Lady Jaguar's Soccer Update
by Jag Times Staff Reporter29 March 2011: The Jaguars had their first home girls soccer game against Martin Luther King High School on Tuesday. The team got their first win, beat-ing King 3 to 2 on UCity's very own field out back. Glenika Creese, a junior captain, scored the first goal for the Jaguars and Fatmata Bah another junior got the second. With the support of about 50 fans and the UPenn Women's Varsity soccer team who came out to support the team, the Jags went into the half with a 2 - 0 lead. Faynou Sore, a senior, scored the final goal for the Jaguars putting the team up 3 to 0. Aliyah Allen had a great game as goalie making numerous saves to lead the jags to a decisive victory. Marie Chaloub and Katrice Walker, two juniors, also played pivotal roles in leading the defense during the match. With a healthy snack after the game from the support of Urban Nutrition Pro-gram the Jaguars are reinvigorated and ready to take on Palmer High School on Thursday and hope to continue their strong start to the season with another win. The UCity soccer teams (boys and girls) have yet to lose a game on their home field this year.

April Fool's Information:
01 April 2011 (Excerpt from Wikipedia.com):
April Fools’ Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on April 1st. Sometimes referred to as All Fools Day, April 1st is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day where many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good hu-moured or funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying so-phistication on friends, family mem-bers, teachers, neighbors, work asso-ciates and others.
The earliest recorded association between April 1st and foolishness can be found in Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales”(1392). Many writers suggest that the restoration of January 1st as New Years Day in the 16th century was responsible for the creation of the holiday, but this theory does not explain earlier references. For more information on this you can research the history of this holiday online.

Building Engineer Donates Winnings To School District!!
01 April 2011 by Jaguar Times Staff Writer
Amazingly our financial troubles are over!! In an unprecedented show of generosity and caring for our district, J. Blum will donate the $310,000,000 he just won in the Mega Millions Lottery to the School District. District Offi-cials are happy that they will not need to cancel plans for next year just yet. The only request that was made by Mr. Blum was to create a series of classes dedicated to teaching students how to successfully brew and pour the perfect cup of coffee. He is sure that these skills are absolutely essential in the future workplace, and will serve our students well in any field they decide to persue. Many thanks from everyone at UCity!!

Bronx Zoo Cobra Update
01 April 2011 by Jaguar Times Staff Reporter
Apparently they have successfully captured the African Cobra that recently escaped from the Bronx Zoo. What the professionals at the zoo do not realize is that the snake was able to take the PSSA test here be-fore being returned to the zoo. While the actual results are not known yet, the snake commented during a recent interview that the Math was particularly difficult and that holding a #2 pencil in it’s fangs was positively painful. The cobra was very happy for the extra snacks of mice and ro-dents that it was able to find throughout the building, and will be graduating on time through a new program to help wayward reptiles. The snake plans to open a falafel stand in Brooklyn in the next couple years.

School Braces For Apocalypse in 2012!!
01 April 2011 by Jaguar Times Staff Editor
As a follow up to a recent rumor on an unmentioned email, our staff has researched the following topic and is now ready to publish our report. Due to recent findings that confirm the Ma-yan prediction of the world ending in 2012, the School District is now mandating that all students participate in Mayan360. This online program will connect our students to a wealth of knowl-edge and resources for Surviving the Mayan Apocalypse. Unfor-tunately due to bandwidth restrictions, faulty wiring, our fire-wall, and an inordinate amount of Study Island training, we will not be able to connect to the program. Hopefully we can just make a mil-lion copies of the handbook and distribute it in time. Our students will be able to get information on many exciting topics such as Tin Can Cooking, How To Fish With Kite String and a Plastic Fork, and How to Survive When Your Cell Phone and Ipod Run Out Of Batteries. We will be organizing a rally for all members of the UCity family to welcome the aliens that should be arriving any day after December 21st, 2012!!
Just Kidding….. Lighten Up! Smile!! It is opening day of the Phillies Season!!
