Avenue Winter 2017

BKBoosters Auction April 1 | Annual Fund Update | March For Life

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

I

t has been an exciting year at Bishop Kenny. We have enjoyed marking the 65th anniversary of our school. It has been a particular pleasure to highlight information about Bishop William Kenny to our school community. It seems especially important that our students and faculty be aware of the reasons that our school was named in his honor. This will continue to be an annual priority for all new students in the years to come. At my core I am a history teacher so it should come as no surprise that I would want our students to be educated about this significant man and his place in the history of the Diocese of St. Augustine.

Catholic schools throughout the United States celebrated Catholic Schools Week recently.

In keeping with tradition, a full slate of activities was scheduled during this annual celebration of our Catholic school tradition. In addition to the annual school-wide Mass, Organ Donation Assembly, Blood Drive, and Food Drive to benefit Catholic Charities, we also welcomed the 1957 State Championship basketball team to campus to celebrate their 60th anniversary of victory.

Coincidentally, and perhaps appropriately, the accreditation visit associated with Bishop Kenny High School’s 5-year accreditation renewal took place during Catholic Schools Week. Appropriate because Bishop Kenny High School is, first and foremost, a Catholic school. The team of peer educators representing the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement was welcomed by me and other administrators upon their arrival in Jacksonville.

They spent two days on campus visiting classrooms, talking to stakeholders including students, teachers, parents, and members of the Advisory School Board.

How Do You Keep Up With BK News?

@ The Bishop Kenny website www.bishopkenny.org has a brand new look and greatly improved functionality. It is mobiledevice and tablet friendly, interactive, offers the most up-todate calendar and events information, and celebrates the accomplishments and activities of our students as they happen.

If you are looking for information about BK, the website is exactly where you want to go.

We continue to examine and evaluate the effectiveness of the way we deliver news and information to parents, alumni, potential new families, and the community at large. With the reality that every year people are getting more of their news and information electronically, Bishop Kenny is delivering more of its news in that same way. And while The Avenue remains a staple of our communication and public relations model, some of our more time-sensitive pieces will be covered via website and social media. All you need to do to keep up with BK is: visit the website, like us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Of course we still hope you’ll enjoy The Avenue when it arrives at your home twice each year.

I am happy to report that Bishop Kenny maintains its accreditation as it has since opening its doors in 1952. If you have not had an opportunity to review the accreditation information on our website, including our school improvement goals for the next five years, we invite you to select Accreditation under About BK. Sincerely,

Inside This Edition Todd M. Orlando Principal

COVER STORY

The Celebration Continues The fall edition of The Avenue featured a story about the 2016-2017 school year being Bishop Kenny High School’s 65th year of service to the Jacksonville community.

A story about Bishop William Kenny and the plaque that has been permanently installed in his honor, as well as a recap of the inaugural Founders Mass, was featured.

Since the fall edition we have celebrated two more occasions related to this anniversary year. On November 4, Bishop Kenny hosted an Alumni Picnic in conjunction with homecoming. Members of the first Crusader Football team were invited to the picnic and were honored at a ceremony during halftime festivities. We thank all of the original teammates who took the time to attend the picnic and ceremony, especially those who traveled to be with us. Your extra effort is appreciated.

And speaking of extra effort, we salute Pat Thornton ’53 who coordinated a gathering of graduates from several of BK’s first classes during homecoming week. This group, known as The Door Openers convenes periodically to keep BK’s earliest graduates in touch with one another. Pat Thornton invited Director of Advancement, Sheila Marovich to a luncheon gathering of the group just before the Alumni Picnic.

According to Mrs. Marovich, “The welcome could not have been warmer and the camaraderie among the group any more genuine, what a nice tradition these first Crusaders have established.”

Thanks to Pat and all of The Door Openers who help coordinate these gatherings.

(L-R) Dr. John Rahaim, Buddy Lawrence, J.P. Pat Thornton, Jr., and Tracy Danese enjoyed looking at a copy of the Crusader Yearbook.

