Knight Notes from the President
President:
Rev. David Belt
At Bergan’s 2012
graduation ceremony,
I had an opportunity
to offer a few words
to
the
newest
members of our
alumni. I shared with
them that Doctor
Jonas Salk once said that the greatest
gifts that parents could give to their
children are “roots and wings.”
Through our work and ministry at
Bergan, we have the honor of
assisting parents in their primary task
of raising their children, of giving
them “roots” in faith, knowledge, and
service. But there comes a time when
our students have to be set free, and
allowed to go into the world to make
a difference through their love,
talents, and abilities. I asked the
graduates to always remember that,
wherever this great journey of life
takes them, they are always “Bergan
Knights.” They will always be a
member of our family, and we will
continue to support them with our
love and prayers.

Scrip Coordinator:
 Mrs. Sharon Francis
As members of Bergan’s alumni, you
are always connected to our
community and our mission of
educating and forming the young
people that have been entrusted to us.
The students that we serve today rely
Facilities:
 Mr. Joe Uhlik
on your prayerful support and
generosity in order to become firmly
rooted in faith, knowledge, and
service.
Like any household of faith, Saint
Patrick’s Parish and Archbishop
Bergan Catholic School need financial
resources in order to fulfill our
mission. We are in the beginning
stages of planning a capital campaign,
so that we can raise the money we
need to pay off our elementary school
building loan and to pay our operating
debt. We hope that we can count on
you to be a part of our success, and
that you will consider a gift in this
campaign.
While we look ahead to a campaign to
reduce our debt, I think it is also
important to take a moment and
appreciate how far we have come as a
parish and school community. In the
past year, we have seen an increase in
Sunday Mass attendance; there is an
increase of over 18% in Sunday
giving; our parish and school expenses
are well below budget; we recently
achieved our financial goal for the
Archdiocesan Annual Appeal; the
enrollment at Archbishop Bergan
Catholic School is gradually
increasing; the school re-structuring
plan that we implemented a year ago
was more efficient while making our
program of study more effective.
Among the most encouraging news
that I can share is that, even though
we anticipated a deficit in this year’s
budget of $280,000, our projections
show that, between increased income
and decreased expenses, we should
end the fiscal year with a balanced
budget!
While we have some work ahead of
us, our future is bright. The success of
our coming campaign will dramatically
reduce the interest that we will have to
pay on our loans, while at the same
time help strengthen the financial
position of our parish and school.
This, in turn, will allow us to focus
our full attention to ministering to our
parish families and educating our
children in the Catholic faith.
“Roots and wings.” As you have been
given the gift of a solid, faith-based
education, I ask that you help us build
upon the legacy of faith and service
that has been entrusted to us. Help us
to educate and prepare the next
generation of leaders in our Church,
country, and community.

"Don’t wait to share your stories of the “dash.”
Though school let out for
summer break on Ascension
Thursday, it never seems to be
summer until we’ve celebrated
Memorial Day Weekend. As a kid
growing up in Hartington, NE we had
a family tradition of always taking
flowers to the cemetery on Memorial
Day morning and then staying for the
Mass that Monsignor Werner would
offer at the cemetery.
This past Memorial Day, I had the
privilege of celebrating the Mass at
Calvary cemetery in Fremont. Over
400 people were present to celebrate
the Mass on this very special day.
This is a day when we especially
remember those men and
women who have served our country
and gave their lives protecting the
many freedoms that we cherish.
After celebrating the Mass, I visited
with several people and wondered
around the cemetery for a bit. One of
the traditions that I noticed at Calvary
cemetery was that deceased alumni of
Archbishop Bergan Catholic School
had a plaque and Bergan flag placed at
their grave. As I looked at these various graves and headstones, I was
reminded of the story of the dash. In
short, the story of the dash is a story
of all the life that is lived in the dash
(-) between a person’s birth and their
death. Many, many stories can be told
from all that happens in that “dash.”
We shouldn’t wait until someone dies
however to tell those many good news
stories from the “dash.” Archbishop
Bergan is blessed to have over 2000
alumni through its 50+ years of
graduating classes. Imagine all the
great stories of the accomplishments
and good news that Bergan alumni
have to share.. Share those stories
with us for future newsletters. Join us
for the annual reunion and share those
stories. Don’t wait to share your
stories of the “dash.”

