The Presentation School Golf Tournament
is Coming Your Way April 25
Enjoy a day out on a gorgeous golf course with some of your friends at our 14th Annual Golf Tournament on Friday, April, 25, at Eagle Vines Golf Club in Napa. Registration is at 11am - shotgun start is at 1pm. $190 will get you lunch, golf, use of putting green, use of driving range, cart, fantastic dinner and more laughs than at a clowns convention! Not a golfer, then join us for dinner and dancing at 6pm.
This year, instead of a time-consuming and elaborate auction, we will only be taking a short break from the festivities for our annual FUND A NEED initiative.
We are excited, in one fell swoop, to raise the rest of the additional funds needed for our school to go 1:1 with Chromebooks for our Upper School kids, for professional development for tech in the classrooms, more IT support and lower school wish lists like smart boards and class sets of tablets.
Click HERE to download a paper copy of the invite. Online tickets sales will be available this week. Email Nancy Bei at nbei@presentationschool.com if you have any questions. |

Presentation Recruiting Members for
Co-Ed Middle School Golf Team
Pictured above is our golf team from a few years ago...
We are interested in fielding a golf team of boys and girls in the 5th-8th grades. Students practice their golf skills, learn about competitive play and compete in a series of matches against several other Catholic schools in our area.
If your student shows a strong interest in the sport, with or without prior experience, please contact Kathleen Grieve at kmgrieve@vom.com. If you are a parent with golf knowledge and an interest in coaching and monitoring matches - we need you! The only way for us to create a golf team for this school year is with the support of at least one more coach to work with David Grieve.
Practices will be held Tuesdays beginning March 25 after school until approximately 5pm, with some weekend workshops.
Our six matches will also be held on Tuesdays (April 1st-May 20). All players are expected to be available for a minimum of three matches.
Please let us know parent coach and student interest by Monday, March March 17th. Please don't hesitate to contact me regarding any questions.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma provides instructors, a location for the workshop and use of its state-of-the-art computer lab and editing equipment. The video that Hannah Rose worked on will be screened at the beginning of the film festival's Youth Works Program in April at the Sebastiani Theater.