Most recently, members of the 1957 State Championship Basketball Team were honored on the 60th anniversary of their victory. (see story, page 5)

Graduates from many classes attended the picnic. (L-R) Carmel Brodeur Lea ’71 and Julie Brodeur Brookshire ’70 visited with inaugural football team member Loys Charbonnet ’56 at the picnic.

Joy Unites Pro Life Generation

Seniors (L-R) Lindsay Pacheco, Abigail Harrison, and Sydney Barrett took part in a peaceful but impactful demonstration of their support of the unborn. When LIFE is written on a piece of red tape and placed over their mouths they are identifying with the silence of the pre-born who have no voice to defend themselves.

Bishop Kenny’s participants in the Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. visited with Bishop Felipe Estévez after attending Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

The Sacred Scriptures call us to be “doers of the word and not hearers only. (For) faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead (James 1:22, 2:17). Jesus himself directs us to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations….teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…..”

(Mt 28:19-20). Truly, our life in Christ is a life of active witness to the Gospel.

Throughout the month of January, the BK community celebrated the sacredness of human life from conception until natural death. Students participated in on-campus events scheduled throughout the month and ending during Catholic Schools Week. Sophomores attended an informational organ donor assembly, seniors volunteered at the annual BK blood drive, and a successful school-wide canned soup drive resulted in a significant donation of food to the Catholic Charities Food Pantry.

March for Life participants and chaperones had a limited amount of time see some of the sites in Washington.

Off-campus, Principal Todd Orlando and a group of representatives of the BK Chapter of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul attended Mass celebrated by Bishop Felipe Estévez at the Basillica of the Immaculate Conception followed by the annual local march around the U.S. Federal Courthouse in downtown Jacksonville. The march is in protest of the 1973 Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

On Wednesday, January 25 forty students and chaperones boarded a bus headed for Washington, DC to participate in the 44th annual March for Life. The students and chaperones marched in peaceful solidarity with thousands of people from throughout the United States and around the world in protest of legalized abortion. Thanks to the BK Boosters for their generosity in underwriting the cost of the bus transportation to Washington. Our thanks is also extended to Deacon Robert De Luca, Rev. Martin Raj, and the Department of Campus Ministry for coordinating so many of these important activities.

Making a Stand in Jacksonville. Bishop Estévez celebrated Mass attended by members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at Immaculate Conception after which attendees marched to the Duval County Courthouse as part of the annual Stand for Life.

Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Awards Grant to BK A potential life-saving initiative, instituted at Bishop Kenny High School during the 2015-16 school year, is now fully funded thanks to a grant awarded by a partnership between Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and the Michael Namey AED Initiative.

On the day faculty returned to work from Christmas break, we learned that the partnership had awarded us a grant of $7,600 to be used to purchase equipment needed for the Hands-Only CPR and AED training, now integral components of our health curriculum. In addition, the funding will allow us to purchase two additional AED units for our expansive campus.

The partnership launched the initiative in memory of University of Central Florida freshman and Jacksonville native, Michael Namey, a graduate of the Bishop Kenny 4

Class of 2015. “Our organization has joined efforts with Mrs. Connie Namey and Dr. Sylkia Martinez to raise awareness for sudden cardiac arrest on school campuses by providing CPR/AED training and increasing access to AEDs; creating an educated and prepared environment among students, faculty and staff,” said a Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation spokesperson.

Trainers begin each session with prayer and a description of Michael’s untimely death as they emphasize to students the importance of knowing how to respond to a cardiac emergency. We are in the second year of a 3-year plan to certify all current students in Hands-Only CPR. The staff at Baptist Health CPR Training Center, who initially conducted the training for students, also trained and certified faculty members to be trainers.

In addition, Bishop Kenny continues to provide annual

CPR training and recertification to its faculty and staff.

With a graduating class of approximately 300 students each year and 98-100% attending college, we anticipate the community impact will be widespread.

