Target is giving away $2.5 million in Target gift cards, and our schools need your votes. To vote, go to the Give With Target on Facebook site, search for the school you want to earn money and vote for them. (Note: You need a Facebook account to access the contest.) Schools reveive a $25 Target gift card for every 25 votes they earn, up to a maximum of $10,000 in gift cards. So far, University City High School has earned 22 votes—three shy of a gift card!

You know, I've been to 3 of these nights at the ball park, and they always seem to give U. City the seats in the stratosphere. When the last one I went to had us sitting in THE VERY last row at the top (where we could hear and see the AC units) I decided no more for me.   more ›

A Big Turnout for Trivia Night at Flynn Elementary

Annual event raises funds and and tests the brainpower of University City Patch Editor Myra Lopez.

Pizza, popcorn and a pop quiz. About 70 students gathered in the cafeteria at Flynn Park Elementary School on Friday for Kids Trivia Night. The University City Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) sponsored the event. The kids were so excited, writing down their answers and trying to mislead their competition by knowingly yelling out the wrong answer. Fifth grade teacher Diego Fernandez filled the role of emcee and posed the first question of the night.  "Let's get this thing rolling," he said before challenging the crowd with this brain teaser: the origin of the word robot.  Your University City Patch editor got in on the action.
