Dear Bishop Kelley Community, The 2014-15 school year is going smoothly and our students are thriving both in and outside of the classroom! With enrollment up for the 3rd straight year, stu-dents praying in the chapel, teachers busy in their classrooms, and campus alive with activities and construction, it's safe to say we have a lot going on. We're just two weeks away from final exams and the end of the 1st quarter. Our seniors are starting to realize that the year can move very quickly. Our biggest upcoming events are focused on the Class of 2019. The current 8th graders are making their choices about where to attend high school. Although I'm a little biased (okay, I have a big bias!), I can say that Bishop Kelley is the place to be! With a strong spiritual life, academic rigor for a variety of levels and tons of opportunities in the fine arts, athletics, and clubs, we are a great fit for the stu-dents who come through our doors. On Sunday October 12th from 2-4 p.m. we'll host our High School Preview for all 8th graders and their families to come see what we're all about. That will be followed by our first placement test on Saturday, November 1st. More information is available on our website www.BishopKelley.org. The other activity that's taking a lot of my time is the continuous improvement of our campus. This year's "Believe in Kelley" annual fund is going to fund many needed improvements around campus. Over the last several years, "Believe in Kelley" has made possible our geothermal HVAC, new buses, a new track, and much, much more. Thanks in advance for your help with BIK. In the month ahead, I hope you'll join us on campus for our Fall Choir Concert (Oct 1st), a volleyball match, football game or daily Mass. Each of these events points to who we are as a school and what we desire for our students: college and heaven! Thank you for all your support and prayers as the school year continues. In Christ, Rev. Brian O'Brien President

BK is now participating in International Lasallian Days for Peace. Breaking the Cycle of Poverty to Build Peace is the theme for the 2014 International Lasallian Days for Peace (ILDP). Following the outcomes of the 3rd International Symposium of Young Lasallians (ISYL), this year’s ILDP focuses on the movement to eradicate poverty, particularly as it affects access to nutrition and survival.
Lasallians are encouraged to participate by engaging in and learning about issues related to fair trade, ethical retail practices, food consumption practices, and issues of hunger in communities. Emphasis for this theme comes from Pope Francis’ appeal to support the Caritas Internationalis #Food4All Campaign, calling those who are able to take action on this issue. “We are in front of a global scandal of around one billion people … one billion people who still suffer from hunger today. We cannot look the other way and pretend that this does not exist,” said Pope Francis.

The impact of Bryan Patrick O’Brien ’65 on Bishop Kelley athletics spans four decades - as
a student, a coach, and a parent. A member of the first class that completed all four
years at Kelley, Bryan lettered in three sports - four years in both football and wrestling
and one year in track. He won the Edison Wrestling Tournament twice, which was the
equivalent of winning State at that time. Bryan earned a full scholarship to the Air Force
Academy but ultimately graduated from Missouri State University where he continued to
excel as a wrestler, taking second place in national competition. Bryan returned to help
coach at Bishop Kelley in 1974 and subsequently taught at Booker T. Washington where
he worked with future Olympic gold medalist Kenny Monday. Ever the Kelley supporter,
Bryan worked with other alumni to organize the Junior Comets Wrestling Program and
also volunteered as an assistant wrestling coach with Denny Krafft and Fred Davis. Bryan
also helped coach girls’ soccer but returned to the position of head wrestling coach from
1990-1994 while his daughter Shelly ’93 and son Daniel ’94 were in school. Daughter Sta-
cy graduated in 1990. Tresa Green Adams ’95 set state records during her softball
pitching career at Bishop Kelley and helped her team to four state tournament appear-
ances, winning back-to-back titles in 1991 and 1992. She was the first player in Oklahoma
fast-pitch softball history to rack up 100 wins, 1,000 innings, and 1,000 strikeouts in a
high school career. Under the coaching of Gordon Morgan, Tresa helped the Comets
compile a record of 142 wins and 38 losses through her four years. Her college career
was equally stellar. At the University of Tulsa, she set many national, state, and college
records for pitching, strikeouts, and shutouts that still remain in the top ten. Her 44 ap-
pearances in the 1998 season still stands as a record at TU. Barry Hinson coached Comet
basketball from 1988-1993. During those six years he compiled a 109-50 win/ loss record
and made two appearances in the state semi-finals. He ranks as the basketball coach
with the highest winning percentage in the school’s history. Bishop Kelley was his last
high school coaching position before joining the ranks of college coaching where he has
enjoyed much success including four years on Bill Self’s staff at the University of Kansas
(2008-2012.) Considered one of the top basketball programs in the country, the Jayhawks
went to the NCAA Championship game in 2012.
His first stop after leaving Kelley in 1993 was at Oral Roberts University as Bill Self’s assis-
tant and then as his successor. In 1999, Missouri State beckoned and Barry spent nine
seasons guiding the Bears to a 169-117 record with four post-season NIT appearanc-
es. Currently, Barry is entering his third year at Southern Illinois University where he is re
-energizing the program. The Salukis advanced to the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference
Tournament semi-finals for the first time in seven years and Barry finished 2nd in the
voting for MVC Coach of the Year.

