We made it to the semi finals of theplayoffs and that was a lot of fun. I also got to travel a lot over the summer because of baseball. I playedin Phoenix, AZ, Orlando, FL, and all over South Louisiana. My favorite memory, however, is going toSan Diego for the Poinsettia Bowl just before this Christmas. It was a lot of fun and a great experience!Ask the Staffsubmitted by Kori TeagueGuest ReporterHow can I prevent the second semester from killing my grades?Every year this happens. Right at the beginning of the third 9 weeks, all the classes seem to getharder. Be prepared now and maybe it wont hurt you as bad. Make a nightly study schedule so itwont pile upon you. Use the reward system too get homework done. Say, you have as essay towrite, get home and tell yourself if you get the paper finished before 8:00, you can take yourselfto get some ice cream, or another reward. Set wide time to relax so you don’t get too stressed.Articles, Rants and SuggestionsStudents who like to write and would like to have their articles published in Chatterbox are asked to submit articles to chatterbox@lincolnschools.org.If you have a particular rant, comment, or suggestion about anything Chatterbox has printed, or wish to present your side in an editorial, we would love to hear from you.Bring your thoughts in writing to Room 318, pass it along to a Chatterbox member, or email it to chatterbox@lincolnschools.org.