Students have taken the training very seriously and with great enthusiasm, viewing it as an extension of their commitment to community service. Check out the video students in the Multimedia Design and NJROTC programs produced, which aired to the student body last year as a public service announcement. https://goo.gl/Icfnl1. In addition, the Today Show featured our initiative on June 6, 2016, the first day of National CPR and AED Awareness Week. https://goo.gl/FZgQfO. We are ecstatic at the thought of having sufficient resources to provide and expand training options well into the future!

COVER STORY

The BK Learning Commons houses scrapbooks as part of a living history of BK. The scrapbook containing clippings recounting some of the 1957 Crusader Basketball victories was on display at the pre-game gathering at The Mudville Grille.

1957 BK Basketball State Champions Members of the 1957 Crusader Basketball Team were invited to BK to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of their State Championship on February 3.

Principal Todd Orlando, Athletic Director Mark Thorson, Basketball Coach Jerry Buckley among others, welcomed 8 alumni players to a pre-game gathering at The Mudville Grille in St. Nicholas. Then it was on to BK to watch the current basketball team play rival Bolles in an exciting match that ended with a Crusader win. The final score was 55-51. The 1957 team was honored at halftime in front of a capacity crowd of students, parents and guests. The crowd reaction was warm and enthusiastic as the team assembled at half-court and Charlie Linning ‘57 raised the 60 year old trophy in the air for all to see.

Teammates Dennis Lanahan ‘58, Charlie Linning ’57 and Joe Antone ’57

Prior to tip-off Coach Jerry Buckley took three of the former players to visit with the current team. The players included Charles Sharpe, Father Mike Williams, and Joe Antone, all members of the Class of ’57. Each spoke briefly about his experience at BK, the lifelong friendships that were made, and the impact BK had on their lives.

The 1957 Boys’ Basketball Team won the State Championship but they never played indoors. All of their games were played off-.campus because the gym had not yet been built. Team practices were held on outdoor basketball courts even when the cold wind was coming off the river. When it turned dark, according to members of the team, people would pull their cars up and turn on the headlights. The Bishop Kenny gymnasium, which was built in 1962, is named for their coach, John Baldwin, a legendary teacher, coach, and athletic director at Bishop Kenny.

Just like old times...

Our appreciation is extended to Louis Joseph ‘93, former BK basketball player and owner of The Mudville Grille, for his kind hospitality at this, and so many other occasions throughout the year.

Members of the BKHS 1957 State Champion Basketball Team: (L-R) Fr. Mike Williams ‘57, Jay Sherman ‘57, Charles Sharpe ‘57, Don McGovern ‘57, Charlie Linning ’57 holding the 1957 State Championship Trophy, Msgr. Mortimer Danaher, President of BK in 1957, Dennis Lanahan ‘58, Bill Jackson ‘57, and Joe Antone ‘57

Msgr. Mortimer Danaher, President of BK from 1956-67, and BK’s first graduate to be ordained to the priesthood, Rev. Mike Williams ’57 wouldn’t have missed the basketball reunion.

Charles Sharpe ‘57 shared a few memories of his years on the basketball team. We’re not sure what he said but the game was exciting and BK ended up winning 55-51. Go Crusaders!

The silent auction tables will feature beautiful gift baskets, gift certificates for restaurants and getaways, and items including electronics, sports memorabilia, sporting goods, housewares, jewelry, artwork, and more.

BK Boosters President Anthony Parete ‘80 remarked, “The club helps BK’s individual teams and organizations by paying for things that are beyond their ability to cover.” In the first semester alone, some of the club’s expenditures included over $15,000 for fall-season athletes to travel to participate in post-season competition, $7,500 for students to travel to Washington, DC for the March for Life, $6,460 paid directly to individual teams from the membership drive, and a pledge to pay $7800 for new goal posts at the football stadium. Parete went on to say, “We really need everyone to step up and support events like the auction so that we can maintain this level of support.” It’s a make-or-break event for us. Without it we wouldn’t be able to do half of what we do in a typical school year. It’s so financially successful because it’s a great event with a great tradition. I strongly encourage all of our current parents and alumni to attend – I know that Kathy and I wouldn’t miss it!

