A Veterans Day Prayer...
Lord God, Almighty Father, creator of mankind and author of peace, as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess, we ask you to bless the members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope and strength. May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love and compassionate healing.
Amen

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!

Alexandra Riese
Generosity
Alexandra is generous with her time, her smile, her attitude, and her knowledge. She is so very helpful with her teachers and classes: always seeing what needs to be done and stepping up to do it. What a pleasure it is to have her in class.

Tucker Gratton
Activities
Tucker is the model for dedication to improvement. His continuing efforts led to his first place finish and the BK Team Sweepstakes at the Canyon County Classic Speech Tournament
| |
|
Austin Clough
Community
Austin not only had his work done in video, but during an opportunity to peer review another student's work, instead of just writing down suggestions on how to produce the video with some more flair, he got up and made the shots happen, he helped her film the shots and make her video better.

|
Monica (Sofia) Guzman Garza
Academic Excellence
Sofia is a well-rounded student, striving for excellence in everything she does. She is respectful, participates in class and demonstrates an impressive work ethic.
