NEW GUN LAWS IN EFFECT

Despite the State of Oklahoma's new gun carry law that went into effect today, Bishop Kelley High School remains a Gun-Free School Zone which means all guns are banned on campus regardless of age.

The only exception is the school's Security Officer who will continue to carry a firearm for the protection and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff.

AUCTION 2020

This year, Bishop Kelley High School celebrates its 60th anniversary and 40 years of hosting an auction where we bring our community together for one common goal: to continue the legacy of a quality Catholic education and life preparatory environment for our students.

This year’s auction, 60s Soiree, will be held at River Spirit Casino Resort. Patron sponsor tables of ten seats will go on sale in December. To honor our legacy, we are offering a $2,500 level for alumni: The Old Fashioned. Other levels will range from to the Presenting Sponsor level of $25,000 (The Manhattan, includes 20 seats) to $3,000 (The Mint Julep). Visit the BK website here in the near future to view all the exciting details.

Gift Gathering is underway!  November 5th is the last day so send donations with your students to their first block class.  Whether its cash, checks, items, restaurant gift cards, gift certificates for services, tickets to a concert or sporting event or a week at a vacation home – it’s all very valuable and the key to the fundraising at the April 2020 Auction. 
 

Reserve your Patron table by February 21, 2020 to be invited to the Patron Party which will be held on March 5, 2020!

(Patron Party Levels includes: The Manhattan, The Gimlet and The Classic Martini)

Places to Be Parties
We are bringing back Buy-In Parties, also known as "Places to Be", this year to build community within the BK family. Hosting a PTB party includes providing a location, food, and drinks for the event. Parties can accommodate 5 to 25 (or more) people. Party ideas: Whiskey Tasting, Progressive Dinner, Sports Watch Parties, Spa Party, Mardi Gras or Kentucky Derby Party, Girls Night Out, etc.

Hosting a party is fun especially when you co-host with another family or two! If you are interested in hosting a party, you can donate a party during Gift Gathering or contact Places To Be chairs Shawna Rocco (shawnarocco@gmail.com) and Jennifer Wong (jenlai_wong@hotmail.com).
