Dear Cate Alumni,
Fall sports are wrapping up as we transition to basketball, soccer, squash, and women's waterpolo! Last week, students, parents, and alumni gathered together on the Mesa to cheer on Cate Football as they battled Thacher in the Condor League Championship. While the Toads took home the victory (final score: 42-36), Cate played a great game. Fans enjoyed another beautiful day on the Mesa.
As always, please don't hesitate to give us a call when you're in the area. We love seeing you!
Thank you for reading. Please keep in touch.
