On June 23, the Alumni Association will host its biggest fundraiser of the year - the Serra Golf Classic. We are looking forward to another wonderful day of golf with the Serra Community.
This year's tournament will be held at the Peninsula Golf and Country Club in San Mateo. The day will begin with lunch, followed by a round of golf, and ending with a hearty dinner in the ballroom.
Last year, we raised $27,000 for the Alumni Scholarship Fund - that was incredible! This year, we hope to match or even exceed that amount.
If you would like to be a sponsor this year or register to play in the tournament, please CLICK HERE. Last year's Golf Classic sold out early - so please register A.S.A.P.
Hope to see you there!

| Senior Nick Schnabel Honored by Local Newspaper |
Senior Nick Schnabel is a perfect example of a well-rounded student. He manages stellar grades with outstanding community service and athletics. A few weeks ago, Nick was named Player of the Week by The Daily Journal for his masterful footwork on the soccer field. He broke Serra school records this season for scoring the most goals in a single season - 18 (the school record was 17).
"Nick is very deserving of this award," said Serra Head Soccer Coach Jeff Panos. "He has had a tremendous start to our season, and he represents all facets of what it means to be a true Serra Padre. Nick has earned the respect of the entire team because of the way he carries himself so humbly, yet so driven, every day."
In addition to his on-the-field success, Nick maintains a 4.62 grade point average. He hopes to major in engineering next year in college. Community service is important to this Serra senior. In addition to participating in Serra's Rebuilding Together home improvement service days, Nick recently received the San Mateo County Sheriff's Activities League Community Service Award. He spends at least two hours each week tutoring children with their homework.
"I think of it as a fun activity," Nick noted. "After finishing their homework, we play soccer. It's important to give back to the community and foster human interaction. I enjoy working with kids because they're always so joyful."
