• Support our Sister Community Agua Escondida
  Benefiting our sister community Agua Escondida, El Salvador

  4/18/2024

  

  Bellarmine celebrates its connection and relationship of over 20 years with its sister community of Agua Escondida, El Salvador. Each year, the Bellarmine community comes together for the Solidarity dinner, at which we eat a simple meal together and share stories about El Salvador, Agua Escondida, and student experiences while on immersion trips. The Solidarity Dinner raises money to support the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Monseñor Romero (Monseñor Romero Infant Development Center). The Center is a kindergarten that supports the children of our sister community and helps initiates a pathway to educational growth. The kindergarten is a community pillar and symbol of hope, opportunity, and friendship for the people. We kindly invite you to celebrate Bellarmine’s relationship with Agua Escondida by offering your love, prayers, and financial support for our sister community.

  Donations to Agua Escondida are warmly appreciated. However, please note that donations are not tax deductible because we (BCP) are acting as a pass-through agent of donations that do not directly benefit us. Tickets for the dinner are $20 per person and $75 for a family of four. Ticket sales from the dinner directly support the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Monseñor Romero. If you are able, you are also welcome to make an additional donation to support Agua Escondida. Please see below to better understand some of the items we are raising money for to support the school's operation.

  • $10 donation pays for a daily hot lunch for the kindergarten
  • $20 donation pays for a month of electricity for the kindergarten

  • Artificial Intelligence Courses - High School

    Artificial Intelligence Fall Courses for high school will occur from the week of Jan 29 - week of March 25.

    Inspirit AI offers an interdisciplinary, project-based artificial intelligence education taught by Stanford, MIT, and top university graduates

    What do self-driving cars, Alexa, and iPhone's face recognition technology have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future. AI is already all around us today, and by the end of the program, students will understand the underlying concepts and motivations behind technology such as computer vision, natural language processing, and neural networks.

    In this course, we will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. In the first half of the course, students learn AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live online lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models, but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they developed in the first half.

  • CLC Caring Life Community

    1/8/2024

    Time: TBD

    Location: Bellarmine Campus

    Caring Life Community or CLC is a transformative program that not only fosters deep connections and personal growth among students but also nurtures their faith and spirituality. In this unique initiative, participants are assigned to small groups and gather weekly to share their stories, dreams, and challenges in a supportive and empathetic environment. Our program extends beyond personal growth, incorporating faith, scripture, reflective activities, and open dialogue to create a holistic and enriching experience.

    In CLC, we believe in the power of human connection and the divine strength that comes from genuine, caring relationships. Through sharing experiences, exploring faith, and actively listening to one another, students explore their own journeys while deepening their faith. This program offers a safe space for individuals to be open about their beliefs, questions, and spiritual experiences.

    Our mission is to create a harmonious blend of faith and personal development, where every individual feels heard, valued, and encouraged to be their authentic selves in the context of their beliefs. Join us in CLC to strengthen your faith, build lasting connections, and support one another as we navigate life's challenges and celebrate its triumphs. Your story matters, and so do you, in the eyes of God and within our caring community.

  • Father - Son Christmas Mass 2023

    The morning starts at 9:00 AM with Mass in the Leontyne Chapel, followed by coffee, pastry, etc. served by the wonderful Bellarmine Staff at the Samuel A. Liccardo Center.

    Immediately following mass, we will be joined by Matt Mahan, Bellarmine class of 2001 and mayor of San Jose. Matt will share a few words about father-son relationships and the Jesuit education offered at Bellarmine.

    Also, at this time of giving, we are asking each family to bring one unwrapped gift of no more than $20 in value, appropriate for a child from infant to 15 years old. All donations will be given directly to Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County for local distribution to those in need. Examples of gifts include a Target gift card, a gently used or new coat, a toy, or a small backpack with a stuffed animal.

    There is no cost for this event but we will ask you to RSVP to assist us in managing the amount of guests that we can allow in the Leontyne Chapel.

    The Father-Son Christmas Mass is one of many Bellarmine Dads’ Club events throughout the year. All Bell dads are members of the Dads’ Club and are welcome to attend with their sons. We hope that you can join us on this special day of reflection and fellowship.

  • 16th Annual New York Alumni Holiday Party

    12/1/2023

    As we approach the holiday season, the Bellarmine New York Alumni Chapter is thrilled to host the 16th annual end-of-the-year Holiday Party on Friday, December 1st. Thanks to the generosity of Peter Zen '73, our gathering will once again take place in a private space at The Ainsworth Midtown Bar & Restaurant, located at the Hilton Garden Inn at 45 E. 33rd St. Bellarmine's Alumni Director, Steve Connolly '04, will be flying in from California to join the festivities. Come enjoy cocktails and food with your fellow alumni from the region!

    There is no cost to attend the party, but no donation is too large or too small as we, the New York area alumni, aim to raise funds to support Bellarmine's annual East Coast College Tour—an event in which we sponsor a group high-performing juniors receiving tuition assistance to tour prestigious east coast universities and get a taste of life in the Big Apple. For these students, this is often their first trip to the east coast and a great opportunity to expand their experience outside of California. In addition, the students have the opportunity to meet and spend time with current alumni in the NYC area during our our annual bowling night, allowing them to experience the Bellarmine brotherhood 2,500 miles away from home.

    Food and beverages at the party will be complimentary, but in the spirit of giving, please consider a donation of $50 or more to help make this experience possible for these gifted young men—every gift matters! We hope to see you at The Ainsworth!

    As always, you are welcome to bring a guest to the event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Alumni Director Steve Connolly at sconnolly@bcp.org or (408) 537-9230.

    • The Angel Fund Donation Form

      9/15/2023

      Each year, AMEN raises funds raised through our membership donations, the Fall and Spring Dinners, and from the purchases on our on-line store. These funds have been given back to the Bellarmine Community to support the Mothers’ Guild Fashion Show, the Bellarmine Direct Tuition Assistance Fund, and Magis Scholar Program.

      We have initiated a new arena of outreach for AMEN, the Angel Fund. The Angel Fund will directly support students who need assistance for any reason through the Magis Scholar Program. Bellarmine recognizes that the complete “Bellarmine experience” includes additional out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to tuition assistance, the program covers several out-of-pocket expenses to ensure each scholar has a well-rounded experience as a member of the Bellarmine community. It is through the financial support of our alumni and parents that Bellarmine can respond to the needs of these students in this fashion.

      Angel Fund recipients will be identified through the Office of the President and Development.

      For more information, please contact Sarah Bonini, Vicki Pope or Kathy Armistead. You do not need to be a Member of AMEN to contribute to the Angel Fund.

    • Artificial Intelligence Fall Courses - High School

      9/12/2023

      Artificial Intelligence Fall Courses for high school will occur every Tuesday and Thursday starting September 12 - November 2

      Inspirit AI offers an interdisciplinary, project-based artificial intelligence education taught by Stanford, MIT, and top university graduates

      What do self-driving cars, Alexa, and iPhone's face recognition technology have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future. AI is already all around us today, and by the end of the program, students will understand the underlying concepts and motivations behind technology such as computer vision, natural language processing, and neural networks.

      In this course, we will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. In the first half of the course, students learn AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live online lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models, but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they developed in the first half.

Through hands-on coding, students will learn how computers can use data to solve complex problems like natural language processing and computer vision. Our students will explore the ways they can meaningfully use AI to predict heart disease, create social robots, assist with disaster relief, and navigate autonomous vehicles.

      In our course, taught by Stanford & MIT AI researchers, we emphasize ethical responsibility, career paths in artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary applications! From beginner to advanced coders, we envision a future where students of all backgrounds can contribute towards a bright future of inclusivity and technological advancement.

      • Support our Sister Community Agua Escondida
        benefiting our sister community Agua Escondida, El Salvador

        4/20/2023

        

        Bellarmine celebrates its connection and relationship of over 20 years with its sister community of Agua Escondida in El Salvador. Each year, the Bellarmine community comes together for the Solidarity dinner, in which we eat a simple meal together and share stories about El Salvador, Agua Escondida, and student experiences while on immersion trips. The purpose of the solidarity dinner is to raise money to support the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Monseñor Romero (Monseñor Romero Infant Development Center), which is a kindergarten in our sister community that supports the children of the community and helps them enter a track of educational success. The kindergarten is a community pillar and is a symbol of hope, opportunity, and friendship for the people. We kindly invite you to celebrate Bellarmine’s relationship with Agua Escondida by offering your love, prayers, and financial support for our sister community.

        Donations to support our preschool program in Agua Escondida are warmly appreciated; however, please note that donations are not tax deductible because we (BCP) are acting as a pass-through agent of donations that do not directly benefit us. Tickets for the dinner are $20 per person and $75 for a family of four. Ticket sales from the dinner will directly support the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Monseñor Romero. If you are able, you are also welcome to make an additional donation to support Agua Escondida. Please see below, in on order to better understand some of the items we are raising money for to support the school's operation.

        • $10 donation pays for a daily hot lunch for the kindergarten
        • $20 donation pays for a month of electricity for the kindergarten
        • $50 donation provides for a month of school materials for the kindergarten
        • $200 donation provides for a year of drinking water

        There is no cost to attend the party, but no donation is too large or too small as we, the New York area alumni, aim to raise funds to support the Annual East Coast College Tour—an event in which we sponsor a group high-performing juniors receiving tuition assistance to tour prestigious east coast universities and get a taste of life in the Big Apple. For these students, this is often their first trip to the east coast and a great opportunity to expand their experience outside of California. In addition, the students have the opportunity to meet and spend time with current alumni in the NYC area during different weeknight activities (bowling night has always been a big hit!), allowing them to experience the Bellarmine brotherhood 2,500 miles away from home.

        Food and beverages at the party will be complimentary, but in the spirit of giving, please consider a donation of $50 or more to help make this experience possible for these gifted young men—every gift matters! We hope to see you at The Ainsworth, and also hope you will support even if you aren’t able to join us this year.

        As always, you are welcome to bring a guest to the event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Alumni Director Steve Connolly at sconnolly@bcp.org or (408) 537-9230.

            10/17/2022

            Artificial Intelligence Fall Courses for high school will occur every Tuesday and Thursday starting October 17 - December 12

            Inspirit AI offers an interdisciplinary, project-based artificial intelligence education taught by Stanford, MIT, and top university graduates

            What do self-driving cars, Alexa, and iPhone's face recognition technology have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future. AI is already all around us today, and by the end of the program, students will understand the underlying concepts and motivations behind technology such as computer vision, natural language processing, and neural networks.

            In this course, we will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. In the first half of the course, students learn AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live online lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models, but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they developed in the first half.

            5/31/2022

            Bellarmine celebrates its connection and relationship of over 20 years with its sister community of Agua Escondida in El Salvador. Each year, the Bellarmine community comes together for the Solidarity dinner, in which we eat a simple meal together and share stories about El Salvador, Agua Escondida, and student experiences while on immersion trips. The purpose of the solidarity dinner is to raise money to support the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Monseñor Romero (Monseñor Romero Infant Development Center), which is a kindergarten in our sister community that supports the children of the community and helps them enter a track of educational success. The kindergarten is a community pillar and is a symbol of hope, opportunity, and friendship for the people. We kindly invite you to celebrate Bellarmine’s relationship with Agua Escondida by offering your love, prayers, and financial support for our sister community.

            Donations to support our preschool program in Agua Escondida are warmly appreciated; however, please note that donations are not tax deductible because we (BCP) are acting as a pass-through agent of donations that do not directly benefit us. Tickets for the dinner are $20 per person and $75 for a family of four. Ticket sales from the dinner will directly support the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Monseñor Romero. If you are able, you are also welcome to make an additional donation to support Agua Escondida. Please see below, in on order to better understand some of the items we are raising money for to support the school's operation.

            • $10 donation pays for a daily hot lunch for the kindergarten
            • $20 donation pays for a month of electricity for the kindergarten
            • $50 donation provides for a month of school materials for the kindergarten

              All fathers (or other male family figures) and sons are invited to begin the Advent season together and share in the "Men for and with Others" Bellarmine brotherhood by celebrating the Eucharist and responding to the call to support those less fortunate in our local community at the annual Father-Son Christmas Mass.

              The morning starts at 9:00 AM with Mass in the Leontyne Chapel, followed by coffee, pastry, etc. served by the wonderful Bellarmine Mothers' Guild on the deck of Samuel A. Liccardo Center.

              Our guest speaker this year will be Kevin Saldivar, Bellarmine Director of Athletics and Alumnus of the class of 2004. Mr Saldivar will share his journey beginning with Bellarmine and his vision for Bellarmine's Athletic Programs.

              Also, at this time of giving, we are asking each family to bring one unwrapped gift of no more than $20 in value, appropriate for a child from infant to 15 years old. All donations will be given directly to Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County for local distribution to those in need. Examples of gifts include a Target gift card, a gently used or new coat, a toy, or a small backpack with a stuffed animal.

              There is no cost for this event but we will require your RSVP to assist us in managing the amount of guests that we can allow in the Leontyne Chapel.

              The Father-Son Christmas Mass is one of many Bellarmine Dads’ Club events throughout the year. All Bell dads are members of the Dads’ Club and are welcome to attend with their sons. We hope that you can join us on this special day of reflection and fellowship.

              If you have any questions, please contact Brendan Ryan.

              Important Information: The safety, health, and care of our attendees is our highest priority. Masks are currently required indoors on campus. We appreciate your continued flexibility as we work to comply with Santa Clara County guidelines and provide the safest possible experience.

