Activities
These three French club officers have generously worked concessions for all their years at BK to raise money for the French Exchange. The French club has paid for 3 meals for Host families and The French students. Also, they have been invaluable in their help, maturity, and leadership in organizing events and transportation. Merci les Filles! Couldn't do it without you!

Mr. Brendan Kehoe, Generosity, Academic Excellence, Safe and Caring Place, Community, Faith
- Mr. Kehoe has always let us borrow his room during Speech and Debate, allowing us to focus in a quiet room and learn a lot. He's also occasionally given us tips after we've read our cases. This is, of course, along with the fact that he was a great teacher when I had him last year, and was always super helpful and willing to flex to my schedule after it was thrown out of whack.
- He is always so fun to be around and his class is so lively.
- I always feel like his classroom is welcoming and I always have a great time doing work in his class.
- He is always so nice and caring.
- Everyday he prays with us before class
- I always look forward to Mr. Kehoe’s class at the end of the day. He makes English really fun and engaging with his energy and being relatable to us kids.
- Mr. Kehoe makes the class super fun and amazing. He cracks jokes and has a great sense of humor. I look forward to his class everyday.
- Mr. Kehoe always has humor in his teaching. He is extremely supportive of his students and he enjoys being in the classroom.
- Mr. Kehoe is the MAN! Every person in my class looks forward to fourth hour because he is a great teacher as well as a fun person to talk to. He is an example of BK's best.
- Mr. Kehoe shows everyone an example of the BK way. He cares about all and is nice towards everyone.

The Knights of Columbus & BK Culinary Club, with our returning sponsor, Idaho's own D&B Supply, are collecting candy for those that cannot…Instead of collecting candy for ourselves, BK Culinary Club & the Knights of Columbus are giving all the collected candy, checks/cash, warm hats, coats, & gloves donated to us this Halloween to Boise’s City Light Home for Women & Children, The Ronald McDonald House, and several other Idaho Shelters on behalf of the Knights of Columbus Council 899.
D&B donation collection buckets are conveniently located in the cafeteria by the dish return area. Simply place your factory sealed candy in a zip lock bag (we'll take your least favorite or your favorite candy) or in its original sealed bag and drop it into the bucket. The same for any clothing items - just place it on the table or in the collection buckets Kind messages are shared with the team and also with those receiving the candy. We are taking donations through the end of November 4th. Checks can be made out to… The Knights of Columbus. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
