review of Wildflower by Lauren Alaina
I got my copy early this morning. This twelve track album is a country hit .
Lauren Alaina came in 2nd place last year at the American Idol TV competition. This 17 year old girl from Rossville, GA wowed the TV audience with songs like “Trouble”, “If I Die Young” , and “Unchained Melody”.
The album is a mix of country and pop like Taylor Swift, but Lauren Alaina has a sound of her own.
A couple standouts on the album for me were:
The Middle – a good song that talks about something we should all remember. “ Take each day and make it last, cause you turn around and the future is the past.. what matters is whats in the middle.” Make the most of the time we have.
She's a Wildflower – a little country pop with some Mandolin and Dobro fun - Sometimes you feel like that. “A wildflower just waiting on the winds of change to blow.” Wanting to grow up, but not quite there.
The Locket – a soft story ballad about a locket from a grandma to her granddaughter, and the story behind it. Memories are important, we need take the time to know where we came from and stories of our past. Our grandparents were our age once, take the time to hear their story. :)
Dirt Road Prayer – a soft finish to the album, as she goes through her prayer list from her grandparents to the boy she likes. A nice way to end an album that talks about faith and life.
Like My Mother Does – This is my favorite song, because it reminds me of my mom. My mom and I are so much alike, and she works so hard. I look up to her and I want be like her someday . I love you mom :)
I recommend you get this album because it is a good albums for kids and adults to listen to. It talks about good stuff like God, spending time with your family. knowing where you came from and knowing where your going.
This album is Spectacular. I give it 5 Buckeyes !!

My Thoughts on Friendship by RJ - The Importance of Being a Friend
Starting on Sundays, I will have two types of columns, either Ask RJ to answer your questions to the blog or My Thoughts. This is my way to talk about topics or issues that are important to me and to you.
The Importance of Being a Friend .
Why do we have friends? What is so important about having friends? The better question would be what is a friend?
You have to be nice to people to have friends. So the issue is not so much having a friend but being a friend. So how do you be a friend?
Be daring – Take a risk to meet someone new. Take the time to hang out with someone you don't know. Being new at a school is really hard, but it's a great way to find friends. Reach out and be a friend with the new kids in your class or your neighborhood. If you are not new, take a risk, and try to hang out with different people at your school, and see how it turns out.
Be honest - Don't lie to get friends. No one likes a fake. And people eventually find out anyway.
Be yourself - Don't be a clone. Think for yourself. Don't be friends with someone just to get to be friends with another person. No one likes to be used.
Be modest – Don't brag. Don't try to make yourself better than others. The things you have is not nearly as important the character you have.
Be caring – Don't be mean. You have to be there for a person. Thick or thin, a friend sticks with the other person, no matter what.
Be trustworthy - Be someone that your friend can believe in and count on. Keep your word. If you make a promise, keep it.
Be positive - we all have days where you are angry, sad, or blue. A friend is someone who is there to try to cheer you up.
The main point of being a friend is keeping the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule says that you treat other people as you would want to be treated.
A while back I wrote about the three key principles of life. To Have Faith, Give Hope, and Show Love. That is what it means to be a friend.
Have a great week,
RJ with help from JA

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011
In Memory of Steve Jobs
I was going to post an entertainment post yesterday, but with the passing of Steve Jobs last night I felt, that being this is news blog, I should write about this incredible person. Everyone last night was calling Steve Jobs a Visionary . What is a visionary? A Visionary is a person of unusually keen foresight, some who can dream of wild and untested ideas. Steve Jobs was a visionary who had dreams and then worked to make them real.
Steve Jobs had a normal time growing up. He was adopted as a baby into a loving middle class family. He worked hard and went to college, but dropped out of a regular college program so he could take the classes he wanted to really take and learn what he wanted to learn . In 1976 he created Apple Computer in his garage with his friend Steve Wozniak on April Fool's Day. His idea was to take the computer which mostly big machines owned by big companies, government agencies, and universities and make it so people could have them in their homes. His first "Personal Computer" came out in 1976 called Apple 1. In 1977 they put out Apple II, the first personal computer with color graphics. In 1984, he did one of the coolest commercials ever for the Super Bowl called "1984" based on the novel 1984 by George Orwell.

Directed by filmmaker Ridley Scott, it launched the Macintosh Computer. The computer sold great, but within two years Steve Jobs resigned from Apple after having trouble with the other leaders at the company. He went after two other companies NeXT a computer company for universities and Pixar which he bought from George Lucas who created "Star Wars" . In 1995 Pixar produced Toy Story which changed the way animated movies were done, being the first computer animated feature film. In 1997 Steve Jobs returned to Apple and began working a new product that would revolution the way we viewed and listened to music and videos. The iPod was launched in 2001 with the iTunes store going online in 2003. The success was incredible. With all this going on in 2004 Steve Jobs discovered he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer. The iPhone came out in 2007 and the iPad in 2010. Steve Jobs took time off from Apple at various time from 2004 to 2011, until he officially resigned as CEO August 24, 2011. He passed away yesterday.
His lifelong business competitor, but still good friend Bill Gates said: The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. " His catch phrase was to make things "insanely great", and he did.
When it came to cancer and death, Steve Jobs talked about this too and what is important in life. As a tribute to him, I would like to close this blog with his words from a commencement speech he gave at Stanford.
"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it…. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. "
Thank you , Mr . Jobs for daring to dream and following your heart. The world is a closer and better place because of it. May I have the courage to do the same with my life.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family today.