Dear Bishop Kelley Families,
PTO is very proud to be a part of the spirited Bishop Kelley community. I am grateful
for all of our volunteers who share their time and talents with this organization. Our
PTO committees are off to a great start this year. We had our first meeting and two
parents volunteered to be the new Co-chairs for Club ’18, Jamie Martin and Cathe-
rine Hart. Several moms offered to help them as well. I was very pleased to see so
many parents from the freshman class in attendance. This is a great group of parents
and students! Please contact Jamie and Catherine if you have any questions regard-
ing Club ’18. [email protected], [email protected]
Our Spiritual Development Chair, Kathy Sands, welcomes anyone who would like to volunteer or learn more about Adoration and spend one hour of their time in this centuries-old Eucharistic devotion of prayer. The next Adoration is Friday October 3rd. Please contact Kathy at [email protected].
I want to thank Celeste Cole, Christen Miles, Michele Eagle, Lois Rauner, Margaret
Oglesby and the senior parent volunteers for making the Staff Appreciation Luncheon
a success. Freshman parents will help with next month’s luncheon on October 9th.
Thanks to Noreen McCorkle, Rachel Mathis, Jennifer Hames, Rachel Hallum, Jessica
Franczyk, and Tzeitel Looper who volunteered a few hours on a Saturday evening to
help make the second annual middle school “Minute to Win It” a huge success!
We are looking forward to celebrating Kidfest October 3rd from 5:30-7:00pm on the
football practice field (area outside the Commons). Please come and enjoy a beauti-
ful fall evening with your family and support the Comet football team as they take on
McAlester. PTO will be selling water, pop, and pizza. Kelley Krazies will be facilitating
games and “blow-ups” for the kids. Contact Brenda Robbins if you have any ques-
tions. [email protected]
PTO helps sponsor the annual Fall High School Preview on Sunday, October 12th. Middle School students are invited to visit our BK campus for informational meetings and tours. We serve lemonade and cookies to the students and parents. Patti Bush is in need of volunteers to bake cookies for this event. Please contact Patti [email protected] if you would like to help.
Our Moms in Prayer group (dads and grandparents are welcome too), is still meeting
in the chapel foyer every Wednesday at 1:45pm to pray for our students and staff.
All are welcome to come.
Thank you for your continued support of the Bishop Kelley PTO. All are welcome to attend our next PTO meeting Tuesday, October 7th at 8:30am in the Stephenson Fam-ily Library.

Save the date, Saturday, April 11, 2015, for the 35th Annual Bishop Kelley Auction, Kelleypalooza, which will take place outdoors on the Bishop Kel-ley campus. The evening will have that “music festival” feel with food trucks and bands before dinner, the fabulous Mary Cogan for music and dancing under the stars after dinner, and a Live and Silent Auction. Laura Duffy and Maggie Tims are the chairs for this great gathering of the Bish-op Kelley community.
The original Lollapalooza music festival began in 1991 and has featured famous bands and guests such as our very own Father O’Brien (guest not
band ). Did you know that Father O’Brien attended Lollapalooza with his sister in 1992 in Rosenberg, Texas? He was looking forward to the music of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden but was slightly distracted by an hour in the medical tent because a guy fell on his neck in the mosh pit. Oh my, who knew? Kelleypalooza promises to be safer for Father.
Coming up for the BK Auction is Gift Gathering. Each year we gather do-nations for the Auction Gift Gathering in second quarter, first block clas-ses. If you would like to be a Gift Gathering Mom, email Robin at [email protected]. Beginning Thursday, October 30, a Gift Gather-ing Mom will visit your student’s class for three Thursdays to gather do-nations. The BK community is so very generous each year and donates over $100,000 in items, gift cards, experiences, and services to Gift Gathering that will be auctioned in April. These donations are the foundation of the funds raised at the Auction. We are amazed and grateful each year at the generosity (checks and cash) and creativity (certificates for tires, a week at a home in Colorado, a hand-made BK quilt, a gourmet dinner for 10, etc.) in the donations to the Auction Gift Gathering. The money raised at the 2015 Auction will go towards tuition assistance and replacing our gym floors. (The large gym floor is the original that was installed in 1960.) Thank you for your support of Bishop Kelley High School!