            • 14th Annual New York Alumni Holiday Party

              12/3/2021

              As we approach the holiday season, the Bellarmine New York Alumni Chapter is thrilled to host the 14th annual end-of-the-year Holiday Party on Friday, December 3rd. Thanks to the generosity of Peter Zen '73, this year's gathering will take place in a private space at The Ainsworth Midtown Bar & Restaurant, located at the Hilton Garden Inn at 45 E. 33rd St. Bellarmine's President, Chris Meyercord '88, and Alumni Director, Steve Connolly '04, will be flying in from California to join the festivities. Come enjoy cocktails and food with your fellow alumni from the region!

              There is no cost to attend the party, but no donation is too large or too small as we, the New York area alumni, aim to raise funds to support the Annual East Coast College Tour—an event in which we sponsor a group high-performing juniors receiving tuition assistance to tour prestigious east coast universities and get a taste of life in the Big Apple. For these students, this is often their first trip to the east coast and a great opportunity to expand their experience outside of California. In addition, the students have the opportunity to meet and spend time with current alumni in the NYC area during different weeknight activities (bowling night has always been a big hit!), allowing them to experience the Bellarmine brotherhood 2,500 miles away from home.

              Food and beverages at the party will be complimentary, but in the spirit of giving, please consider a donation of $50 or more to help make this experience possible for these gifted young men—every gift matters! We hope to see you at The Ainsworth, and also hope you will support even if you aren’t able to join us this year.

              As always, you are welcome to bring a guest to the event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Alumni Director Steve Connolly at sconnolly@bcp.org or (408) 537-9230.

            • Virtual Solidarity Event for Agua Escondida School, El Salvador

              4/29/2021

              Come celebrate our Bellarmine Immersion Programs and support the long-standing connection with the community of Agua Escondida in El Salvador. We can share a meal, learn about Bellarmine’s relationship to this beautiful school and strengthen the spirit of solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Central America.

              Agua Escondida was challenged not only by the pandemic, but two powerful summer hurricanes (Amanda and Cristóbal) which destroyed crops and homes. To support their students, Agua Escondida teachers assembled food bags, school kits and taught classes with WhatsApp and their telephones.

              For the Solidarity event we will be offering a simple take-away dinner of rice and beans and a virtual program featuring videos of Agua Escondida’s program and the memories of Bellarmine students who have served in the Immersion Program in El Salvador.

              Registration must be completed online for this event by Thursday, April 29 by 6 pm.

              Tickets purchased by Tuesday, April 27 may include an optional take-away dinner to be picked up at Bellarmine’s Liccardo.

              How It Works:

              1. Purchase Tickets: Purchase a ticket for $20 for each student, parent and friend that wants to attend. Consider an additional sponsorship donation.

              2. Request Optional Meal: Indicate if you would like to pick up an optional simple meal on Thursday, April 29 from 2:30-4:30pm at BCP’s Liccardo.

After that date, meals will not be included with your ticket.

              3. Attend the Virtual Event: Use the Microsoft team link that will be sent to you and your student one day prior to the event to join the 1 hour video call.

              Donations to support our preschool program in Agua Escondida are warmly appreciated. Bellarmine is the sole source of support for the kindergarten program. This year, more than any, we want to provide funding for a safe return to school.

              The Bellarmine Dads’ Club is excited to offer the opportunity for you, your son(s) and any golfer in your family--regardless of skill level--to get away from virtual meetings or take a break from the classroom to enjoy a casual day on the links at the classic Los Lagos Golf Course. Bellarmine is not in session on April 27th, so it’s a perfect chance to treat your son(s) and other golfers in your family to a fun mid-week outing.

              Although the format is a two-person scramble, this event is NOT a formal tournament. The emphasis is on fun and Bellarmine camaraderie. There is room for 112 golfers (56 twosomes)--plenty of space for beginner to experienced golfers.

              COVID-19 Note: Due to health ordinances, this event is not a shotgun start. Also, there are limited carts, so twosomes will be asked to share carts.

              As we enter an unusual holiday season, we're grateful for our New York alumni chapter, the good times we've had together, and the support of our Bellarmine community in the New York area. Please join us for a cocktail hour and hear updates from Bellarmine!

              While we can't have a big Christmas party this year, we wanted to gather together for a holiday season happy hour so we can all catch up and say hello. No meeting agenda, just a social time where we can hang out, share drinks distantly, and share stories and updates. There is no cost to attend, but no donation is too small as we continue to support the annual East Coast college trip for BCP juniors as well as the school's Direct Tuition Assistance program.

              We hope you can join us on Tuesday, December 8th from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. After you register below, you will receive an email with the Zoom meeting link.

              John O’Sullivan - Changing the Game: Giving Youth Sports Back to Our Kids

              “Where did the fun go?” asks coach John O’Sullivan. Children no longer simply ‘play’ sports. Parents and coaches values have shifted to focus on wins instead of enjoyment and trophies at the expense of development. In his talk, O’Sullivan will introduce us to his “7 C’s of a High Performing Mindset” that help ensure that athletics is a positive and rewarding experience for children.

              Tues. January 28; 9:30am; Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School; More information here.
              Tues. January 28; 7:00pm; Woodside Priory; More information here.

              The following week join our Mothers’ Guild Parent Education Team and BCP counselor, Terry Ryan, to discuss the high cost of youth sports and how parents can navigate the ups and downs based on the latest science and research about athletic development and parenting.

              If you have any questions, please contact Teri Treille.

                12/6/2019

                As we approach the holiday season, the Bellarmine New York Alumni Chapter is pleased to host the 12th annual end-of-the-year Holiday Party at the at the home of committee member Chris Kearns' 85 on Friday, December 6, 2019. Bellarmine's President, Chris Meyercord '88, and Alumni Director, Steve Connolly '04, will be flying in from California to join the festivities. Come enjoy cocktails and food with your fellow alumni from the region.

                There is no cost to attend the party, but no donation is too large or too small as we, the New York area alumni, aim to raise funds to support the Annual East Coast College Tour—an event in which we sponsor 4 high-performing financial aid juniors, to tour prestigious east coast universities and get a taste of life in the Big Apple and on the East Coast. For these students, this is often their first trip to the east coast and a great opportunity to expand their experience outside of California. In addition, the students have the opportunity to meet and spend time with current alumni in the NYC area during different weeknight activities (bowling night has always been a big hit!), allowing them to experience the Bellarmine brotherhood 2,500 miles away from home. Last year’s trip included visits to Columbia, Fordham, Seton Hall, NYU, St. John’s, and Stevens Institute of Technology. Thank you to all of the alumni who opened their offices and donated their time to help make the trip a success.

                In the spirit of giving, please consider a donation to help make this experience possible for these gifted young men—every gift matters! We hope to see you at the event, and also hope you will support even if you aren’t able to join us this year.

                As always, you are welcome to bring a guest to the event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Alumni Director Steve Connolly at sconnolly@bcp.org or (408) 537-9230.

                Our guest speaker this year will be Kerry Keating, analyst for ABC TV’s “After The Game” NBA live post-game show, adviser and broadcaster on Hot Mic, a new app offering fans the ability to synchronize an NFL game with their choice of announcers, 20-year Division I basketball coach--most recently at Santa Clara University, and founder and managing partner of business development firm The Vinculum Group LLC.

                Also, at this time of giving, we are asking each family to bring one unwrapped gift of no more than $15 in value, appropriate for a child from infant to 15 years old. All donations will be given directly to local organizations in need. Examples of gifts include a Target gift card, a gently used or new coat, a toy, or a small backpack with a stuffed animal.

                The cost for the breakfast is $15 per person.

                The Father-Son Christmas Mass is one of many Bellarmine Dads’ Club events throughout the year. All Bell dads are members of the Dads’ Club and are welcome to attend with their sons. We hope that you can join us on this special day of reflection and fellowship.

                Online registration will close at 12 noon on Friday, November 29th, and space is limited, so please register now.

                If you have any questions, please contact Brendan Ryan.

              • Common Ground Speaker Series & BCP Follow-up Coffee Talk

                11/22/2019

                Common Ground Speaker Series is a parent education consortium engaging school communities through distinguished speaker events.

                Richard Karlgaard with Mary Babbit
                According to Rich Karlgaard, there is nothing wrong with applauding or encouraging early success. Yet the reality is that most of us do not explode out of the gate early in life. Late bloomers are undervalued – in popular culture, by educators and employers, and even unwittingly by parents. Join us for a groundbreaking exploration of what it means to be a late bloomer and how finding one’s way later in life can be an advantage to long-term achievement and happiness. Thursday, Nov. 7; 7pm; Menlo School. More info here.

                The following week join our Mothers’ Guild Parent Education Team and BCP counselor, Terry Ryan, as we dig deeper to identify late bloomers in our own lives and how we can support them during these critical teenage years.

                If you have any questions, please contact Teri Treille.

                11/1/2019

                Please take a MO-moment to hear us out. We're bringing Movember back to Bell and we need your help. Here's what we're asking:

                1)Educate yourself about important Men's Health topics. The more you know, the better. These are real issues impacting men all over the globe, and we want you to have as much information as possible. KNOWLEDGE SAVES LIVES.

                2)Consider donating to our Bellarmine Movember campaign! All proceeds go directly to the Movember Foundation where your money will be used to address the men's health crisis. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated. $10 will get you a Bell Movember t-shirt!

                3)GROW A MO! This is your one shot to get away with a hairy face while a student at Bell. Donate $10 (t-shirts are an additional $10) and grow your stache for the entire month of November.

                4)Prove you're the best! At the end of the month, if you're proud of your facial hair growing abilities, enter the Senior Mustache/Beard contest. The winner gets to keep his hair for the rest of the first semester. He will also win eternal glory and fame.

                Excerpt from the Movember Campaign:
                Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 6 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. Unchecked, prostate cancer rates will double over the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides.

                Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change. To ensure our Impact is significant, far-reaching and long-lasting, we prioritise funding for the three biggest health issues facing men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

                Get growing and GO BELLS!

              • Kairos #148 Summer

                8/6/2019

                Rising seniors (current juniors) and rising juniors (current sophomores) are invited to participate in Bellarmine's Summer Kairos Retreat.

                Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships. While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and other activities.

                Summer Kairos 148 ... students must be dropped off at Bellarmine by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 6th. Students will finish the retreat at Bellarmine at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 9th.

                For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you. Please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer.

                The cost of the retreat is $350. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds are only guaranteed if you cancel by May 31st. From June 1st on, refunds are at the discretion of the retreat center and if approved, may not be completed until we return in August.

                You must pay by credit card upon registration unless your son receives tuition assistance. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. STUDENTS RECEIVING TUITION ASSISTANCE ONLY may register online without payment... just check "cash or check at the door". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of tuition assistance you receive. You will be emailed a request for payment which will reflect the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

                5/18/2019

                The Alumni Week of Service is an extension of our Christian Service program and it will provide alumni an opportunity to volunteer with fellow alumni at a local charity.This event brings Bay Area alumni together to provide hands-on service to their communities. Projects will be alumni led and will reflect the diversity of alumni interests and passions. Volunteer opportunities will range in size and include a vast number of alumni from multiple class years . Together, we hope that their impact will be great.

                This program is inspired by the actions of Bellarmine alumni and their long tradition of service to others. Throughout the world, Bellarmine alumni are making a difference every day. While one week of service cannot meet every need in every community, bringing all Bay Area alumni together to make a difference can have a substantial impact on both the individuals involved in this shared experience and the greater community. It is our hope that Bellarmine Alumni Week of Service is the start of something even bigger.

              • Dylan Arnold Memorial Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Charity Tournament

                5/16/2019

                “He had the biggest heart of anyone I knew.” ~ Jeremy Lum ’02
                
                

                

                For Dylan Arnold ‘20, Smash Brothers was one of the first games taught to him by his brother and Bellarmine faculty member, Jeremy Lum ’02. As he grew up, Dylan taught both his sister, Lacey, and his mother to play as well. Smash Brothers became a wonderful bonding experience for the family, playing with each other and against each other. Dylan eventually would regularly beat his older brother, who cherished the joy of playing with him and watching him succeed.

                Dylan passed away from Ewing Sarcoma cancer on August 8, 2018, right before the start of his junior year at Bellarmine. His Make a Wish was to be able to play Super Smash Brothers Ultimate before it was released; unfortunately, he never received that opportunity. In his memory, his friends at Bellarmine suggested organizing a Smash Brothers charity tournament to commemorate their friend and to celebrate his life and his impact.

                The cost to play, i.e., your donation, is $5, which you will bring to the event. All proceeds will benefit STOMP Out Bullying in Dylan's name. Online registration is required, and will be open through May 11th. Brackets will be created and emailed out to all participants.

                “I met Dylan freshman year in my English and religion classes. Everyone had the same nervous feeling of being at a new school with new people so even though we sat in the same group in religion, it took a while for us to get to know each other. I remember that once Dylan and I started to talk, I was so relieved to find a positive light in an otherwise unfamiliar environment. After a while, we started to play video games together with a group of friends, and that was where he shined the brightest. We spent a year laughing, staying up too late for our own good and making amazing memories that I never want to forget.” ~ Hudson Morley ’20
                
                

                “Dylan always had his passions about video games made clear, and whenever I visited or reached out, we’d hop into a game and create some of the best, most treasured memories I’ve experienced.” ~ Will Meckstroth ’20

                Each year, Bellarmine takes a group of well-deserving Juniors to Los Angeles to visit colleges in the area. In addition to tours and discussions, our students enjoy meeting with alumni who have made the transition from high school at Bellarmine to college the LA area.

