ON CAMPUS Juniors and Seniors Receive Honors at Awards Banquet On Sunday, May 3, Foley hosted their annual Junior/ Senior Honors Banquet. Several students received esteemed awards, from staying on the honor roll all semesters while at BFC to having the highest grades in classes. Here are some of the Highest Student Honor Awards. BFC Student Ambassador Award – This award is given to a senior who has committed themselves as a student ambassador throughout their time at Bishop Foley Catholic. This student, with their enthusiasm and energy, shares the “Foley Spirit” with all our visitors, young and old. They are dedicated to the vision and mission of BFC. This student upholds the BFC Honor Code in his/her daily words and actions. Antonio Capaldi Stanley Scislowicz Award - This award was established and donated by the Scislowicz family in memory of their son Stan, who was killed in a tragic hit and run accident.

ON CAMPUS Foley Students Compete at VentureLympics Friday, March 27 may have seemed like a normal school day to many schools, but to BFC students, it turned into a day full of competition to see who would take home the most gold medals in the annual VentureLympics. The day began with each class choosing their torch bearers and those students proceeding into the gym to stand on the podium. Then, the games began with an obstacle course that spread throughout the entire school! From there, several different events took place throughout the day, such as a cake decorating contest, a dance off, a Draw Mr. Accavitti contest, trivia, tug-of-war, ultimate Frisbee, and finally, sumo wrestling. Each student was able to find an event that they could participate in and several students participated in more than one event! The points that each class earned throughout the day were added in to the spirit points each class had earned so far throughout the entire school year. Seniors were ahead in spirit points going into the day and they earned enough points to stay in first place, giving them Prom day off. The class that was the winner of VentureLympics, though, was the Junior class, as they dominated in several events including the dance off and arm wrestling! Catholic Schools Week 2015 Being able to attend a Catholic school is truly a gift for all of our students and the BFC community celebrated this gift together during Catholic Schools Week. The national theme for Catholic Schools Week 2015 was once again “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service.” The week exemplified all three categories and how our tight-knit school community is able to engage in Faith, Knowledge, and Service. The students participated in many fun activities throughout the week such as the “Celebration of Life” that Student Council put on, the annual staff versus students dodge ball game, and the annual talent show (which featured surprise guest Mr. Valinski!) The week culminated with a Mass at Guardian Angels where BFC and GA students got to celebrate together, followed by breakfast. We hope that this exciting week was filled with the underlying message that we would not be the “Undeniably Catholic, Academically Excellent” community that we are without all the support we receive from parents, students, and benefactors! 5