Alumni teaching at Archbishop Bergan Catholic School
The main reason I
decided to teach at
Bergan was because of
the "Bergan Family". I
love the atmosphere at
Bergan and being able
to share my faith as a
part of teaching. I think
it is a true testament
that so many alumni (I think there are 10 of
us now) have returned to Bergan to work
and send their children here. My husband
Ryan ('05) and I got married June 4, 2011
and don't have children yet but we are firm
believers in the education of the whole child
that Bergan provides.
I got my degree in Education and Human
Sciences and an endorsement in coaching
at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I just
completed my first year of teaching. This
past year I taught 2nd grade and I loved it!
Within the last week I found out that next
year I will be taking on the role of a resource
teacher for the elementary building. I am
also very excited about this new adventure
and the opportunity to help students K-6
succeed academically, socially and in their
faith!
The other teachers and faculty here at
Bergan are like family...partially because
most of my teachers and coaches are still
teaching here. At first I thought it would be
weird and that the other staff would treat
me like a student still but that has been the
farthest from the truth! My high school
teachers and coaches have been excited to
learn from me just as much as I have been
to continue to learn from them.
The elementary staff is the best group of
people that I have ever worked with! It is
great to get to come to "work" everyday and
be with your best friends and to be able to
share and grow in our faith together.
Katie Belak Nielson
Class of 2006
Each newsletter we will feature one of our own in no particular order, who has come back to grace the halls of our school in either the

Puls Bowman (84), Kate Wewel Hurst ('88), Kim Moore Diekmann ('90), Angie Fisher Kempf ('90), Kris Moore Janke ('92), Danielle Schmitz
Paulson ('93), Christopher Paulson ('95), Ryan Stieren ('02), Seth Mruz ('05) and Katie Belak Nielson ('06). Starting to teach next fall will be
Cindy Mahlberg Nielsen ('73).

BERGAN KNIGHTS FOREVER
"Archbishop Bergan Catholic School exists to instill a passion,
as exemplified by Christ, for faith, knowledge and service."
Kindergarten Graduation
Parents, Grandparents and friends gather with Principal Ron Beacom and teachers, Patti (Puls, '84) Bowman and Lori McIntyre to
honor the Kindergarten class with a graduation ceremony. The students sang the "Days of the week," "Movin' on Up" to the music of
"Louie Louie," complete with a kick line, "Waves of Mercy" and received "diplomas" to celebrate their accomplishments. (More
pictures on www.facebook.com/berganknights)
Sixth Grade Sendoff
The sixth graders celebrated their last full day of school in the Elementary Building with a luncheon and awards as part of the
sixth grade sendoff. Next year these students will attend classes in the Jr. High/Sr. High building. Best wishes to all of you!