Volunteers Sarah Maxson and Gina Farmand are experts at assembling baskets at this time of year. Sarah and Gina are among the many volunteers working hard on behalf of the BK Boosters 31st Annual Auction coming up on April 1.

AROUND CAMPUS

Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive Bishop Kenny High School has a long tradition of providing food baskets for needy families at Thanksgiving. This year’s school-wide campaign, coordinated by the Department of Campus Ministry and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, resulted in a collection large enough to satisfy all of the advance requests made by area parishes.

In addition to the traditional canned and other non-perishable food items collected in class rooms, cash contributions from individuals, clubs and organizations allowed organizers to include a Publix gift card to be used for the purchase of a turkey or ham. This year the Art Department sponsored an Empty Bowls ceramics project and a Coffee House featuring student and faculty talent to raise money for the gift cards. The event was a great success. (see article below) Students delivered hundreds of bags and boxes of food to the gym to fill all of the requests for Thanksgiving Food Baskets in November.

More than 300 families were fed through this year’s drive.

After the last baskets were assembled, all surplus non-perishable donations were gathered up and donated to Trinity Rescue Mission. We are so grateful for the generosity of our students, faculty, staff, and clubs who enable us to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

More than 305 food bags and $2500 worth of gift cards were distributed throughout the Diocese as a result of this year’s project.

Volunteers from throughout the Diocese picked up Thanksgiving Food baskets for families in need. These friendly BK students were among the many volunteers who were happy to help load the pick-up vehicles.

EMPTY BOWLS Project Raises $800 Students, faculty and staff joined forces with the BK Art Club to create, glaze and fire pottery bowls in support of the International Empty Bowls project. Bowls made by the BK community were used to raise money for the Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. According to project sponsor and BK Art teacher Sarah Arago, “Empty Bowls is a grass roots idea that artists have personalized worldwide to fight hunger on a community level.”

In November a Coffee House featuring entertainment provided by students and faculty members was held in the cafeteria. Each paid ticket holder was presented with a handmade “empty bowl.” According to Mrs. Arago, “The bowls serve to remind recipients of those who go without food and provide an avenue to make a difference.” Bowls created by advanced ceramics students were sold in a silent auction during the Coffee House performance to add extra money to the event proceeds.

Teacher, coach, and musician-singer Kevin Curran ‘01 and his wife Libby Heflin Curran ‘02 performed at the Coffee House. A full house of enthusiastic students and other guests attended the first-ever event.

The first time event was a great success raising $800 for the annual food drive.

Mrs. Kathleen Watson, a familiar face in the Main Office tried her hand at making one of the Empty Bowls.

Art teacher Mrs. Sarah Arago and a group of art students helped faculty and staff create bowls.

Many talented student performers were on hand at the including Ian Salinas and Francesca Orr-Yepes.

Bishop Estévez Makes Annual Campus Visit Bishop Felipe Estévez made his annual visit to Bishop Kenny High School on December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Each year the Bishop presides at Mass on the Holy Day. The entire student body, faculty, staff and invited guests gathered in the John Baldwin Athletic Center for Mass. BK Chaplain Father Martin Raj, OSB and former BK President Father Michael Houle concelebrated Mass. Diocesan Superintendent of Schools Deacon Scott Conway, and Deacon Robert De Luca were also in attendance.

At the end of Mass Bishop Estévez blessed a plaque in memory Deacon Richard Ryan who passed away in May of 2016. Prior to the blessing Father Houle told those gathered about Deacon Ryan who will long be remembered by thousands of Bishop Kenny students, faculty and staff members who knew him as a Religion teacher, Latin teacher, a Dean of Students and through his duties in the Chapel. Deacon Ryan, who served the Bishop Kenny community faithfully for 18 years, retired in 2008. The memorial for Deacon Ryan has been installed in the Paul Tanner Chapel.

