FromthePrincipal
We will send the Saints
of 2015 off into the world to accomplish great things. Let me
share with you some of these
great things:
They will matriculate at some of the most
competitive schools in the country including:
Swarthmore College, Bryn Mawr College,
William & Mary, Carnegie Mellon, Johns
Hopkins, Boston College, Wake Forest,
Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh, NYU, University of Rochester, Penn State University, Virginia Tech, Villanova, as well as
our great local colleges including our
graduation host Alvernia University, just to
name a few.
 They have earned 10.5 million dollars in
merit scholarships and grants, including top
institutional academic awards, athletic
scholarships, and full-tuition scholarships
 17 members of this class will be varsity
athletes at the Division 1, 2, 3, Junior College and Post-Graduate Levels in the following sports: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Women’s Lacrosse, Softball, Swimming, and Women’s Volleyball

They will continue their education in 77
different colleges in Pennsylvania and 19 other
states such as: Alabama, Arizona, California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts,
Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, and Washington
D.C., and the country of Germany.
Additionally, the class of 2015 received a
total of 502 offers of admission to 154 different
colleges in 20 states. 97% of our 2015 Saints will
continue their education at 2 or 4 Year Colleges &
Universities. Students are also discerning the
Priesthood and religious life, they will also enter
the workforce and pursue their passions.
They have completed over 10,000 hours of
service, in soup kitchens, food banks, tutoring and
mentoring Olivet Boys and Girls Club, Habitat for
Humanity Outreach, John Paul II Fun Day, and
dozens of other causes. So yes The Class of 2015
has much to be proud of!
They are a special class, the first class to
spend all four years at Berks Catholic. And in being the first I believe there is a significant scriptural analogy that can be made. Matthew 19:30
says the first shall be last. If you think about how
this might apply to all of us, this would be a tremendous way to approach the world. If we always
put others before ourselves and completely approach the world from an unselfish point of view
we will be truly blessed. Each year my wish for
our Saints is that in their time at Berks Catholic
they have grown spiritually in their faith, formed
relationships for a lifetime, expanded their minds
and had fun doing it. I would like to wish you
and your family a safe and blessed summer.
God Bless you and your family and Go
Saints.
Yours in Christ,
Tony Balistrere

WORDS OF WISDOM
Graduation Kudos:
Congratulations to BC’s Valedictorian, Ellen
Moser and to BC’s salutatorian, Kyle Vu, for their
commitment to education. Each has worked tirelessly
to be successful. There is nothing like hard work!
Congratulations to the entire class of 2015,
they have all made important decisions about their futures. We know that whatever path they have chosen,
they will rise to the top. We are proud of our Saints!
Dual Credit:
Seniors: You should have received a letter in the mail
with instructions on how to have your dual credits
transferred from Alvernia to the college that you will
attend next year. If you did not receive the letter, please
stop at the Studies Office. Remember that credits can’t
be transferred until your final grade is sent to Alvernia.
This will occur the week after graduation.
Sophomores and Juniors: If you would like to sign up
for Dual Credit for next year, registration is running
until the end of June. A letter was mailed home with
the registration form. Payment is required at the time
of registration.
Alvernia will not allow students to register in the fall,
so it is imperative that students register before June
ends.
Report Card Information
Final Report Cards: Report cards were mailed by
June 12th.
Failures: Any student who failed a class for the year
was notified before they left on June 4th. Options for
credit recovery were given to the students at that time.
Additionally, a letter was put in the mail to confirm that
the parents were aware of the failure.
Students who fail classes for the 2014-2015 school year
must make up that work before returning to school in
August.
AP Information: Any student who took Advanced
Placement exams will be able to access their scores
online about the second week of July. Scores will not
be mailed.
Summer Reading/Summer Projects
All summer reading and summer projects have been
placed on the school website.
Over the past year, you have heard plenty about the
college process from Mr. D & company; while the information is important, and the messages the same- it
seems a good idea to share the insights of others:
Words of Wisdom………...
From the Class of 2015