                This year’s trip runs from February 17th-22nd and ALL alumni are invited to help kick off this trip with dinner! Matthew Zuniga '06, Director of Alumni Relations, will be in attendance to share current updates from campus. Come enjoy an evening of dinner and drinks with your fellow alumni from the region!

                There is no cost for this event. However, we encourage you to contribute to our effort to fund a Southern California college trip for twelve current Bellarmine students every year that would otherwise not be able to visit colleges in the area. All proceeds from dinner will go directly to Bellarmine's Direct Financial Aid Fund.

                If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Matthew Zuniga '06, the Alumni Director, at mzuniga@bcp.org or (408) 537-9230.

Solitude is only part of his calling and he offers retreats, talks and spiritual direction to his brothers and sisters in religious and lay communities. He blends amusing personal anecdotes with contemporary writings and teachings, enabling people to find new, imaginative ways to reach the Divine within. Through his innovative teaching he continues to develop the notion of “the inner monk,” “the hermit in the world,” and how to live a monastic rhythm in the world.

                    As we approach the holiday season, the Bellarmine New York Alumni Chapter is pleased to host everyone for an end of the year Holiday Party at the at the home of committee member, Chris Kearns' 85, on Friday, December 7, 2018. Alumni Director, Matt Zuniga '06, will be in attendance to share updates on Bellarmine. Come enjoy cocktails and food with your fellow alumni from the region.

                    There is no cost for this event. However, we encourage the support of New York alumni for the Annual East Coast College Trip and Financial Aid Program. As an alumni chapter, we are hoping to collectively raise enough to fund an east coast college trip for four current Bellarmine students who otherwise could not afford to visit schools on the east coast. Every gift matters! If everyone in the New York region were to give just $30, we would be able to fund an entire tuition! In the spirit of giving, all proceeds from this event will go directly to the Bellarmine New York Alumni Chapter Fund.

                    You are welcome to bring a guest to the event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Matt Zuniga '06, the Alumni Director, at mzuniga@bcp.org or (408) 537-9230.

                  • Kairos #143 Summer

                    8/7/2018

                    Rising seniors (current juniors) and rising juniors (current sophomores) are invited to participate in Bellarmine's Summer Kairos Retreat.

                    Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships. While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and other activities.

                    Summer Kairos 143 ... students must be dropped off at Bellarmine by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 7th. Students will finish the retreat at Bellarmine at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 10th.

                    For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you. Please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer.

                    The cost of the retreat is $350. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds are only guaranteed if you cancel by May 31st. From June 1st on, refunds are at the discretion of the retreat center. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without payment... just check "cash or check at the door". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. After April 25th, you will be emailed a request for payment which will reflect the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

We will also be led in a gentle yoga practice by Bellarmine alumni mom and yoga teacher, Jane Savignano. (No experience necessary).

                    With over a century of rich golfing history and tradition, San Jose Country Club is a family-oriented private club that provides a unique environment in which members, families and guests enjoy a superior and challenging golf experience, and can participate in memorable social and recreational experiences. Established in 1899, the San Jose Country Club is the fourth oldest golf club in Northern California. The course is truly unique to the Bay Area. Tom Nicoll, a Scottish-born professional and the club’s first head pro, designed it in 1912. John Harbottle, a classic golf course architect who likened the course to Gleneagles and noted that the course was "a touch of Scotland," renovated it eighty-eight years later.

                    The cost of this golfing event is $40 which includes a cart. Please register ASAP, as this event is limited to the first 20 golfers*.

                    *Note: You must be a registered member of the Bellarmine Alumni Golf Club in order to participate in this event. If you haven't already registered, please click here.

                    Rising seniors (current juniors) and rising juniors (current sophomores) are invited to participate in Bellarmine's Summer Kairos Retreat.

                    Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships. While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and other activities.

                    Summer Kairos 138 ... students must be dropped off at BCP by 1:30 pm on Tuesday, August 8th and will arrive back to BCP on Friday at 5:30 pm.

                    Online registration will begin April 4th for rising seniors and April 19th for rising juniors. For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you after April 24th and must be returned to Cindy Bailey in SLC immediately and no later than Monday, May 1st. Please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer.

                    The cost of the retreat is $350. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds are only guaranteed if you cancel by May 24th. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without payment... just check "I will pay by cash or check". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. After April 24th, you will be emailed a request for payment which will reflect the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

                    Honoring the Class of 2012

                    7/8/2017

                    5-Year Reunion

                    

                    Bellarmine cordially invites alumni from the Class of 2012 to celebrate Bellarmine brotherhood at the corner of Emory and Elm in honor of their 5-year reunion on Saturday, July 8, 2017. The gathering is all-you-can-eat BBQ chicken, pasta salad, grilled veggies, salad and garlic bread, and we'll be serving a variety of draft beers.

                    A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow Bells.

                    Support

                    In honor of your 5-year reunion, we are asking all members of the Class of 2012 to consider a donation to Bellarmine, demonstrating your pride in the education you received and the people who supported you along your four-year journey. Last year, only 3% of the 2012 class donated. Our reunion giving goal is 50%. It's not the size of the gift that matters. It's the participation that counts. We thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support.

                    Questions?

                    For more information, contact Matt Zuniga '06, the Director of Alumni Relations, at mzuniga@bcp.org

                    This six-day camp will enable rising high school seniors to manage the upcoming college application season. By the end of the camp, students will leave with a completed college list, a minimum of two very good drafts of college application essays, and a detailed calendar outlining their tasks in the Fall to complete their college admission testing, applications and financial aid applications on time.

                    The camp is directed by two very experienced college counselors and the ratio of campers to teachers will be 8:1, thus supporting the goals of the program. While all materials will be provided, students will be expected to bring copies of their high school transcripts and any test scores on the first day of the camp. Students are required to attend all sessions.

                    This camp is not open to current Bellarmine students.

                    Camp will meet from 1 pm to 4 pm in the Academic Resource Center in Lokey on the following days: June 12, June 13, June 15, June 16, June 19 and June 20. The schedule allows time for completing drafts of essays.

                  • All-in-One Advertising Program

                    4/20/2017

                    Bellarmine is pleased to offer an All-in-One Advertising Program to our supporters of the Mothers' Guild Fashion Show for Financial Aid, the Booster Program and the Annual Golf Classic. By purchasing an All-in-One package, you submit one contract, make one payment, and create copy for one ad (or indicate use of a previous year's ad), which saves you time and ensures consistent messaging. You and your company will save an average of over 20% off the regular price of a sponsorship or advertisements purchased for the three individual programs.

                    Bellarmine students are the ultimate benefactors of your generosity. Monies raised through these programs help in funding our financial aid program, which currently assists 25% of the student body, and contributes to our athletic program and athletic facility improvements.

                    To participate in the All-in-One Program, simply select the advertising package of your choice from the options below, and forward your ad copy to Diane Seadler. Should you prefer to advertise in only the Fashion Show Program Book or the Booster Sports Program Book, visit their individual program pages: Fashion Show or Booster Club. Similarly, if you only wish to support the Annual Golf Classic, visit the Golf Classic Sponsorship page.

                    The deadline to reserve a program ad in our All-in-One Program is August 4, 2017. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Seadler in the Office of Advancement at (408) 537-9215 or dseadler@bcp.org.

                    If you prefer, you can download, print and return the advertising agreement.

                • Student Strengths and Interests Inventory Class

                  11/30/2016

                  What tools do we provide to help our students methodically hone in on their interests and translate those interests into college majors and future careers? So often we ask students what they want to ‘be’ when they grow up. Under pressure to answer they go with what parents have told them or what they think sounds good. When I ask college students how they picked their majors it is often “I took this class and loved the teacher and the material…so that’s now my major." However, these ‘seat of the pants’ method may not lead to jobs after college. With the high cost of college, parents are becoming more and more concerned that their kids have a plan of action that will improve their chances of being happily and gainfully employed after graduation. This session will help students to reflect on their strengths and go forward with confidence based on a personal inventory of strengths and skills.

                  The Course Objective: To provide high school students with a empirically-based approach to uncover and self-identify their current interests. Students will also look at a range of possible college majors and careers that are a good match to their interests. With this clarity students can make better informed choices about possible good fit colleges and fields of studies. Students also report that they feel more confident and focused with a clearer vision of their future. After completing the online assessment, which normally takes 30 minutes, student would attend a group session to understand and interpret their personal results. Each student would receive their own Strong Profile, College Edition ®.

                  Recommended for grades 10-12

Come enjoy cocktails and a nice dinner with Fr. Jerry Wade '55, Steve Pinkston, President Chris Meyercord '88, and your fellow alumni from the region.

                  There is no cost for this event. However, we encourage the support of the Southern California alumni for financial aid. As an alumni chapter, we are hoping to collectively raise enough to fund the cost of an entire tuition. Every gift matters! If everyone in the Southern California region were to give just $30, we would be able to fund an entire tuition. This year, we're hoping to reach that goal of $19,650 and over the next five years, build towards an endowment fund that will pay for a tuition each year into perpetuity. In the spirit of giving, all proceeds from this event will go directly to the Bellarmine Southern California Alumni Chapter Endowment for financial aid.

                  You are welcome to bring a guest to the event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Aaron Langerman '11, the Assistant Alumni Director, at alangerman@bcp.org or (408) 537-9481.

                • Bellarmine Case for a Cause

                  9/26/2016

                  Bellarmine Case for a Cause is a unique opportunity for Bellarmine families to purchase cases of fine wine for the benefit of a good
                  cause - our Direct Financial Aid Fund.
                  
                  

                  We are offering case lots from seven highly-rated wineries at a reduced cost through the Case for a Cause program. The concept is simple ... you purchase one or more cases of available wines and donate half of each case to Bellarmine. Donated wine is included on the auction tables at the Golden Bell Auction in March. The remaining bottles are yours. With the holidays around the corner, these wines would make for a wonderful gift or would surely be enjoyed at your holiday table. If you'd like a little more information on each of our wine offerings, browse this collection of winemaker's notes.

                  Half of the value of your purchase is recorded as a tax-deductible donation to Bellarmine. For example, you purchase one case of Rombauer Chardonnay for $300. You donate six bottles, you go home with six bottles and a tax-deductible donation of $150.

                  Wines will be available for pick up starting November 21. You may elect to pick them up either at Bellarmine or at Joseph George Wines on Meridian Avenue in San Jose. Joseph George Wines will be hosting a Wine Pick-up Party on November 29 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm if you'd like to enjoy some wonderful hors d'oeuvres, taste some fantastic wine AND pick up your Case for a Cause wine, although you are certainly welcome to pick up your wine during normal business hours as well. You must RSVP (below) for the pick-up party by November 22, end of day. Only 90 spots are available.

                  This limited-time offer is available only through December 10, 2016, and some wines are in limited supply, so don't delay in placing your order.

                  SCREENAGERS Documentary

                  9/20/2016

                  Our Freshman Parent Night this year is centered around the screening of the documentary SCREENAGERS - Growing Up in the Digital Age. In order to accommodate all of our freshman parents, screenings will be done over two nights - September 20 for last names A-L and September 21 for last names M-Z.

                  Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston "probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.

                  Screenings each night will begin at 7:00 pm in Sobrato Theatre.

                  Although the screenings are free of charge, you must RSVP. To do so, select a quantity of tickets and specify the name of each associated attendee. We also ask that each registered parent complete a short SURVEY regarding their son's screentime by September 19th.

                  Thank you for your interest in our program. See you on the 20th or 21st.

                • 35th Annual Bellarmine Football Tailgate

                  9/9/2016

                  Alumni, parents, family and friends are invited to a pre-game BBQ and celebration at San Jose City College as the Bells prepare to take on the Golden Eagles of Del Oro High School. Despite construction at San Jose City College this year, pre-game activities will still take place as they have in years past, behind the Bellarmine home side bleachers. A few logistical changes will be made, but the event will still be located in the same general area. It is best to use the parking garage on the corner of Leigh and Moorpark.

                  Purchase your meal tickets for the tailgate, as well as your tickets to the game, below. Your meal and game tickets will be available for pick up at the registration table the night of the event. Once your order is successfully placed, you will receive a confirmation receipt for your records.

                  Your hosts and master chefs, for the 35th consecutive year, are members of the Bellarmine Alumni Council, whose 30 plus members represent seven decades of Bellarmine history and tradition. They will be BBQing chicken, sausages and hot dogs. Pre-purchased meal and game tickets will be available for pick-up at the registration table the night of the event. Also, please note that if you have already purchased a Booster Family Membership, you do not need to purchase game tickets.

                  Please register by Wednesday, September 7th by 5:00 PM. A limited amount of tickets MAY be available at the registration table the night of the event, but there are no guarantees, so register early.

                  Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships. While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and other activities.

                  Summer Kairos 133 ... students must be dropped off at Bellarmine by 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 13th. Students will finish the retreat at Bellarmine at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16th.

                  Online registration will be offered between March 21st and April 15th. For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you after April 18th and must be returned to Cindy Bailey in Campus Ministry by Monday, April 25th to complete your reservation. Please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer.

                  The cost of the retreat is $350. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds are only guaranteed if you cancel by May 31st. From June 1st on, refunds are at the discretion of the retreat center. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without payment... just check "I will pay by cash or check". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. After April 25th, you will be emailed a request for payment which will reflect the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

                  Honoring the Class of 2011

                  7/9/2016

                  

                  Bellarmine cordially invites alumni from the Class of 2011 to celebrate Bellarmine brotherhood at the corner of Emory and Elm in honor of their 5-year reunion on Saturday, July 9, 2016. The gathering is all-you-can-eat BBQ chicken, pasta salad, grilled veggies, salad and garlic bread, and we'll be serving a variety of draft beers.