Bishop Estévez said Mass for the student body on December 8.

After Mass and special blessing Bishop Estévez met with members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to talk about the many service projects the group is involved with throughout the year. Bishop also met with BK’s Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion in the Chapel.

In keeping with tradition, the entire senior class enjoyed an outdoor cookout on the senior patio and under a tent that was erected for the occasion.

Bishop Kenny NJROTC Cadets Beat the Florida Heat The NJROTC Unit visited the Surface Warfare Officer School learning site wet trainer, a damage control simulator, at Naval Station Mayport in October. A damage control simulator allows for training in anti-fire and anti-flood operation to enhance the capability of a crew to control and repair damage sustained by their ship.

After an introductory class which covered safety, investigating damage, and repairing leaks, the cadets were divided into two repair teams.

The teams entered different compartments in the simulator. Their task was to survey the damage, report their findings and to repair the damage.

The cadets were accompanied by a damage control instructor, to guide them through the process.

The cadets came away with a better understanding of how important the damage control organization onboard a ship can be, and especially the importance of teamwork. All the cadets left Mayport very excited about the experience and with a better understanding of why the facility is called a wet trainer.

Athletic Director Mark Thorson congratulated the student body on the success of Pink Week at Bishop Kenny during halftime at the October 14 football game.

Thorson also presented a check payable to the Donna Foundation, to BK graduate Donna Deegan ’79.

ALUMNI & REUNIONS BK Graduate Named Editor of Florida Times-Union ongratulations to Mary Kelli Palka, Bishop Kenny Class of 1990, on her recent promotion to the position of Editor of the Florida TimesUnion and Jacksonville.com. Ms. Palka has been managing editor of the paper since September 2015. The promotion was effective January 1.

C

Ms. Palka started her career at the Florida Times-Union in 2003 as a reporter covering government, education, and public utilities. In 2012 she left to become communications coordinator at UF Health Jacksonville. She returned one year later, at the invitation of the Times-Union, as investigative editor. She was later promoted to interim metro editor, local editor and managing editor/news.

In her new role Palka manages a staff of approximately 85.

Ms. Palka recently visited BK to accept the congratulations of Principal Todd Orlando and Mary Kelli Palka ‘90 also to take a look at the campus which has changed substantially since 1990. One of the stops on the tour was the Demetree Learning Commons where Mr. Orlando talked about the integration of technology throughout campus. The 3-D printers, newly installed this school year, kicked off a conversation about STEM advancements in education, and specifically at BK. Staff members of Bishop Kenny’s student newspaper, The Shield, gathered in the academic conference room to ask questions of the newly appointed editor. When asked by one the staffers how her years at Bishop

Kenny impacted her professional career, Palka responded, “My time at Bishop Kenny and in Catholic elementary school didn’t influence my career path, but it did influence me in other ways. It helped me know the difference between right and wrong, and helped me develop a moral compass.” In continuing the conversation, specifically about the digital age, Palka cautioned the students, “Be careful of what you write and where you put it.” And finally, her advice to students aspiring to write as part of their career path, “You just can’t read enough.”

Ms. Palka is a graduate Elon College, now Elon University.

Members of the Bishop Kenny Class of 1986 celebrated their 30-year class reunion on the weekend of November 4 and 5. Approximately 50 classmates from as far away as Hawaii, New York, West Virginia, and North Carolina gathered for two wonderful evenings of friendship, catching-up, reminiscing, and creating new memories.

The fun began on Friday night as classmates and their significant others descended on the Bishop Kenny homecoming game to cheer the Crusaders on to victory against Ridgeview High School. This time we sat in the parent section as many of us have students at BK and our children were sitting in the student section! For some, this was the first time returning to the BK campus since graduating 30 years ago.

The fun continued on Saturday evening at Moxie Kitchen. We gathered for cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres and had a wonderful time as we continued to catch up and reminisce as we had the night before. We also took the time to pay tribute to our classmates who have passed away.