Don’t slack till you get your diploma! There’s a
place for you, just be patient
It’s Okay to start early. Mr. Ditsky and Dr. Stahler
are very helpful- TALK TO THEM!
Work on your essay over the summer! Have an
open mind.
Use the resources available to you. Don’t wait till
January to begin.
Your Freshman Year GPA is IMPORTANT!
From College Admission Officers

We want to know, that the student knows why they
are applying to our school …it’s got to be more
than just name and prestige
 In our process, though, academic strength is necessary but not sufficient. We place a lot of emphasis
on voice, and I've actually blogged about how that
balances with our academic evaluations. You can
read more here: http://admissions.tufts.edu/blogs/
inside-admissions/post/close-but-not-there-yet-your
-academic-base/
 We are looking for students that are high achievers
both in and outside of the classroom; students that
are in a rigorous curriculum that challenges them
and prepares them for success in college; and students that are dedicated to extracurricular activities (ranging from sports, to music, to volunteering,
to having a part-time job). Since we utilize a holistic review process, we do everything we can to get
to know the student through their application.
From BC Parents & Family

Trust that whatever happens, it will be ok. Your
kid is strong, brave, resilient, prepared, faithful,
and most of all, ready for the next chapter. No
matter where they go, they will thrive and succeed. That's the beauty of the BC education.
 Visiting campuses after Sophomore Year was a
BIG help
From College Coaches & Athletic Administrators

Coaches Coach….Admissions Admits. Don’t
confuse the two.
You will know a coach is interested when we call/
text on a consistent basis. One letter/email does
not indicate interest.
It is nice to be able to recruit a student that was
going to get a little academic money.
We look for talent, hard workers, character kids
and good, solid students.
Develop a very strong work ethic athletically and
excellent time management skills away from athletics….
Make sure to meet the team, coaching staff, attend
a class, etc.
I dropped a good player (recruit) because her dad
was a jerk.
Ask yourself (and be honest): Is this school an
overall good fit? Would I be happy here if I were
no longer playing- or if the coach left?
SAT and ACT TEST DATES

Register: act.org/Student
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
a periodic feature meant to inform, entertain, and get you thinking:
SAT CHANGES: In March 2016 the College Board will launch the new format of the SAT Reasoning Test (aka SAT I). This will primarily affect
the current Class of 2017 and beyond. The current SAT format will remain in effect until January 2016. What we are currently hearing from Admissions Officers is that they will utilize old and new SAT formats as well as ACTs in their application review. I.E.- send all test results!
We join the growing number of our colleagues on both sides of the admission desk in strongly encouraging students to take the ACT exam as well
as the SAT.
This is an evolving situation for all involved in the college process and we will keep you apprised of new developments.
Click here for an overview of the coming changes: SAT Redesign collegeboard.org
SUMMER 2015 will find BC Saints:
♦ABROAD
JUSTIN SIBERSKI C’ 17: Justin will be spending 3 weeks in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales as an ambassador with People To
People. Justin also spent Summer 2014 in Australia with PTP!
MISS GULLING: Never one to sit still- Mademoiselle Gulling continues on her quest to visit every continent on Earth- she will spend
July and some of August traversing Australia on walkabout.
♦In GOVERNORS SCHOOL
Jonathan Gramley C’ 16 will spend 6 weeks in the Pennsylvania Governors School for the Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Selection for Governor’s School is extremely selective, and Jonathan was one of only a small handful of students selected from hundreds of applicants from across Pennsylvania.
♦SERVING THE COMMUNITY
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Mr. Olivard and Mr. Gray-BCs relationship with Olivet’s Boys and Girls Club continues. Dozens
of BC Saints are working at the Olivet’s Summer Camp!
Please let me know about your Summer Experiences!
STAY SHARP- Much like training your body for athletic competition, your voice for singing, etc… the effects of training your mind is
cumulative. In other words, the more you practice skills on a daily basis, the better you become. Take time to enjoy the summer- but also
take a bit of time each day to hone your academic and intellectual skills .
COLLEGE PLANNING MEETINGS
College Planning Meetings are well under-way. Seniors (Class of 2016) are strongly encouraged to see

