Golf Team Finishes Regular Season
Presentation's co-ed middle school golf team had a great year, learning the game, practicing on a beautiful course (Sonoma Golf Club) and holding their own against all league competitors.
In the most recent match-up against St. Eugene's in Petaluma at Sonoma Golf Club, Presentation dominated and 7th grader Carson Schmick (above) golfed the game of his life (so far), with two pars on this challenging course. A big thank you to coaches David Grieve and Michael Nugent for teaching the kids the game and to the Sonoma Golf Club for serving as our "home" course.

Correction: One Presentation graduate, the son of a current family, the Minigans, was inadvertendly left off of our list of grads heading to college in the fall.
Jeremiah Minigan is heading to Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Gonzaga is a private, Catholic university renowed for its liberal arts core curriculum, which integrates philosophy, religious studies, mathematics, literature, natural and social sciences, and extensive writing in each major discipline. Congrats Jeremiah!
