The team parents poured out extra effort by assembling gifts for the players, such as a towel with their names on it and candy necklaces.”
Another fun sport to watch during the fall season are the Mills Girls Volleyball games. The games give a great overview of teamwork on the court. Isabelle Yang (12) commented on her senior night saying, “My teammates made my senior night super fun and special.

Lastly, the Mills Varsity Girls Cross Country Team has done amazing this fall season. Katie Yee, a senior on the team said, “Yes, I’m excited. We have a potluck on the 22nd but I don’t think we actually have a senior night though so yeah I’m excited for that. Everyone always brings good food and it’s like a fun time.”
Throughout the fall season ending, many seniors enjoyed their senior nights celebrating their time on the fall sports teams.
