Student Tributes
Anna R. Alldredge ~ Educator at Cate School ~ St. Mary's Class of 1996 St. Mary's will always have a special place in my heart. I attended SMEDS from Kindergarten through 8th grade, and enjoyed all of the warmth, support, and intellectual encouragement I received there. St. Mary's instilled in me a sense of wonder as a learner that I have carried into my career as an educator. This concept of curiosity and passion informed my athletic experience at St. Mary's, where I learned to love team sports at an early age. St. Mary's athletic program emphasizes team building and personal growth, and constantly encourages young athletes to stretch themselves in a safe environment. Throughout all of my various middle school seasons, I relished the bonding among the team members that my coaches encouraged and celebrated. St. Mary's first taught me the value of teamwork and self-sacrifice, and through that foundation I was well-prepared to pursue volleyball at a highly competitive level during my high school and college years. I am forever indebted to St. Mary's teachers and coaches who inspire youngsters on a daily basis.
