Dear Bishop Kelly Families,

Bishop Kelly honored fallen Ada County Sheriff's Deputy, Tobin Bolter this week with Mass being celebrated in his honor. Father Vance offered the Mass before school in the Bishop Kelly Chapel, and then a Mass card was delivered to the Ada County Sheriff's office on behalf of the BK community. We invite you to pray for Deputy Bolter and his family during this very difficult time. If you would like to have Father Vance offer daily Mass for a friend or loved one, please stop by the front office. Mrs. Berhan or Mrs. Anderson will take your information and make sure that it gets to Father Vance. We are always happy to support our families by covering you in prayer.

Have a blessed weekend,

Each week Bishop Kelly faculty and staff nominate students, and students nominate faculty and staff, who have demonstrated the BK Way attributes of Faith, Safe and Caring Place, Academic Excellence, Activities, Honor, Generosity, Community, and Partnership.

Congratulations to this week's Knights of the Week!

The Knights of the Week for this week are all of the students who were recognized at our Academic Awards Assembly! This includes students with a 3.75 GPA or higher, students selected by academic departments, Capstone Diploma Candidates, National Merit Finalists, and many more!

CLICK HERE to see the slide show that accompanied the assembly. It includes every student who was nominated and honored on Thursday!

BK Staff of the Week

Mrs. Danielle Bainbridge

Congratulations to Mrs. Danielle Bainbridge who was awarded the John Baptist de la Salle Teacher of the Year award for 2024! Mrs. Bainbridge is a valuable member of our Language Arts faculty who, in addition to teaching students, also dedicates her time and talents to teaching her colleagues about helpful technology resources and best practices in the classroom. Mrs. Bainbridge was instrumental in making our Academic Awards Assembly happen. She is loved by students and staff alike, and we are excited to honor her with the John Baptist de la Sale Award this year!

Dance Team Tryouts for the 2024 - 2025 School year will take place April 23-25th and May 1st and 2nd from 6:05 to 7:15 AM in the Carley Athletic Center.

It is time of year again to make an appointment for your athlete to receive their mandatory annual physical for next school year. Attending the BK Sports Physical is not only a great value at $25 but it is a fundraiser for our Sports Medicine program and allows us to purchase supplies and equipment for our athletes.

BK Physicals are scheduled for:

Sunday, June 2nd

from 9 AM- 1 PM

in the Father Wilson Science and Technology Wing on the Bishop Kelly campus.

All time slots will require the $25 fee upon registration for the event. Refunds can be made until Friday May 17th in the instance schedules change and your student athlete is no longer able to attend. No refunds will be given after May 17th.

Download and Print this Health Examination and Consent Form which can be found on the BK Athletics Website in the forms section. Each athlete must bring this form with them to their appointment. The health history and signatures on the first page must be complete before the appointment. The second page is completed by our doctors and nurses.

The appointment times are on a first come first served basis. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact David Redinger (dredinger@bk.org)

We are happy to provide this service and your support is greatly appreciated.

The Redinger Family Scholarship" is a financial award available through the Bishop Kelly Foundation to a rising senior for a $1,700 scholarship to be used toward tuition. This scholarship was established by Jim and Vickie Redinger, long-time supporters of Bishop Kelly, and parents of BK alums Mike (Class of ‘03) and Tom (Class of ‘05). Jim and Vickie wish to honor a student whose interests align with those areas that their sons found of particular value while they were at BK, as well as later in their lives.

The recipient will be selected by the Redinger family after submitting an application that meets a specific list of criteria, including academics and athletics, with preference given to students who have exhibited leadership and STEM activities. 

To apply, complete THIS APPLICATION FORM by Friday, May 17th and submit it in a sealed envelope to the front office. Please clearly label the envelope "Bishop Kelly Foundation, attention Kim Malvick"



Please come look through the overflowing lost and found!