                  A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow Bells.

                  Support

                  In honor of your 5-year reunion, we are asking all members of the Class of 2011 to include a participation gift of $5, demonstrating your pride in the education you received and the people who supported you along your four-year journey. Last year, only 4% of the 2011 class donated. Our reunion giving goal is 50%. It's not the size of the gift that matters. It's the participation that counts. We thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support.

                  6/5/2016

                  

                  Poppy Hills Golf Course is the newest golf course in Pebble Beach, California, after undergoing an extensive 13-month renovation that was completed in April 2014. The original Poppy Hills was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., and opened in 1986. Along with Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course, Poppy Hills co-hosted the PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am from 1991 to 2009, replacing Cypress Point in the rotation.

                  Poppy Hills was the first course in the United States to be owned and operated by an amateur golf association, the Northern California Golf Association. Poppy Hills is the headquarters and tournament home of the NCGA, which also owns Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore. Poppy Hills was featured in the original Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game series in 1999, and was an active course through 2004.

                  The new Poppy Hills has been widely heralded since it reopened in 2014.

                  The cost of this golfing event is $115 which includes a cart or $90 without a cart. Please register ASAP, as this event is limited to the first 16 golfers*.

                  *Note: You must be a registered member of the Bellarmine Alumni Golf Club in order to participate in this event. If you haven't already registered, please click here.

                  Bellarmine cordially invites
                  the Class of 1966
                  to celebrate Bellarmine brotherhood
                  at the corner of Emory and Elm.

                  

                  We will commemorate the 50 Year Reunion of the Class of '66 with a gathering and BBQ for class members and their guests on Friday, June 3rd. The following afternoon and evening, ALL alumni having marked their 50th reunion (i.e., graduates from 1966 and earlier) are invited to our reunion dinner, where we will celebrate the history and tradition of Bellarmine, with special acknowledgement to the Classes of 1966 and 1956.

                  A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow classmates.

                • All-in-One Advertising Program

                  6/2/2016

                  Bellarmine is pleased to offer an All-in-One Advertising Program to our supporters of the Mothers' Guild Fashion Show for Financial Aid, the Booster Program and the Annual Golf Classic. By purchasing an All-in-One package, you submit one contract, make one payment, and create copy for one ad (or indicate use of a previous year's ad), which saves you time and ensures consistent messaging. You and your company will save an average of over 20% off the regular price of a sponsorship or advertisements purchased for the three individual programs.

                  Bellarmine students are the ultimate benefactors of your generosity. Monies raised through these programs help in funding our financial aid program, which currently assists 25% of the student body, and contribute to our athletic program and athletic facility improvements.

                  To participate in the All-in-One Program, simply select the advertising package of your choice from the options below, and forward your ad copy to Diane Seadler. Should you prefer to advertise in only the Fashion Show Program Book or the Booster Sports Program Book, visit their individual program pages: Fashion Show or Booster Club. Similarly, if you only wish to support the Annual Golf Classic, visit the Golf Classic Sponsorship page.

                  The deadline to reserve a program ad in our All-in-One Program is August 5, 2016. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Seadler in the Office of Advancement at (408) 537-9215 or dseadler@bcp.org.

                  If you prefer, you can download, print and return the advertising agreement.

                  Go Bells!

                  May Workshops

                  If you think you might apply "early action" or "early decision" or "restrictive early action" the May workshop is for you. It is limited to the first 40 registrants. In two hours, you'll learn the purpose of the different essays (UCs, Common Application, Coalition Application, supplemental etc.) and will draft significant portions of two essays.

                  Friday, May 27

                  1:00 - 3:00 pm

                  August Workshops

                  Three workshops will be held in August, each limited to 150 students. You'll learn about the different types of essays you need to write (UCs, Common Application, Coalition Application, supplemental essays, etc.) and will leave with drafts of significant portions of a UC essay and a private college essay. You may not attend an August workshop if you have already attended the May workshop.

                  Thursday, August 4	9 - 11 am	Sobrato Theatre
                  Monday, August 8	11 am - 3 pm	Sobrato Theatre

                  Check your summer schedule BEFORE choosing your workshop session and sign up for ONLY one workshop. Because we want to provide this opportunity to as many rising seniors as possible, we will cancel all of your registrations if you register for two or more.

                  Online registrations will close at 8:00 am two school days prior to each workshop, or when the workshop fills, whichever occurs first.

                  Senior Orientation

                  Remember, all rising seniors must have a completed, printed draft of an application essay ready at Senior Orientation on August 28.

                  5/26/2016

                  This workshop is for rising seniors from the Class of 2017 who are still questioning their approach to the college list: Where will I look? How do I learn more about the college? How do I decide if I should apply?

                  BCP College Counselors will help participants explore and research options, and they should leave after the two-hour program with a solid list, with just a little more research to do. This will help rising seniors decide where to visit this summer - because, remember, all rising seniors are required to have visited four colleges before school starts in August!

                  Each workshop is limited to the first 40 rising seniors who register. Check your summer schedule BEFORE choosing your workshop session and sign up for ONLY one workshop. Because we want to provide this opportunity to as many rising seniors as possible, we will cancel all of your registrations if you register for two or more.

                  Online registrations will close at 8:00 am two school days prior to each workshop, or when the workshop fills, whichever occurs first.

                  The Dads of Grads alumni parent organization is pleased to sponsor An Evening with Justice Ming Chin. We hope you will join us as Justice Chin '60 shares his path from Bellarmine to the California Supreme Court.

                  

                  
                  
                  

                  Justice Ming W. Chin graduated from Bellarmine in 1960. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, as well as a Doctorate of Jurisprudence, from the University of San Francisco.

                  After graduation from law school, Justice Chin served two years as a Captain in the United States Army, including a year in Vietnam, for which he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and the Bronze Star. He then served three years as a deputy district attorney for Alameda County, where he tried numerous felony and misdemeanor jury trials and progressed to the position of felony trial deputy. Before his appointment to the bench, Justice Chin was a partner in an Oakland law firm, where he specialized in business and commercial litigation.

                  Justice Chin served as a judge of the Alameda County Superior Court prior to his elevation as an associate justice of the First District Court of Appeal, Division Three, in San Francisco. He later served as the Presiding Justice of that Division. Justice Chin became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of California in 1996.

                  There is no charge for this event, but prior registration is required.

                  We are happy to host two screenings of the documentary SCREENAGERS on April 7, 2016. This event is free of charge to Bellarmine families, thanks to underwriting from Bellarmine alumni parent, Debbie Lehr-Lee.

                  Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston "probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.

                  The first screening will be held at 9:00 am. Although we are reserving the majority of seats at this showing for students, we are allocating 50 seats for parents who may have a conflict with the evening viewing.

                  The second screening is scheduled for 7:00 pm.

                  You must RSVP for the screening you'd like to attend. To do so, select a quantity of tickets and specify the names of each associated attendee.

For example, if you purchase one case of MadoroM Cabernet ’11 at Bellarmine's reduced rate of $684.00, six bottles from your case will go to the Auction, and you'll get the remaining six bottles.

                  Please know that your thoughtfulness in support of Bellarmine will certainly benefit students today, as well as for the rest of their lives. Your generosity sets an example for future generations of men for others.

                  Note: Case for a Cause purchases are not eligible for admission to the Godfather Dinner.

                  Register now for the Fifth Annual Dads' Club "Suds for Duds" - Monday Night Football event.

                  Let's repeat last year's success in supporting the Winter Warmth Drive by joining other Bell dads, grads, and dads of grads for a fun-filled evening watching Monday Night Football.

                  Date: Monday, November 16th
                  Time: 5:30pm - 8:00pm
                  Location: Samuel A. Liccardo Center

                  Enjoy an evening watching the Texans and Bengals battle, and playing darts with other Bell dads, all while supporting Bellarmine's Annual Winter Warmth Drive. Clean out your closets and drawers of gently-used warm clothing and bring it to "Suds for Duds." In addition to coats and sweaters for men, women, and children, we are looking for blankets and sleeping bags. And, if you don't have any gently-used clothes, we're collecting new socks and long underwear sets. These donated items go to Sacred Heart Community Service and HomeFirst emergency shelters for women and children.

                  The evening promises to be a fun-filled night out with food and a range of craft beers provided. Attendees will receive a "Suds for Duds" commemorative beer glass - a true collector's item. What a great way to get to know and network with other Bellarmine dads in a relaxed, informal setting!

                  Cost is $25 and an item donation for the Winter Warmth Drive. Alternatively, you may simply pay an additional $35 (total $60) which will be donated to the cause.

                  Limited space available!

                  REGISTER NOW!!

                  Pre-registration deadline is Friday, November 13th.

                • Speech and Debate Registration for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors

                  11/16/2015

                  The Bellarmine Speech and Debate team is one of the school’s largest co-curricular programs at 130 members and six coaches.

                  Our competitive calendar begins in September and ends in June. Students may choose to compete locally, throughout the state or throughout the country, but must always keep in mind the broader goals of Bellarmine, in general, and of the team, in particular. Team members coach each other on a weekly basis. All team files are shared. Team leaders are chosen based upon their commitment to the freshmen and other teammates.

                  All students, with the exception of freshmen, are required to compete in at least two events. Most choose a debate event and a speech event.

                  This year, the fee to compete is $120 plus a $50 reception fee that supports Bellarmine-hosted tournaments and all the parent/student events throughout the year.

                  Please complete this registration by December 1st at 5:00 pm so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information. Identify those events in which your son plans to participate on the registration form. This is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements and does not commit your son to a particular event or exclude him from any event not checked. If you are not sure, check all that your son may be interested in.

Along with Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course, Poppy Hills co-hosted the PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am from 1991 to 2009, replacing Cypress Point in the rotation. Poppy Hills will co-host the Champions Tour's Nature Valley First Tee Open with Pebble Beach for three years, beginning in September of 2014.

                  Poppy Hills was the first course in the United States to be owned and operated by an amateur golf association, the Northern California Golf Association. Poppy Hills is the headquarters and tournament home of the NCGA, which also owns Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore. Poppy Hills was featured in the original Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game series in 1999, and was an active course through 2004.

                  The new Poppy Hills has been widely heralded since it reopened in 2014.

                  The cost of this golfing event is $115 which includes a cart. Please register ASAP, as this event is limited to the first 24 golfers*.

                  *Note: You must be a registered member of the Bellarmine Alumni Golf Club in order to participate in this event. If you haven't already registered, please click here.

                  10/8/2015

                  The Debate Team's annual "How to Judge Night" will be held Thursday, October 8th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, in the library.

                  Because families are required to provide a judging resource for every local tournament their son attends (1/2 day commitment per tournament), all debate parents are highly encouraged to attend the workshop. Attendance is required for any parent who has not previously judged more than 10 rounds and whose son plans to debate.

                  After an explanation of the rules and judging procedures, attendees will see a demonstration debate by upper classmen in either Policy or Lincoln Douglas (LD) debate, and the parents will judge the contest. We recommend asking your son which category he is interested in competing in since you will be able to attend only one demonstration.

                  Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP your attendance so that we may plan accordingly. Registration will close on October 7th at noon.

                  Please contact Nirupama Vaidyanathan or Kelli Glass if you have any questions regarding the evening.

Tom Nicoll, a Scottish-born professional and the club’s first head pro, designed it in 1912. John Harbottle, a classic golf course architect who likened the course to Gleneagles and noted that the course was "a touch of Scotland," renovated it eighty-eight years later.

                  The cost of this golfing event is $50 which includes a cart. Please register ASAP, as this event is limited to the first 24 golfers*.

                  8/8/2015

                  Rising seniors (current juniors) and rising juniors (current sophomores) are invited to participate in Bellarmine's Summer Kairos Retreat.

                  Registration for rising seniors begins at 8:00 am on Monday, March 23.

                  Registration for rising juniors begins at 8:00 am on Thursday, April 2.

                  Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships. While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize missed class as well as conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and robotics activities during the year.

                  Summer Kairos 127 ... students must be dropped off at Bellarmine by 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 8th, 2015. Students will finish the retreat at Bellarmine at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 11th, 2015.

                  Online registration will be offered between March 23 and April 13, 2015. For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you after April 14th and must be returned to Kay Smith in Student Services by Tuesday, April 21st to complete your reservation. Over the summer, additional items must be sent via email, so please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer months.

                  The cost of the retreat is $315. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds will be offered only under extenuating circumstances. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without payment... just check "I will pay by cash or check". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. After April 21st, you will be emailed the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

                  7/11/2015

                  

                  Bellarmine cordially invites alumni from the class of 2010 to celebrate Bellarmine brotherhood at the corner of Emory and Elm in honor of their 5-year reunion on July 11, 2015. The reception includes all you can eat and drink (BBQ chicken, pasta salad, grilled veggies, salad, garlic bread and a variety of draft beer).

                  A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow Bells.

                  Support

                  Last year, 2% of the Class of 2010 made a gift to Bellarmine. A contribution this year is a way to honor your Bellarmine experience and also serves as a great opportunity to boost your class participation percentages. The Alumni Office asks that you donate $5 in honor of your 5-year reunion.

                  Questions?

                  Join us as Chuck Geschke shares the experiences and lessons learned in the journey from a Jesuit Catholic High School in Cleveland, Ohio, to founding a high-tech company in Silicon Valley.

