and shortened so anyone

who did not have someone

to compete against was

omitted from districts and

will advance directly to

state. Sabrina Huddleston

even though she did not

have to compete yesterday

she will be going to the state

STUDY TIP:

Surveying, Questioning,

Listening

Taking accurate and concise lec-ture notes is es-sential. Your main job in taking lec-ture notes is to be a good listener. To

be a good listener, you must learn to focus and concen-

trate on the main points of the lec-ture. Get them down, and then lat-er reorganize them in your own words. Once you have done this, you have set the stage for successful review-ing and revising.

is April 15th versus St. Thomas Aquinas and will be played at 4:00 PM. Part of the invitation is the opportunity for GEHS to sell ticket vouchers to the up-coming Royals Season. This is how you can save some money on a Roy-als ticket! GEHS is selling the Field Box Ticket vouchers for $20, a savings of 50% off the normal ticket price and a portion of the sales goes straight back to Gardner Edgerton High School Base-ball. All you need to do is visit GEHS at

one of the following times and pur-chase a $20 ticket. You can then re-deem the voucher at a Kauffman Stadi-um Ticket Window (must redeem in person) for a 2014 regular season Royals home game (blackout dates are listed on the vouch-

er).
