What you need to know, when you need to know it. |
|
Dear Parents,
To dovetail into last week’s Just in Time Communication around community and belonging, today’s Just in Time focus centers around activities, clubs and campus ministry related activities. These are just a few ways that students can get involved at Bishop Kelly.
Freshman parents - your students will start receiving Just In Time and BK Alive emails once the school year begins, in the meantime we would appreciate it if you could forward this to your Freshman.

More Ways to Get Involved |
|
High School is a great opportunity to explore interests and discover hidden talents. It's also a great time to meet new friends, and there's no better way of doing those things than by getting involved in clubs, co-curricular courses, and athletics. Bishop Kelly offers over 20 active clubs, nearly 10 co-curricular opportunities, and over 20 varsity / club sports. Get out there, get involved, and have some fun!
CLUBS & ACTIVITIES IN HIGH SCHOOL
School clubs and activities are an important part of student life in high school. Clubs and activities truly give students the opportunity to learn the importance of teamwork, responsibility, physical strength and endurance, competition, diversity, and a sense of community. Many colleges consider involvement in clubs and activities a vital part of a student’s well-rounded education and character development.
It’s not a requirement or necessity to be the captain or president of a sport or club for it to be appealing to a college admissions counselor. However, it is important that you are able to demonstrate your commitment, and attempt to tie it into what you’d like to pursue at the college level. This is not to say that you shouldn’t try for a leadership position, because it should be something you strive for, but the point of high school activities is to gain experiences that will help shape your future in college and beyond.

Faith Formation, Daily Mass,
and Campus Ministry
|
|
Each student’s faith journey is very important to us and we have a fantastic team to guide and support them. Father Gregory Vance, our School Chaplain, will oversee our daily and monthly Masses at Bishop Kelly and is available for students daily in his office. We're also fortunate to have our own Campus Minister who can serve as a resource for you as well! You can find Ms. Anna McCarthy in the Campus Ministry Room (406). In addition to our Chaplain and Campus Minister, we have a dedicated and caring theology team that is always available to talk to you, answer questions or listen to you. They are here to help you, so don't be afraid to ask! All students are welcome to hang out in the Campus Ministry room between classes, at break, lunch, before or after school. It's a great spot to study, catch up with friends, and grow in your faith! The Campus Ministry room is in room 406.

Retreats
BK offers a number of retreats each year! As a general rule, our Freshmen and Sophomore retreats have required attendance and serve to both build community and connections, while also strengthening one’s faith journey. Retreats will be offered to all of our students throughout the school year! As a Junior and Senior, you will have an opportunity to attend an overnight retreat outside of Boise! These retreats are an important part of the BK experience!
Mass
Each month, our school community comes together for Mass in the Carley Center. During the week, sports and activities that are in season are required to go to Mass, as a team, in St. Teresa's chapel. Students will get more information from their Coach or Adviser on morning Mass expectations.
Our first all school Mass of the 2022 - 2023 School Year is Tuesday, September 22nd. Parents are welcome to attend.

Who's Who in the Class of 2026 - A homework assignment for Freshman Parents. |
|
In terms of belonging, one thing that we try to do every year is to create a google slide deck introducing all of our incoming freshmen. This has been extremely valuable for us as a school to quickly get to know names, interests, etc. of our incoming freshmen. If you are a freshmen student or a parent of an incoming freshmen, please send an email to counselor@bk.org with the following:
- A Picture of your child.
- Make sure the face is recognizable
- Preferably the picture is of the student doing something that they enjoy doing (see sample)
- In the body of the email, include the following information in this order:
- Last Name, First Name (plus nickname if applicable)
- Parents first/ last names
- At least one unique/ interesting thing about student (the more unique the better)
- Top 3-4 Hobbies/ Activities
- School/ City/State the student is coming from
- Any other bonus information that you would like to include or share.
Again, please begin sending this information to counselor@bk.org as soon as possible. We look forward to getting to know each and every student at BK.
