Huntington Learning Center's Teacher of the Month: Vancleave Upper Elementary's Terri Murray
SUMMARY: WXXV News highlights a monthly local teacher, and this week honored Terry Murray from Vancleave Upper Elementary as the Huntington Learning Center’s Teacher of the Month. Ms. Murray, who teaches special education life skills, is celebrated for her dedication to her students. She actively communicates with parents, caregivers, and medical professionals to address students’ holistic needs, serving as a nurse and counselor when necessary. Her commitment to fostering student success was evident when she proudly shared a milestone— a student learning to write their name. Ms. Murray hopes this recognition sheds light on the essential work of special needs teachers.
SUMMARY: Welcome back to Good Morning Mississippi Nature Trivia! Today’s questions cover fascinating nature facts. The largest alligator found in Mississippi was a massive 14 feet 3 inches and weighed 800 pounds — a real giant. The Dachshund dog breed’s name means “badger dog” in German, bred to flush badgers from their burrows. We explored identifying flowers, including the hibiscus and dragon’s head, plus learned a cockroach’s heart surprisingly has 13 chambers. Trivia fun combines surprising nature knowledge with some friendly competition. It’s a great reminder to appreciate and learn more about the natural world around us.
Bill, Brandy, and Wesley test their nature knowledge on the first day of May.

SUMMARY: The weather across South Mississippi remains calm and warm, with temperatures in the 70s. A cold front moving through Texas brings showers and thunderstorms to the north, but the Magnolia State stays quiet. Overnight, temperatures will stay mild in the lower 70s, thanks to cloud cover. By Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected, with Friday holding a higher chance for stronger storms. Saturday will see lingering rain, but after the front moves through, humidity will decrease, making for a pleasant weekend. A weather alert is advised for Thursday and Friday.