As of Monday, June 15 ALL Final, Official
Transcripts have been sent to the colleges / universities
you requested.
Final, official transcripts have also been sent to
the NCAA Eligibility Center, for those of you who requested and who are participating in NCAA DI or DII
athletics in college.
Please note that your transcripts are being received by colleges and the NCAA in addition to the
thousands, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of
thousands other high school graduates sending transcripts to those same colleges and the NCAA.
We get the consistent messages from college
admissions offices and the NCAA that processing all of
this information typically begins in late June / early
July, and can take up to several weeks to complete.
With this in mind, please be patient with the
process, and if you receive reminders from colleges or
the NCAA, note that these are typically automated and
are often sent even though information is en route to or
even received by these institutions.
If you get a message from your college, or your
online portal still shows that your final transcripts need
to be sent, please call the admissions office directly to
inquire if they have gotten your transcript before contacting the BC College Counseling Office.
If during this phone conversation, you discover
that for some reason, the college does not have your
transcript, please let us know.

Campus Ministry
Service Program
The students at Berks Catholic completed another great year of community service. Collectively as
a school, they completed over 10,00 hours of service.
Many students volunteered at the Olivet Boys and Girls
Club, tutored children at St. Peter’s Parish School,
babysat at Mary’s Shelter, helped with various events
at St. Joseph’s Medical Center, worked at the Kennedy
House Kitchen, and even woke up early to serve breakfast at 6:00am at the Opportunity House. Many students also served at their home parishes helping with
CYO or lecturing and serving at Sunday Mass. During
the school year many students stop by the Campus
Ministry office to talk about their service experiences,
expressing their satisfaction in helping those in need.
Berks Catholic is also happy to announce that
thirty-three seniors earn gold service cords for completing more than 200 hours of service throughout their
four years at Berks Catholic.
Congratulations go to the following seniors
who achieved this honor:

Counseling
The PSAT/NMSQT will be administered to the
sophomores and juniors on Wednesday, October 14, 2015.
This will be the redesigned PSAT, and students will be informed about the changes during their English classes when
they return to school in September. In a nutshell, the redesigned PSAT will focus on the knowledge and skills that evidence shows matter most for college and career readiness.
The PSAT/NMSQT will have questions that more closely
resemble what is happening in today’s classrooms. The
length of the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT test will be 2 hours
and 45 minutes, which is an increase of 35 minutes. There is
also a change in the content of the redesigned test. The components of the old test were Critical Reading, Writing and
Math. The components of the redesigned test will be a Reading Test, Writing, Language Test, and a Math Test. You can
research more information about the redesigned PSAT/
NMSQT test at: www.collegeboard.org/.../redesigned-psatnmsqt
Summer is a great time to prepare for the PSAT/
NMSQT or SAT tests. One of the best ways to prepare for
either test is to log onto collegereadiness.collegeboard.org.
You will find sample PSAT/NMSQT and SAT questions at
this website.

Spirit of a Saint Award
Christian Betancourt
Spirit of a Saint Award. We have many athletes who go above and beyond to
make their team and school a better place for everyone, always ready and willing to
lend a hand to an injured teammate, help a coach clean up after practice, or lend support to anyone who needs it. These athletes embrace our four pillars: God, Family,
Academics, and Fun.
During a home track meet vs Kutztown, a Kutztown athlete went down
with a potential career ending injury. As the ambulance was taking the athlete to the
hospital, Christian Betancourt asked his coaches if he could withdraw from the event
in order to allow the Kutztown athlete to win Pole Vault in what would be his last
meet of his career. Christian, giving up a sure win for himself, showed incredible
Congratulation to all our BC Athletes for a successful year in sports!