                  Networking and refreshments: 6:00 - 7:00 pm
                  Program: 7:00 - 8:30 pm

                  

                  Charles (Chuck) Geschke co-founded Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1982. He retired from his position as president of Adobe in 2000 and continues to share the chairmanship of the board with Adobe’s co-founder John Warnock. Prior to co-founding Adobe Systems, Geschke formed the Imaging Sciences Laboratory at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 1980. From 1972 to 1980, he was a principal scientist and researcher at Xerox PARC's Computer Sciences Laboratory. From 1963 to 1968, Geschke taught mathematics at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio.

                  Geschke has actively participated on several boards of educational institutions, non-profits, technology companies and arts organizations, and has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (1995), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2008) and the American Philosophical Society (2012). In October 2009, Geschke was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation by President Barack Obama, and in the fall of 2010, he was presented with the Marconi Society Award for scientific contributions to human progress in the field of information technology.

                  Geschke holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon University and a M.S. in mathematics and an A.B. in Latin, both from Xavier University.

                  6/20/2015

                  "Terry is a true coach/teacher/athletic director. Throughout the years, he has been able to motivate others with his humor and caring personality… He has always been there for me and his athletes. And I am sure they feel the same way as I do towards him, as an example of what to be.” ~ Larry Rogers

                  
                  

                  

                  Join us as we honor Terry Ward and celebrate both his retirement after nearly 35 years of service to Bellarmine College Preparatory and the history and progress of BCP athletics over those years.

                  The event will be held in San Jose - either at Bellarmine or at a private residence - dependent upon the number of well-wishers who RSVP their attendance. We will confirm the location as soon as the numbers dictate the venue.

                  Cocktails and heavy appetizers will be served. There is no fee to attend; instead, we hope that you will consider a gift in Terry's honor to the Track & Field Renovation Project. More information regarding how to support the renovation campaign will be available on www.gobells.org in the coming weeks.

                  Organizing Committee: Patrick McCrystle * Luis (Tony) Folan * Rob Meinhardt * Tim Watson * Ian Champeny * Patrick Kelly * Thomas Ryan * Sean Collins.

                • All-in-One Advertising Program

                  6/10/2015

                  Bellarmine is pleased to offer an All-in-One Advertising Program to our supporters of the Mothers' Guild Fashion Show for Financial Aid, the Sports Booster Program and the Annual Golf Classic. By purchasing an All-in-One package, you submit one contract, make one payment, and create copy for one ad (or indicate use of a previous year's ad), which saves you time and ensures consistent messaging. You and your company will save an average of over 20% off the regular price of a sponsorship or advertisements purchased for the three individual programs.

                  Bellarmine students are the ultimate benefactors of your generosity. Monies raised through these programs help in funding our financial aid program, which currently assists 25% of the student body, and contribute to athletic facility improvements.

                  To participate in the All-in-One Program, simply select the advertising package of your choice from the options below, and forward your ad copy to Diane Seadler. Should you prefer to advertise in only the Fashion Show Program Book or the Booster Sports Program Book, visit their advertisement pages: Fashion Show Sponsor and Booster Club Membership. Similarly, if you only wish to support the Annual Golf Classic, visit their web page.

                  The deadline to reserve a program ad in our All-in-One Program is July 31st, 2015. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Seadler in the Office of Advancement at (408) 537-9215 or dseadler@bcp.org.

                  If you prefer, you can download and print the advertising agreement.

                  5/30/2015

                  Bellarmine cordially invites alumni
                  who have graduated 50 or more years ago
                  to celebrate Bellarmine brotherhood
                  at the corner of Emory and Elm.

                  ALL alumni having marked their 50th reunion (i.e., graduates from 1965 and earlier) are invited to our reunion dinner, where we will celebrate the history and tradition of Bellarmine, with special acknowledgement to the Classes of 1955 and 1965.

                  A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow classmates.

                  Saturday, May 30th - Class of 1965 and Earlier

                  Please park in one of the designated areas on campus: Liccardo, Mathewson, Carney, Emory or the Soccer Field lot. The areas surrounding the Bellarmine campus are Permit Parking only and you will be ticketed or towed away if you park in these areas.

                  Support

                  Support from the Bellarmine community is essential to the success of the school, its students, faculty and staff. It is largely due to the generous gifts received that we are able to provide a rich and diverse Catholic education in the Jesuit tradition at Bellarmine. A gift of any amount is truly valued. We hope you will join the more than 1200 alumni who give back every year with a donation, which can be specified below.

                • College List Development Workshop

                  5/26/2015

                  This workshop is for rising seniors who are still questioning their approach to the college list: Where will I look? How do I learn more about the college? How do I decide if I should apply?

                  BCP College Counselors will help participants explore options and research options, and they should leave after the three hour program with a solid list, with just a little more research to do. This will help rising seniors decide where to visit this summer - because, remember, all rising seniors are required to have visited four colleges before school starts in August!

                  This workshop is limited to the first 40 rising seniors who register.

                  3/15/2015

                  Reflection: careful consideration; an image or representation

                  All Bellarmine Dads!! We all make mistakes - but a Dad's loving embrace of his son in a moment of mercy and reconciliation can change a son's life. During this Morning of Reflection, designed exclusively for dads, we'll come together for discussion on how forgiveness affects the life of your son. Take this opportunity to pause and get in touch with your faith. Father Russ Roide, S.J., will facilitate a conversation on "Forgiveness As An Essential To Healthy Relationships" in the lives of your sons. A featured panel of Bellarmine students will round out the morning discussions.

                  Take advantage of this opportunity to commune with other Bellarmine dads. The registration fee for this event is $40 per person which includes a continental breakfast and lunch.

                  SPACE IS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 80 DADS - RESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY!! Please register by Monday, March 9th.

                  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mike Molano, Stephen Bonovich, or any Dads' Club Board Member.

                  Denise Roy, MFCC (Therapist, Author and Mom) will facilitate our retreat day as we learn new skillls and practices that can support us in leading more mindful, compassionate, and grace-filled lives. As a part of our agenda, Denise will also include material from her two books: Momfulness: Mothering with Mindfulness, Compassion and Grace and My Monastery is a Minivan.

                  The retreat will be held at Bellarmine on March 15th at Liccardo Center on the Bellarmine Campus from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm and will include a continental breakfast, lunch and mass beginning at 3:00 pm.

                • The Godfather Dinner

                  1/22/2015

                  

                  For the past ten years, Bellarmine alumni, dads, alumni dads and friends have gathered to enjoy delicious food and the finest wines, in the name of fellowship and philanthropy. You are invited to join us this year as we celebrate the 11th annual Godfather Dinner, benefiting Bellarmine's financial aid program.

                  Case for a Cause

                  Thanks to Bert George and Andy Amador, owner of MadoroM, we will once again offer the “Case for a Cause” wine purchase program. You can help support Bellarmine students by making the purchase of one (or more!) cases of wine. Fifty percent of your purchase will be used as an auction item for the Golden Bell Auction, and you'll go home with the other 50%. For example, if you purchase one case of MadoroM Cabernet ’10 at Bellarmine's reduced rate of $684.00, six bottles from your case will go to the Auction, and you'll get the remaining six bottles.

                  Please know that your thoughtfulness in support of Bellarmine will certainly benefit students today, as well as for the rest of their lives. Your generosity sets an example for future generations of men for others.

                  Buy a Case of Wine for the Cause!

                  Although the Godfather Dinner has already taken place, you may still participate in Case for a Cause.

                • Fourth Annual "Suds for Duds" Event

                  11/17/2014

                  Please join us for the Fourth Annual Dads' Club "Suds for Duds" event. Let's repeat last year's success in supporting the Winter Warmth Drive by joining other Bell dads, grads and dads of grads for a fun-filled evening watching Monday Night Football. New this year will be two electronic dart boards!

                  Date: Monday, November 17
                  Time: 5:30pm - 8:00pm
                  Location: Samuel A. Liccardo Center

                  Enjoy an evening watching the Steelers and Titans battle, and playing darts with other Bell dads, all while supporting Bellarmine's annual Winter Warmth Drive. Clean out your closets and drawers of gently-used warm clothing and bring it to "Suds for Duds." In addition to coats and sweaters for men, women, and children, we are looking for blankets and sleeping bags. And, if you don't have any gently-used clothes, we're collecting new socks and long underwear sets. Bellarmine's donated items go to Sacred Heart Community Service and HomeFirst (formerly EHC Lifebuilders) emergency shelters for women and children.

                  The evening promises to be a fun-filled night out with food and beer provided. Attendees will receive a "Suds for Duds" commemorative beer glass - a true collector's item. What a great way to get to know and network with other Bellarmine dads in a relaxed and informal setting!

                  Cost is $25 and a donation for the Winter Warmth Drive. Alternatively, you may simply pay an additional $35 (total $60) which will be donated to the cause.

                  Limited space available! REGISTER NOW!! Online sales will close on Monday, November 17th at noon.

                  If you have any questions, please contact Greg Cioth.

                  11/10/2014

                  The Bellarmine Speech and Debate team is one of the school’s largest co-curricular programs at 150 members and eight coaches. The Bellarmine team won its ninth consecutive state team championship in 2014.

                  Our competitive calendar begins in September and ends in June. Students may choose to compete locally, throughout the state or throughout the country, but must always keep in mind the broader goals of Bellarmine, in general, and of the team, in particular. Team members coach each other on a weekly basis. All team files are shared. Team leaders are chosen based upon their commitment to the freshmen and other teammates.

                  All students, with the exception of freshmen, are required to compete in at least two events. Most choose a debate event and a speech event.

                  This year, the fee to compete is $120 plus a $60 reception fee that supports Bellarmine-hosted tournaments and all the parent/student events throughout the year.

                  Please complete this registration by December 1st so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information. Identify those events in which your son plans to participate on the registration form. This is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements and does not commit your son to a particular event or exclude him from any event not checked. If you are not sure, check all that your son may be interested in.

                  Tuesday, October 28, 2014, 7:00-8:30pm The Fairmont San Jose Fashion Show Meeting with light appetizers, wonderful desserts, and beverages! For all Committee Chairs and committee members who will be working at the event! You will get to know the layout of the Fairmont and what happens in each room. We virtually take over an entire floor and you need to know your way around and be able to direct guests to check-in, the Imperial Ballroom, and bathrooms. Where are centerpieces and programs stored? Where is the hospitality room? What is the process for getting large items to and from the Fairmont? Learn the answer to these and other questions in this all-important meeting. We'll also have an Underwriters and Program Ads update. We recommend ride sharing (Why not meet at Bellarmine and commute over together?) and parking in the Fairmont PLAZA Parking garage (just north of the hotel at 50 West San Fernando St. between S. Market St and S. 1st St.) as Fairmont's garage fills up quickly. Also, we’ll do the drawing for the Belle of the Ball! You need not be present to win.

                    Rising seniors (current juniors) and rising juniors (current sophomores) are invited to participate in Bellarmine's New Summer Kairos Retreat.

                    Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships.While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize missed class as well as conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and robotics activities during the year.

                    Summer Kairos 121 ... students must be dropped off at Bellarmine by 2:00 p.m. on Saturday August 9th, 2014. Students will finish the retreat at Bellarmine at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday August 12th, 2014.

                    Online registration will be offered between May 4 and May 13th, 2014. For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you after May 14 and must be returned to Kay Smith in Student Services as soon as possible (by the beginning of finals) to complete your reservation. Over the summer, additional items must be sent via email, so please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer months.

                    The cost of the retreat is $325. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds will be offered only under extenuating circumstances. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without payment... just check "I will pay by cash or check". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. After May 20 you will be emailed the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

The reception includes all you can eat and drink (BBQ chicken, burgers, pasta salad, grilled veggies, salad, garlic bread and a variety of draft beer).

                    A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow Bells.

                    Support

                    Last year, 3% of the Class of 2009 made a gift to Bellarmine. A contribution this year is a way to honor your Bellarmine experience and also serves as a great opportunity to boost your class participation percentages. The Alumni Office asks that you donate $5 in honor of your 5-year reunion.

                  • Summer School Math Placement Testing

                    6/11/2014

                    The Bellarmine Summer Program will offer optional math placement testing for rising 6th-8th graders this year. These exams are designed for parents who are unsure of the appropriate math placement for their child.

                    We will use the ALEKS system as our testing mechanism. ALEKS is a web-based, artificially-intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to determine exactly what a student knows and doesn’t know in a course. This is the same system that the Bellarmine College Preparatory Math Department uses to place students.

                    Algebra I Testing

                    If you are unsure if your child should take Pre-Algebra or Algebra I, register for the Algebra I placement test, which will be held on June 11th. Two sessions are being offered: 8:00 - 10:00 am and 10:00 am - 12:00 pm.

                    Geometry Testing

                    If you are unsure if your child should take Geometry or Algebra 2, register for the Geometry placement test, which will be held on June 12th. Two sessions are being offered: 8:00 - 10:00 am and 10:00 am - 12:00 pm.

                    When to Register Your Child for Both Tests

                    If you are completely unsure as to the appropriate level of math your child should be taking, register for both the Algebra I and Geometry placement exams.

                    By registering for one or both of these exams, you give the Summer School Principal permission to adjust your child’s math class selection at his discretion. Parents will be contacted after any course adjustments are made.

                    Registration will close on June 10th at 3:00 pm.

                    Questions? Email summerschool@bcp.org.