Welcome Class of 2012 to our Archbishop Bergan Alumni Association
"This class has recognized that they are part of something larger than them
and has taken great pride in providing great service to others." Ron Beacom, Principal
Front L to R: Maddie Bowman, Alyssa Pinales, Ashley Werth, Emily Fryklind, Kelsey Chamberlain, Larami Harris, Micaela Lesaik, Laura Morris.
2nd Row L to R: Dylan Crytzer, Micheala Eurck, Kara Kucera, Katie Meiergerd, Kaylie Farber-Brown, Marissa Vakiner, Dillon Laaker. 3rd Row
L to R: Zack Beeghley, Jake Jensen, Gage Lemmers, Austin Schmidt, Amber Wiese, Christian Smith, Cassidy Reller. 4th Row L to R: Matt
Sleister, Austin Dam, Noel Johnson, Jackson Mahrt, Austen Neill, Matt Jacobs, Fr. David Belt
We recognize that the primary educators
for every student reside in the home with
them. Thank you for choosing
Archbishop Bergan Catholic School and a
Catholic education as your partner for this
very important job. It is so exciting to see
the young people that come to us in the
fall and watch how they grow in one year
before leaving us in the spring. God truly
does some amazing things when we allow
him to work through us.
An equally impressive transition is to see
our Kindergarten students as they first
experience life in the school (picture and
story on page 4) to our seniors as they
graduate. The class of 2012 was certainly
an impressive group. These 28 young
people have taken education and the
process of learning very seriously. Each of
them sitting has earned a scholarship to
continue their education beyond high
school. In all, this collective group has
accepted a remarkable $763,000+ in
academic scholarships alone (turning
down over $1 million). Currently, when
adding in performance and athletic
scholarships, on average, each of these 28
students will have earned over $30,400 in
scholarship money. 100% of these
students took the ACT test. Their class
amassed an average composite score of
24. When averaging just the scores of the
26 students planning to attend 4 year
schools, that composite average jumps to
a 24.7. (2.6 points higher than the state
average and 3.6 points higher than the
national average)
Yet, if you got to know these new
additions to our alumni, to only list their
academic accomplishments would be
selling them short. We have three
members in the group who cut and helped
direct our one-act play to a district
championship and 3rd place finish at State.
There is a state speech champion and a
state speech runner-up in the class.
Members of the group led the band to a
Superior + rating at the district music
contest this past month. This class has
recognized that they are part of something
5
larger than them and has taken great pride
in providing great service to others. One
member sponsored his own blood drive.
Another managed to orchestrate a
fundraiser benefit for a family whose
young son is suffering with cancer. These
and others, through their membership in
key club, gathered over 11,000 diapers in a
diaper drive. They have provided tutoring,
coached little leagues and raised funds for
charities. Most impressively, the class of
2012 seemed to accomplish all of this
without ever taking themselves too
seriously and understanding that they are
mere instruments for God to do his work.
Congratulations to the class of 2012 in
carrying out the outstanding tradition that
so many have worked hard to start and
maintain over our many years of existence.

BERGAN KNIGHTS FOREVER
From the Bergan Knights Alumni Office
Hello to all the Alumni!
Another school year completed and the
reunion is just a few weeks away! The
reunion banquet is scheduled during the
weekend of J.C. Fremont Days, Saturday,
July 14th. You can send your payment and
registration which is located on page 7 of
this newsletter in the mail, or pay and
register online at www.berganknights.org
click on online donations or stop by the
Parish office in person. Registration
deadline is Friday, June 29th.
As always, we will have Mass prior to the
banquet, including recognition of deceased
alumni of the honor classes. The time is
changed for Saturday night Mass to
5:00 p.m., followed by a social at St. Patrick’s
auditorium at 6:00 p.m. with dinner being
served at 6:30 p.m.
This year for the first time we are inviting
members of our newest alumni, the class of
2012. Principal Ron Beacom will introduce
the class as a group and give an accounting
of their achievements as a class. They have
graduated as the top ranking class
academically in the history of the school.
Another banquet first, we will be inducting
the first Archbishop Bergan Catholic School
Athletic Hall of Fame members as part of
the program.
After the banquet and program, a beer
garden with a live band is being planned
outside the auditorium (pending approval of
the city of Fremont and state Liquor Commission) on some of the green space. Those
of you who enjoy visiting can remain in the
auditorium after the program and share quiet
c o n v e r s a t i o n
i n
t h e
auditorium. For our guests who want to get
up and dance, there is the beer garden.
There is something for everyone!
Lastly, but of most importance is a request
of prayers for Rick Vondenkamp (’72) who
is battling cancer.
I hope you plan to attend the reunion this
year. I always look forward to seeing and
visiting with you. The reunion banquet is
my favorite activity of the year!
As always,
Gary Schmidt