                  • All-in-One Advertising Program

                    4/23/2014

                    Bellarmine is pleased to offer an All-in-One Advertising Program to our supporters of the Mothers' Guild Fashion Show for Financial Aid, the Sports Booster Program and the Alumni Golf Classic. By purchasing an All-in-One package, you submit one contract, make one payment, and create copy for one ad (or indicate use of a previous year's ad), which saves you time and ensures consistent messaging. You can even save off the regular price of ads purchased for the three individual programs.

                    Bellarmine students are the ultimate benefactors of your generosity. Monies raised through these programs help in funding our financial aid program, which currently assists 25% of the student body, and contribute to athletic facility improvements.

                    To participate in the All-in-One Program, simply select the advertising package of your choice from the options below, and forward your ad copy to Diane Seadler. Should you prefer to advertise in only the Fashion Show Program Book or the Booster Sports Program Book, visit their advertisement pages: Fashion Show 2014 and Booster Club Membership. Similarly, if you only wish to support the Alumni Golf Classic, visit their page.

                    The deadline to reserve a program ad in our All-in-One Program is August 8, 2014. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Seadler in the Office of Advancement at (408) 537-9215 or dseadler@bcp.org.

                    If you prefer, you can download and print the advertising agreement.

                  • Seder Meal - An Invitation to Bellarmine Students & Their Families

                    4/8/2014

                    What is a Seder?

                    A 'Seder Meal' is the traditional Jewish meal that recalls the Passover. It was on the night that the Hebrew people, still enslaved in Egypt, were led by God through the Red Sea into freedom.

                    Moses directed the people to eat in haste. Unleavened bread and a lamb of sacrifice were main elements of the meal. It was at a Passover meal that Jesus celebrated his last supper with the disciples. During the meal, Jesus took the bread and wine and declared them to be his body and blood. He became the new Passover, our passage from slavery to freedom, from death to life. He is the new Lamb of sacrifice.

                    When and where will we celebrate the Seder?

                    Tuesday, April 8, 2014 in Liccardo
                       5:45 pm: Gathering/seating
                       6:00 pm: Candle Lighting Ritual & Seder begins
                       7:00 pm (approx.): Simple meal served;
                       8:40 pm (approx.): Closing prayer

                    How will we celebrate the Seder?
                    We will celebrate the Seder meal with the traditional Seder foods served as a symbolic meal. Halfway through the Seder we will share in a simple meal of a pasta & salad.

                    This is an experience to heighten the fullness of Holy Week and deepen our understanding of the Eucharist. For this reason, it is highly recommended for Scripture students (Freshmen) and Confirmation students.

                    Children in second grade and above are welcome to attend.

                    Our Seder Host and Hostess
                    Ernie and Blessie LaScola celebrated their first Seder Meal at Holy Family Church with the Jesuits in the late 1970s and have continued sharing it for over 30 years.

                    Deadline for registration is March 28, 2014. Space is limited to 100 attendees, so register early.

                        Previous to this position at Seattle University, Fr. Cobb distinguished himself as a teacher of English Literature at SU and served as the Provincial's assistant for formation and higher education for the Oregon Province. He was involved in the creation of the world-renowned Chapel of St. Ignatius at SU. His involvement in that project was the impetus of his expertise in "art, architecture and environment," a talent the university called upon many times for oversight of art on campus. Jerry's gifts have also been tapped by the Society of Jesus as a retreat director for faculties of Jesuit schools.

                            2/16/2014

                            

                            “Embracing our Gifts"
                            Facilitated by Rosemarie Shaheen Healy, LMFT

                            Please join us for a luncheon tea, as we spend an afternoon reflecting on the many and varied gifts we have in our lives.

                            We all have many blessings and gifts to be grateful for...those we may have held dear for many years, perhaps as we've walked our journey of motherhood...and those which continue to grace us now and in the future.

                            Join us as we gather together to explore the many gifts we encounter at the various stages in our lives, and learn ways we can embrace the wonderful joys we all share. We will explore ways to enhance how we acknowledge these gifts and joyfully experience gratitude that comes from within.

                            Our retreat facilitator will be Rosemarie Shaheen Healy, LMFT. She is "mom" to Robert '99, Patrick '01, and Peter '04- all Bellarmine graduates. Rosemarie has worked as the Academic Dean of Presentation High School in San Jose for the past 15 years and is also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In her free time, Rosemarie enjoys cycling, yoga, and writing. But her all consuming joy in life has been being a mom to Rob, Patrick, and Peter and watching them grow and develop into wise and compassionate men for others.

                            Rosemarie loves sharing her experiences as a woman, a mother, and a seeker of all things new and challenging. Her personal motto comes from Eleanor Roosevelt - "Do one thing every day that scares you". She believes that while life may not always be easy, sharing our personal challenges and victories with other women allows us to create a community of support, friendship and solidarity. Based on this belief, Rosemarie created her blog: One Hip Diva- Musings about Motherhood, Menopause and Midlife Mischief. She invites you to read and enjoy the various entries prior to the Day of Reflection and come ready to share your own story!

                                Case for a Cause

                                Thanks to Bert George and Andy Amador, owner of MadoroM, we will once again offer the “Case for a Cause” wine purchase program. You can help support Bellarmine students by making the purchase of one (or more!) cases of wine. Fifty percent of your purchase will be used as an auction item for the Golden Bell Auction, and you'll go home with the other 50%. For example, if you purchase one case of MadoroM Cabernet ’09 at Bellarmine's reduced rate of $648.00, six bottles from your case will go to the Auction, and you'll get the remaining six bottles.

                                Please know that your thoughtfulness in support of Bellarmine will certainly benefit students today, as well as for the rest of their lives. Your generosity sets an example for future generations of men for others.

                                Buy a Case of Wine for the Cause!

                                12/15/2013

                                The Dads' Club cordially invites all fathers and sons to honor the "Men for Others" Bellarmine brotherhood by celebrating the Eucharist on Sunday, December 15th at 9:00 am in Leontyne Chapel. All class years are encouraged to attend this special event, with Dick Cobb, SJ, as celebrant. The Mass will be followed by a Christmas breakfast served by the Mothers' Guild in the Samuel A. Liccardo Center. All fathers (or other male family figures) and sons are welcome. Our breakfast speaker will be Bellarmine alumnus Usua Amanam '09 who is a current student and member of the football team at Stanford University.

                                The cost for the breakfast is $18 per person. Also, at this time of giving, if you can do so, we are asking each family (rather than person) to bring one unwrapped gift of no more than $15 in value, appropriate for a child from infant to 15 years old. All donations will be given directly to organizations in need. Examples of gifts include a Target gift card, a gently used or new coat, a toy, or a small backpack with a stuffed animal.

                                We hope that you can join us on this special day. Space is limited, so please register now.

                                Please RSVP by Friday, December 13th. On-line registration will close at 12 noon.

                                If you have any questions, please contact Matt Mingrone.

Financial aid recipients make Bellarmine stronger on the court, on the quad and in the classroom. This is a great opportunity to help your class giving percentage and impact current Bells.

                                49ers' Kaepernick vs Washington's RG3

                                Attention all Dads - Come join us Monday night, November 25th at 5:30 p.m. for the Third Annual Dads' Club "Suds for Duds" event. Let's repeat last year's huge success in supporting the Winter Warmth Drive. This year, there is a special bonus. It is Monday Night Football between the 49ers and the Redskins.

                                The "Suds for Duds" event is a great way to get to know other Bellarmine dads and Alumni dads. Enjoy an evening watching the San Francisco 49ers defeat the Washington Redskins while supporting Bellarmine's annual Winter Warmth Drive. Clean out your closets and drawers of gently used warm clothing and bring it to "Suds for Duds." In addition to coats and sweaters for men, women, and children, we are looking for blankets and sleeping bags. And, if you don't have any gently used clothes, we're collecting new socks and long underwear sets. Bellarmine's donated items go to the Sacred Heart Community Service Center and EHC Lifebuilders emergency shelters for women and children.

                                The evening promises to be a fun-filled night out with food and beer provided. The first 200 who register will receive an original "Suds for Duds" commemorative beer glass - a true collector's item. What a great way to get to know and network with other Bellarmine dads in a relaxed, informal and fun-filled setting!

                                Cost is $20 and a donation(s) for the Winter Warmth Drive. Alternatively, you may simply pay an additional $35 (total $55) which will be donated to the cause.

                                10/16/2013

                                The Bellarmine Speech and Debate team is the school’s largest co-curricular program at 150 members and eight coaches. Also known as the National Forensic League, the Bellarmine team won its eighth consecutive state team championship in 2013.

                                Our competitive calendar begins in September and ends in June. Students may choose to compete locally, throughout the state or throughout the country, but must always keep in mind the broader goals of Bellarmine, in general, and of the team, in particular. Team members coach each other on a weekly basis. All team files are shared. Team leaders are chosen based upon their commitment to the freshmen and other teammates.

                                All students, with the exception of freshmen, are required to compete in at least two events. Most choose a debate event and a speech event.

                                This year, the fee to compete is $100 plus a $60 reception fee that supports Bellarmine-hosted tournaments and all the parent/student events throughout the year.

                                The registration period has been extended. Please complete the following information by October 16th so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information. Identify those events in which your son plans to participate on the registration form. This is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements and does not commit your son to a particular event or exclude him from any event not checked. If you are not sure, check all that your son may be interested in.

                                8/10/2013

                                The Kairos Retreat at Bellarmine College Prep offers a unique spiritual opportunity that has the potential to change your son's life in a positive way. Kairos offers the time and space in which to better know yourself, God and others.

                                Your son is invited to participate in Bellarmine's Kairos Retreat program. Campus Ministry will be sponsoring five (5) KAIROS Retreats this year. Students will depart at 3:30 p.m. on the first day of each retreat as listed below and return at approximately 6:00 p.m. on the last day. Retreats will take place at various locations.

                                Although there is rarely a good time to miss school, just trust that this is an opportunity worth the effort. Support your son in choosing to be a part of the growing "Kairos family". As you are selecting dates for Kairos, please consider the recommendations from your coaches and club moderators. Some timing considerations are included below, next to each Kairos date.

                                KAIROS #116 October 1 – October 4
                                Works well for winter & spring athletes (except for football) and for speech & debate and robotics members.

                                KAIROS #117 November 19 – November 22
                                Works well for fall & spring athletes (excluding football) and robotics members .

                                KAIROS #118 January 7 – January 10 (seniors only)
                                Works well for seniors involved in fall & spring sports and seniors in robotics and speech and debate.

                                KAIROS #119 January 27 – January 30 (Monday thru Thursday)
                                Works well for fall & spring athletes and for robotics members.

                                Works well for fall & winter athletes.

                                Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships. Please note that the October and January Kairos Retreats fill quickly.

                                Online registration is available beginning Tuesday, July 16. The only way to register for one of the five Kairos Retreats is online.

                                The cost of the retreat is $285. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration.

                                FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without immediate payment. Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering. Please check "Pay by Cash or Check" when asked for type of payment. About a month before your retreat you will be notified by email of your actual retreat cost and asked to either pay by credit card or to send a check for payment.

                                8/10/2013

                                Bellarmine Summer Kairos #115...

                                The Kairos Retreat at Bellarmine College Prep offers you a unique spiritual opportunity that has the potential to change your life in a positive way. Kairos offers the time and space in which to better know yourself, God, and others. You are invited to participate in Bellarmine's New Summer Kairos Retreat.

                                Campus Ministry will be sponsoring six (6) KAIROS Retreats this year, though at this point we are only accepting registration for our inaugural summer offering of the retreat, open to rising juniors and seniors (current sophomores and juniors). Registration for the other five retreats offered during the year will begin in July 2013.

                                Kairos is an opportunity to take some quiet time away from the busyness of life in order to prayerfully reflect on some of life’s important issues, to share thoughts, challenges, joys, and hopes with others, and to develop new friendships.While there is never an ideal time to take four days away, this retreat may minimize missed class as well as conflicts with athletics, speech and debate (check summer institute dates), and robotics activities during the year.

                                Summer Kairos 115 ... students must be dropped off at Bellarmine by 2:00 p.m. on Saturday August 10th, 2013. Students will finish the retreat at Bellarmine at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday August 13th, 2013.

                                Online registration will be offered between March 28th and May 1st, 2013. For those who register, a consent to treat form will be emailed to you after May 1 and must be returned to Kay Smith in Student Services as soon as possible to complete your reservation. Over the summer, additional items must be sent in via email, so please ensure that your parent email address below is correct and that you will be checking it regularly over the summer months.

                                The cost of the retreat is $255. An email confirmation will be sent when you register letting you know that your registration has been processed. Payment will be by credit card only. Because of the summer dates, refunds will be offered only under extenuating circumstances. If you are not a financial aid student you must pay by credit card upon registration. Failure to do so will invalidate your registration. FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS ONLY may register online without payment... just check "I will pay by cash or check". Your discounted cost will be determined by the percent of financial aid you receive. After May 1 you will be emailed the actual amount due. Do not wait for financial assistance to be confirmed before registering.

                                6/3/2013

                                

                                Bellarmine's Advancement Department will be holding a phonathon this June, where alumni will call their peers in order to solicit financial support for BCP. The school relies on alumni gifts to sustain its programs, especially in the area of financial aid. Phonathons have been a tradition at Bellarmine in the past, and this year's effort is a "re-launch" of the program.

                                In order for the effort to succeed, we need alumni callers who are passionate about Bellarmine to make the case for giving back. As a phonathon caller, you will play a big role in helping Bellarmine get the gifts it needs to stay strong, and help strenghten the bond between Bellarmine and its alumni.

                                The 2013 Alumni Phonathon will take place in Wade Hall (formerly St. Robert’s Hall) on the evenings of June 3rd - 6th. Each evening will run from 6 pm to 8 pm. We’ll have food each night, as well as a brief training session.

                                Thank you in advance for your time and consideration for this important program.

                                5/31/2013

                                Bellarmine cordially invites alumni from the Class of 1963 and earlier to celebrate Bellarmine brotherhood at the corner of Emory and Elm. We will commemorate the 50 Year Reunion of the Class of '63 with a gathering and BBQ for class members and their guests on Friday, May 31st. The following afternoon and evening, ALL alumni having marked their 50th reunion (i.e., graduates from 1963 and earlier) are invited to our reunion dinner, where we will celebrate the history and tradition of Bellarmine, with special acknowledgement to the Classes of 1963 and 1953.

                                A Bellarmine reunion is a wonderful setting for camaraderie and the renewal of friendships. It is a time for recalling memories and for marking new beginnings. By being a part of this festive event, you will experience some of what it’s like to be at Bellarmine today, visit with some former teachers, and reconnect with fellow classmates.

                                5/24/2013

                                The Practice PSAT will be given at Bellarmine on Friday, May 24th. This Practice PSAT is a voluntary exercise for the Class of 2015 who will be taking the actual PSAT in October 2013. (Please note all BCP juniors will take the actual PSAT in October and Bellarmine automatically registers all students for that assessment).

                                We are unable to accommodate students from other schools and only students in the Class of 2015 are eligible for this exercise. This is the only date that this Practice Test will be given.

                                A testing agency provides this practice test and will score the results. There is a fee of $15. Students receiving 75% or more financial aid should see a college counselor to register. All other students must register online, and make payment using a credit card.

                                Results will be available either by mail or in person. Check the appropriate box which is included as part of the registration process to specify your preference. If you choose to receive the results by mail, please understand Princeton Review / Eureka will mail the results directly to your family in June, along with marketing materials for test preparation services. If you wish to receive the results in person and learn more about how they should be evaluated, come to the Sobrato Theatre on Tuesday, June 11 at 6 pm. Otherwise you may choose for your son to pick up his results from his personal counselor (Urhausen or Taylor) in late August.

                                Note: The results of this practice PSAT will not be official or shared with any college or program.

                                A confirmation with specific instructions will be sent to the STUDENT'S BCP EMAIL ADDRESS on May 17th.

                                5/20/2013

                                Bellarmine is pleased to offer an All-in-One Advertising Program to our supporters of the Mothers' Guild Fashion Show for Financial Aid, the Sports Booster Program and the Alumni Golf Classic. By purchasing an All-in-One package, you submit one contract, make one payment, and create copy for one ad (or indicate use of a previous year's ad), which saves you time and ensures consistent messaging. You can even save approximately 15% off the regular price of ads purchased for the three individual programs.

                                Bellarmine students are the ultimate benefactors of your generosity. Monies raised through these programs help in funding our financial aid program, which currently assists 24% of the student body, and contribute to athletic facility improvements.

                                To participate in the All-in-One Program, simply select the advertising package of your choice from the options below, and forward your ad copy to Diane Seadler. Should you prefer to advertise in only the Fashion Show Program Book or the Booster Sports Program Book, visit their advertisement pages: Fashion Show 2013 and Booster Club Membership. Similarly, if you only wish to support the Alumni Golf Classic, visit their page.

                                The deadline to reserve a program ad in our All-in-One Program is August 15, 2013. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Seadler in the Office of Advancement at (408) 537-9215 or dseadler@bcp.org.

                                If you prefer, you can download and print the advertising agreement.

                                Reception: 5:30 pm in the Schott Athletic Center
                                Ceremony: 7:30 pm in the Sobrato Center for Humanities and the Arts

                                The reception in the Schott Athletic Center's Hall of Honor will include food stations and an open bar. The tribute, with Master of Ceremonies Principal Chris Meyercord '88, will feature presentations about each inductee from prominent members of the Bellarmine community.

                                The purpose and goals of Bellarmine's Athletic Department mirror those of the school in general - to form young men who will be characterized by their competence, conscience, and compassion, “men for others”. Bellarmine’s great sports tradition is easily seen in the number of Central Coast Section titles earned by the school. Since the inception of the CCS in 1967, Bellarmine has earned 290 total championships in all sports - starting with the school’s first-ever section title in 1981. This amazing statistic is unmatched by any other school in the Section – coed, public or private – that have earned CCS titles in both boys and girls sports.

                                Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 17, 2013.

                                Bellarmine Spiritual Director

                                How do you feel about turning 45 or approaching 50, 60 and beyond? Most of us probably do not like getting older. We prefer to slow the progress of time, to stay young, and avoid describing ourselves as middle-aged or in midlife! Fr. Russell Roide will guide us through parts of the second half of life. Whether you are experiencing the empty nest syndrome or have a feeling of “what’s next?", happiness is there for the taking.

                                Fr. Russell Roide has returned to Bellarmine after 26 years as our new Director of Adult Spirituality - for moms, dads, alums, AMEN and Dads of Grads. During his hiatus from Bellarmine, he served as campus minister at Stanford University and pastor of three California province parishes in San Francisco, Phoenix and Honolulu.

                                Schedule:

                                The Bellarmine Speech and Debate team is the school’s largest co-curricular program. Although freshmen have been competing since the fall, we have not required them to pay fees until now. Freshmen will pay a partial fee of $75 as they join the varsity team this month. Please complete the following registration so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information. Additionally, identify those events in which your son plans to participate on the registration form. This is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements and does not commit your son to a particular event or exclude him from any event not checked. If you are not sure, check all that your son may be interested in.

                                9/30/2012

                                The Bellarmine Speech and Debate team is the school’s largest co-curricular program at 150 members and eight coaches. Also known as the National Forensic League, the Bellarmine team won its seventh consecutive state team championship in 2012.

                                Our competitive calendar begins in September and ends in June. Students may choose to compete locally, throughout the state or throughout the country, but must always keep in mind the broader goals of Bellarmine, in general, and of the team, in particular. Team members coach each other on a weekly basis. All team files are shared. Team leaders are chosen based upon their commitment to the freshmen and other teammates.

                                All students, with the exception of freshmen, are required to compete in at least two events. Most choose a debate event and a speech event.

                                This year, the fee to compete is $100 plus a $60 reception fee that supports Bellarmine-hosted tournaments and all the parent/student events throughout the year.

                                Please complete the following information so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information. Identify those events in which your son plans to participate on the registration form. This is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements and does not commit your son to a particular event or exclude him from any event not checked. If you are not sure, check all that your son may be interested in.

                                OneNote is probably the least known tool in the Microsoft Office suite and also one of the most amazing. If you ever use sticky notes to remind yourself of things to do, forget what name you saved a Word doc under that had those important notes from the last meeting, or wanted to use a Smart Board to teach with and didn’t know you already had one, this session is for you. OneNote is a digital filing cabinet, note taker, and presentation tool all combined in one. This class will provide basic level 1 introduction but move quickly into level 2 features and uses. By the end of the session, attendees will get a better idea of how OneNote can help keep them more organized and productive.

                                6/20/2011

                                Introduction

                                Recognizing the desire of some students to accelerate their study of mathematics, the Bellarmine mathematics department created a Summer Independent Study Program in Mathematics. This is a program designed for mathematically gifted students possessing the interest and maturity to engage in independent study during the summer vacation period.

                                Eligibility

                                Courses eligible for independent study are limited to Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Students may only enroll for independent study of their next sequential course. To be eligible to enroll in this program, a student must satisfy all of the following:

                                • have already completed one year of academic studies at Bellarmine;
                                • Submit a completed application by the indicated deadline.
                                • Pay a processing fee of $75 per student due with the student’s completed application.  Make check payable to Bellarmine College Preparatory

                                Requirements

                                In order for the mathematics department to grant credit for the independent study, students must

                                • submit a well organized portfolio of work completed during the independent study;
                                • Take proficiency tests in the course being independently studied.

                                Credit is granted at the sole discretion of the mathematics department based on both the quality of the portfolio and the results of the proficiency test.

                                NOTE:  If a student enrolls in either Bellarmine’s Summer School Accelerated Geometry or Accelerated Algebra 2, he does not need to enroll in the Summer Independent Study Program.  Summer School will administrate the student’s progress and advancing a level of mathematics for the next Fall Semester.

                                By Submitting This Form, committing to the Summer Independent Study Program and you have made your parents aware of the following guidelines:

                                • My parents strongly believe that I am mathematically gifted and academically mature to the point that I would greatly benefit by engaging in the Summer Independent Study Program. My parents also understand that it is very difficult to duplicate the work completed in a standard two-semester mathematics course over the period of summer vacation.
                                • My parents know that on Friday 22 July 2011 from 11:00am to 1:00pm that I must take proficiency tests equivalent to the final semester exams. The results of this exam, along with my portfolio work, will help the Bellarmine Math Department determine whether I have successfully completed his Summer Independent Study.
                                • My parents agree that should the Bellarmine Math Department deem that I have not successfully completed my Summer Independent Study; I will be enrolled in my next sequential course according to his last Spring Math course at Bellarmine.
                                • My parents I have been made aware that there are no make-up dates for the proficiency tests (Friday 22nd July 2011 from 11:00am to 1:00pm at Mathewson Hall). My parents will arrange vacation plans so that I will be present on that day.  In the case that a student absolutely cannot make the test, you must contact Mr. Molina (jmolina@bcp.org) by Tuesday April 12, 2011 to make alternate plans.
                                • My Parents understand that because there is no direct classroom instruction given by a faculty member of the Bellarmine Math Department, no academic credit or grade will appear on my son's Bellarmine transcript.

                                The Practice PSAT will be given at Bellarmine on Tuesday, June 7^th. This Practice PSAT is a voluntary exercise for rising juniors who will be taking the actual PSAT next October, 2011. (Please note all BCP juniors will take the actual PSAT in October and Bellarmine automatically registers all students for that assessment). A testing agency provides this practice test and will score the results. There is a fee of $15 and registration will be available only online*. Payment must be by credit card unless financial aid is requested. Sorry, we are unable to accommodate students from other schools and only rising juniors are eligible for this exercise.

                                *if students receive over 75% financial aid at Bellarmine, they should see a college counselor to register.

                                Students will have to arrive by 8:45 a.m. and will be finished by 11:30 a.m. on June 7^th. Room postings will be on the O'Donnell Hall doors. Results will be distributed in one of two ways: the student may attend a results meeting at Bellarmine in the Sobrato Theatre at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 16^th OR the student may bring a 9 x 12” envelope (not a standard business size but a 9 x 12”) with $3.00 in stamps (not postage meter tapes) affixed, addressed to the student at home to the exercise on June 7^th and we will mail the results. If we don’t receive an envelope and the student does not attend the June 16^th meeting, the results will be given to the personal counselors (either Mr. Ryan or Mr. Lauro) and students will be able to pick them up at the start of the school year.

                                Bellarmine Mothers' Guild Women's Retreat Day 2011

                                Meditation for Everyone... Journey to the Self

                                During this special day you will learn how to relax, connect more deeply with your body, conscious belief systems and sacred self, release blocking or negative energies and experience a new-found freedom. Using meditation, guided imagery, creative expression and movement, our retreat guide will take us on a journey inside our deepest landscape and will then set us free. She will share with us a series of ancient practices that will lead to a magical journey... going inside!

                                Our retreat experience will be lead by Carol Simone (known as "Simone"), author of "The Goddess of 5th Avenue" as well as other novels, books of poetry and plays. A spiritual coach, Simone shares her down-to-earth pragmatism and modern day mysticism in her private practice, radio broadcasts and workshops. Her work is about liberating the mind and creating empowerment from within. Come discover yourself, as the woman you have been looking for all of your life. (For further information on Simone or "The Goddess of 5th Avenue" please click HERE).

                                As part of our day, Simone will help us learn to cultivate sacred space in our lives. We ask that each woman bring something to place on the altar that will be blessed and returned to you at the end of the day. This should be something that you feel holds symbolic meaning for you or needs healing... pictures, poems, jewelry, sacred stones, shells, feathers, prayers, etc. Try and center your choices around you and your evolution in this life.

                              • 2010-2011 Speech & Debate Registration

                                2/1/2011

                                The Bellarmine Speech and Debate team is the school’s largest co-curricular program at 150 members and seven coaches. Also known as the National Forensic League, the Bellarmine team won its fifth consecutive state team championship in 2010. Also in 2010, the Bells brought home numerous national awards.

                                Our competitive calendar begins in September and ends in June. Students may choose to compete locally, throughout the state, or throughout the country, but must always keep in mind the broader goals of Bellarmine in general, and of the team in particular. Team members coach each other on a weekly basis. All team files are shared. Team leaders are chosen upon their commitment to the underclassmen and other teammates.

                                All students, with the exception of freshmen, are required to compete in at least two events. Most choose a debate event and a speech event. This year the fee to compete is $100 plus a $60 reception fee that supports Bellarmine hosted tournaments and all the parent/student events through out the year. Please complete the following information so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information. (If the fees present a hardship, please contact Kim Jones, and arrangements can be made.)

                                Please check all events your son plans to participate in. This is not binding, nor does it prevent the student from participating in other events, but it is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements. If you are not sure, check all events that your son may be interested in.

                                1/29/2011

                                Join us to celebrate the Lunar New Year – the most important holiday in Asia. 2011 will be the year of the Rabbit in the Chinese Zodiac. The evening includes an amazing 10-course banquet dinner with lively performances and games. This is an evening that you don't want to miss.

                                If you have questions, please contact Nancy Nevalsky (nnevalsky@yahoo.com) or Meera Gupta (meeragupta@mail.com).

                              • Khaled Hosseini Comes to Bellarmine

                                1/27/2011

                                Dr. Hosseini will talk about his latest book, as well as The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, which provides humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan, his homeland. He will also share information on his foundation’s Student Outreach for Shelters (SOS) program, a service-learning program for high schools that supports Afghan refugees in the building of homes.

                                SOS provides educational opportunities to students studying Hosseini’s novels, while also giving them an opportunity to connect with and aid the community and people they have learned about. The program focuses on tailoring and expanding the existing study guides into national standards-based lesson plans and activities for high school students, while also incorporating a service component to raise funds for shelters in Afghanistan.

                                Dr. Hosseini will be discussing his books, his foundation, and the SOS program with Notre Dame students Raquel Ryan ’11, ASB President, and Feeza Mohammed ’12, ASB Director of Community Services. Both played crucial roles in the Khaled Hosseini Foundation’s inaugural SOS program at Notre Dame. Hosseini’s novel A Thousand Splendid Suns was the 2010 selection for the ND Reads program. Students will also be sharing how Notre Dame faculty, staff, parents, students, and friends raised money and “built’’ shelters for SOS. ($1,500 builds one shelter to house 6 people.)

                                Please join us as we applaud Notre Dame’s success in raising funds to build four Shelters in Afghanistan and as Bellarmine considers the rich possibilities presented by the SOS offerings for their 2011-2012 Service Outreach and Academic programs.

                                For your Shadow Guide, you may choose either a freshman or an upperclassman (sophomore, junior, or senior). If you choose an upperclassman, we can better match your interests to a guide, as these gentlemen have experience with Bellarmine's varied and wonderful academic and co-curricular programs. A freshman guide will enable you to visit more 9th grade classes and give you more of a perspective on the transition from 8th grade to high school. However, as the freshmen have been on campus for only a short while, they may not have all the answers to the questions you have about Bellarmine.

                                All current Bellarmine Brothers are invited to this year’s Brothers' Breakaway Day scheduled for Wednesday, November 17. This breakaway will be held at the Jesuit Retreat Center in Los Altos.

                                This annual breakaway day invites Bellarmine students from the same family to join in a day of reflection focused on family living, relationship with your brother, and being in the same school with another family member. I hope the day might be one that you will consider attending.

                                This special breakaway will run from 8:10 am to 2:40 pm. Please make arrangements now with your teachers, parents, coaches, moderators, work, etc. to allow you and your brother to spend this extra time together. Campus Ministry has put together an "awesome" package of speakers and activities to insure a special memory for the two of you. Faculty moderators for this breakaway will be Bellarmine Faculty and Staff members. The bus will return to campus at 2:40 pm.

                                In addition to bus transportation, we will provide lunch and all of the supplies for the retreat. Cost of the day will be $70 for each pair of brothers. A cancellation fee of $35 is charged by the retreat house if you withdraw with less than 10 days’ notice. Do not let this fee keep you from attending; see below for procedure for requesting financial aid. Please see Mr. Duong in Campus Ministry if you have any concerns.

                                There will be limited registration: we can take 25 brother combinations on this breakaway day. There are 109 sets of brothers eligible for this retreat. Reservations are on-line only on a first-come-first-served basis. Payment must be made by credit card at the time of registration unless you are applying for financial aid.

                                For your Shadow Guide, you may choose either a freshman or an upperclassman (sophomore, junior, or senior). If you choose an upperclassman, we can better match your interests to a guide, as these gentlemen have experience with Bellarmine's varied and wonderful academic and co-curricular programs. A freshman guide will enable you to visit more 9th grade classes and give you more of a perspective on the transition from 8th grade to high school. However, as the freshmen have been on campus for only a short while, they may not have all the answers to the questions you have about Bellarmine.

                                It's time for the annual Father/Son Work Day to be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010. We are looking for father/son teams to volunteer to help do some light clean-up chores on the Bellarmine campus in preparation for the Open House.

                                The work day starts at 7:30 AM with mass celebrated by Father Sheridan, followed by a light continental breakfast, before heading out to the job. The work day ends around 11:30 AM with a BBQ lunch provided by BCP.

                                Last year, we had around 30 father (or other male adult)/son teams volunteer and everyone had a fun time. We're looking for about the same number this year.

                                If you and your sons would like to volunteer for this year's work day, please click the "Register" link on this page. If you have a question about this event or want further information, please e-mail the Dad's Club Father/Son Work Day chairman, John Picone at jpicone@aol.com.

To complete your registration you will be required to submit two more forms: a Teacher Permission form and a Consent-to-Treat Form requiring a parent's signature. These forms will be attached to that letter and/or email. You will also be required to attend a mandatory meeting at lunchtime (date to be determined) before you leave for Kairos.

                                Remember to keep your grades up...your teachers can deny your right to participate in any retreat if your grade is in jeopardy.

                                Please make sure you keep your Bellarmine e-mail account cleared so that you can receive our e-mails. Also listen to the daily announcements for reminders. There will be no reminders sent home to you. It is your responsibility to check your emails daily, listen to announcements and return completed forms promptly.

                                You will also be responsible for the timely completion of any assignments given to you by your teachers due to your absence. Please be aware that this is a school sponsored activity and that you must abide by all of Bellarmine's rules of conduct and the rules of the retreat. If you do not, your parents will be called to pick you up. Appropriate disciplinary action will follow back at school.

                                10/7/2010

                                For your Shadow Guide, you may choose either a freshman or an upperclassman (sophomore, junior, or senior). If you choose an upperclassman, we can better match your interests to a guide, as these gentlemen have experience with Bellarmine's varied and wonderful academic and co-curricular programs. A freshman guide will enable you to visit more 9th grade classes and give you more of a perspective on the transition from 8th grade to high school. However, as the freshmen have been on campus for only a short while, they may not have all the answers to the questions you have about Bellarmine.

                                Reminder: Students must bring a draft of at least one college application essay to the required Senior Orientation to be held at Bellarmine on Sunday, August 29 (which is not Labor Day weekend).

                                This is a voluntary activity. Results will be available at Bellarmine on Wednesday, June 16th OR if students bring self-addressed stamped 9 x 12" envelopes ($2.00 postage affixed) to the test on June 2nd, the results will be mailed home.

                                The cost for this Practice PSAT is $10, payable upon registration. Students receiving at least 75% financial aid from Bellarmine should see a college counselor in order to register.

                                Students should bring at least 2 sharpened #2 pencils, or a mechanical pencil that is rated at #2 . . . a calculator . . . and water/snacks.

                                They should arrive and be at one of the doors of O'Donnell no later than 8:45 a.m. The test will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and no late students will be admitted.

                                A reminder will be emailed to the student (not the parent) the week before.

                                Nourishing the Feminine Soul

                                We welcome Bellarmine women of all faiths to come together to celebrate a day of spiritual connection and energy renewal as we gather in the redwoods at the beautiful Presentation Center located in the hills above Los Gatos.

                                Retreat leader Dominican Sister Joan Prohaska, a nationally-certified Healing Touch Practitioner and Energy Medicine Specialist, will lead us through a day sure to renew body, mind and spirit. Through guided meditations, we’ll explore ways to reconnect with our inner soul. Sister Joan will share with us her knowledge of the human energy system (Chakras) and will teach us energy balancing practices to help clear stress and discomfort, as well as create renewed sense of well being.

                                Also joining in this special day’s activities will be yoga instructor Joan Loney, who will guide us through a series of Sacred Heart Yoga exercises, combining gentle movements with spoken prayer, to bring us into closer union with the divine masculine and feminine energies in our own bodies. Afternoon activities will be lead by Dance/Movement Therapist, Holly Crain, who will lead us in a series of Sacred Circle Dances. Taking hands in a circle and retracing simple, meditative steps, we'll learn to reconnect to the wisdom of ancient cultures we can use today. Come celebrate the divine feminine spirit in us all and experience the healing power of sacred movement.

                                We encourage women of all fitness levels to attend. Accommodations for yoga and dance activities will be made for anyone with physical limitations. No prior experience is needed.

                                We look forward to having you join us for this uplifting day of connection and sisterhood… it’s sure to touch your heart and soul!

                                Fr. Privett, President of USF and Principal of Bellarmine from 1975 to 1980, has served with distinction at many Jesuit institutions and is a gifted speaker. Throughout his career, Fr. Privett has demonstrated a commitment to “whole person education,” a hallmark of Jesuit education. He is uniquely qualified to discuss the challenges our sons will face upon graduation from both high school and college, and to give us guidance on how to help them succeed and thrive in the 21st century.

                                All are welcome to attend this event. Bellarmine moms are encouraged to stay after Fr.

                                Fr. Stephen A. Privett, S.J. was born in San Francisco and began his tenure as the 27th president of the University of San Francisco in the year 2000. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1960 and is a graduate of The Catholic University of America, the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, and Gonzaga University. His doctorate is in Catechetics and his particular expertise focuses on the Hispanic community in the Catholic Church.

                                Prior to his appointment at USF, Fr. Privett served as provost and academic vice president at Santa Clara University. As provost, he was responsible for oversight of student life and intercollegiate athletics, as well as academic affairs. While teaching at Santa Clara, he was recognized for “Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership” with the Sears Roebuck Foundation Award.

                                Early in his career, Fr. Privett was an instructor at Jesuit High School in Sacramento and Principal of Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose. He currently serves as a trustee at Schools of the Sacred Heart and Seattle University. He is also a member of the California Campus Compact Executive Board, Board of Governors of the Commonwealth Club of California, Board of Directors of the American Council on Education, Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, Public Architecture, and the Fromm Institute. He also serves on the Bishops and Presidents Committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Advisory Board of the California Foundation, and is an honorary member of the San Francisco Host Committee.

                                At Santa Clara, Fr. Privett helped establish the Eastside Project, a program that has received national recognition as a model program for community-based learning.

Also known as the National Forensic League, the Bellarmine team won its fourth consecutive state team championship in 2009. Also in 2009, the Bells brought home numerous national awards.

                                Our competitive calendar begins in September and ends in June. Students may choose to compete locally, throughout the state or throughout the country, but must always keep in mind the broader goals of Bellarmine in general and of the team in particular. Team members coach each other on a weekly basis. All team files are shared. Team leaders are chosen upon their commitment to the freshmen and other teammates.

                                All students with the exception of freshmen are required to compete in at least two events. Most choose a debate event and a speech event.

                                Please check all events your son plans to participate in. This is helpful for the parent committee to communicate specific tournament information and judging requirements and does not commit your son to a particular event or exclude him from any event not checked. If you are not sure, check all that your son may be interested in.

                                This year the fee to compete is $100 plus a $60 reception fee that supports Bellarmine hosted tournaments and all the parent/student events through out the year. Please complete the following information so that we can contact both the participant and his parents with relevant information.

                                10/24/2009

                                It's time for the annual Father/Son Work Day to be held on Saturday, October 24th. We are looking for father/son teams to volunteer to help do some light clean-up chores on the Bellarmine campus in preparation for the Open House.

                                The work day starts at 7:30 AM with mass celebrated by Father Sheridan, followed by a light continental breakfast, before heading out to the job. The work day ends around 11:30 AM with a BBQ lunch provided by BCP.

                                Last year, we had about two dozen father (or other male adult)/son teams volunteer and all had a fun time. We're looking for about the same number this year.

                                If you and your son would like to volunteer for this year's work day, please click the "Register" link on this page. If you have a question about this event or want further information, please e-mail the Dad's Club Father/Son Work Day chairman, John Picone at jpicone@aol.com.

                                10/5/2008

                                The Bellarmine Mother’s Guild cordially invites you to the Mother-Son Liturgy & Brunch, a popular Bellarmine tradition that brings MOTHERS and SONS together. This event is open to EVERYONE regardless of faith or denomination.

                                Great Love is the theme for this year’s Liturgy. Fr. Paul Sheridan, President of Bellarmine, will preside and offer spiritual insights on mothers and sons “Growing in Grace” together. Readings, prayers and touching reflections will be shared by current Bellarmine mothers with their sons. The newly formed Mom’s Choir will lead us in song; and the special music will feature a brass trio instrumental meditation.

                                The price of this event includes a special surprise gift that mothers and sons will give to each other as a reminder of their love.

                                A pancake and sausage breakfast will be served by the Dads’ Club; seating will be indoors at Liccardo, and outside on the patio deck and in the Chapel courtyard.

                                Students who drive to dances must park on campus. Sudents receiving rides either to or from dances must use the Liccardo parking lot, off Hedding St., for drop-off and pick-up. At the conclusion of the dance, students will be guided towards this lot. A map of this is available on the BCP website. The map also demonstrates the one-way traffic flow that governs this area both for before and after the dance. At no time should cars be parked in the red zones fronting and adjacent to the Fire Station.

                                Students who drive to dances must park on campus. Sudents receiving rides either to or from dances must use the Liccardo parking lot, off Hedding St., for drop-off and pick-up. At the conclusion of the dance, students will be guided towards this lot. A map of this is available on the BCP website. The map also demonstrates the one-way traffic flow that governs this area both for before and after the dance. At no time should cars be parked in the red zones fronting and adjacent to the Fire Station.
