A letter from our Principal<br />
Dear Alumni and Friends of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />
It is unbelievable how quickly the school year passes. We are<br />
well into second quarter and staring Thanksgiving and<br />
Christmas right in the face. Our year is going well. We<br />
continue to hold parent teacher conferences at the end of<br />
first quarter. Although most high schools have abandoned<br />
this practice, we usually meet with about 60-70% of our<br />
parents. It is a joy to see that many of our parents are<br />
<strong>Luers</strong> grads!<br />
As we were last year, <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is again this<br />
year named as an exemplary school (A rating) by the<br />
Indiana Department of Education. This honor is due to the<br />
work, dedication, and care that our teachers display. In<br />
math, on the End of Course Assessment (ECA), the State<br />
passing average is 77%. <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
students scored 92.7%. In English, the State average on<br />
the (ECA) is 77% passing. <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
students scored 87%. We also demonstrated<br />
improvement based on the number of our students who<br />
passed I-Step in the 8th grade compared to the number of<br />
students who passed the math and English ECA at <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
<strong>Luers</strong>. We earned bonus points based on the number of<br />
students who, after not passing the ECA in English by the<br />
end of 10th grade, had passed the exam by graduation.<br />
A school’s graduation rate can be lowered based on the<br />
number of students who began as 9th graders at a high<br />
school, withdrew, and do not show that they registered at<br />
another school. <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> was pleased to announce<br />
that every senior who was in our school in May of <strong>2012</strong>,<br />
did indeed graduate. Based on the above rubric, however,<br />
our graduation rate was 96% compared to the State<br />
average of 85%.<br />
The last criterion to be judged is College and Career<br />
readiness. Although it did not hurt our A ranking, it is an<br />
area upon which we can improve.<br />

This section is based on<br />
the percentage of<br />
Advanced Placement<br />
(AP), International<br />
Baccalaureate, Dual<br />
Credit, or Industry<br />
Certification of student<br />
success. The State goal<br />
is 25%. We scored<br />
25.8% which gave us the<br />
maximum number of points, but we want to increase the<br />
number of students who earn a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP<br />
exams. <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> offers AP courses in<br />
English and Literature 12, calculus, biology, US history,<br />
economics, and chemistry. These are rigorous courses<br />
that enable a student to earn college credit provided they<br />
score high enough on the end of course exam. <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
<strong>Luers</strong> also offers dual credit courses. Students pay a<br />
nominal fee to the college, and take courses that enable<br />
them to earn credit at <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> and at college. We<br />
work with the University of St. Francis for a dual credit in<br />
theology and with IPFW for dual credit courses in<br />
psychology, pre-calculus, business, and theater.<br />
Several of our students spend a morning or an afternoon at<br />
Anthis Career Center learning a trade. These may include<br />
computer programming, firefighting, welding, or<br />
construction, to name a few. These students remain<br />
students at <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>; however, this is<br />
another way to prepare them for the world after<br />
graduation.<br />
A blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas season to each of you.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Mary Keefer<br />

Congratulations<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> Distinguished Knights!<br />
Jim Saul, class of ’63, Outstanding Alumnus and Diane Karst,<br />
Honorary Alumna.<br />
Jim Saul is the epitome of <strong>Luers</strong> Spirit. He has lived out the saying, "once a Knight, always a Knight." His strong<br />
faith, loyalty to Catholic education and a love of the south side of Fort Wayne make him the perfect recipient for this<br />
award. Not only is Jim a <strong>Luers</strong> graduate, but he<br />
also sent nine children to <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong>. He has<br />
volunteered his time in the athletic department,<br />
the music department and the development<br />
office. Mr. Saul lives a life of integrity, respect,<br />
responsibility, humility and hard work, all values<br />
instilled in him while he attended <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. His son says that Jim is the<br />
quintessential Knight.<br />
It is because of Diane Karst’s<br />
extraordinary dedication, support and service to<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and to her community<br />
that she was selected as the <strong>2012</strong> Outstanding<br />
Honorary Alumnus. Her students and the school<br />
have been Diane’s number one priority as she<br />
works tirelessly throughout the year as <strong>Luers</strong><br />
math department chair, math instructor and BLHS Assistant Athletic Director. Ms. Karst is also very active in St. Jude<br />
Parish where she serves as a Eucharist Minister. Diane is very humble about her skills and talents and often says that<br />
the <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> staff and students make her better every day.<br />

Homecoming <strong>2012</strong><br />
BLHS KNIGHT NEWS PAGE 4<br />
It was a perfect, yet typical, football Friday. The sun was shining, the air was<br />
brisk, and leaves were changing from bright summer green to warm autumn colors.<br />
Students all across the city occupied their high school parking lots discussing plans for the evening.<br />
People fled their offices excited for the weekend ahead. Football teams began boarding their buses,<br />
cheerleaders began the primping process, and the band members began to tune their instruments. However, on the grounds<br />
of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong>, it wasn’t just any Friday football game, it was Homecoming <strong>2012</strong>!<br />
Alumni, students, family, and friends assembled in the school’s gymnasium to kick off Homecoming in true <strong>Luers</strong> fashion with<br />
Mass. Once our prayers were in, it was time to eat! There is no better way to start a game than with a delicious tailgate dinner.<br />
Families gathered underneath a big white tent, devoured delicious food, listened to the music of the <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> Pep Band,<br />
and cheered on our Knights as they trotted down the sidewalk from the locker room to the field ready to take on the Redskins of<br />
North Side <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
As the game neared the end, Knight Victory cheers could be heard from miles around. As usual, students began to leave the<br />
premise, but on this occasion, the Alumni kept the celebration party going! The big white tent that had served as home to the<br />
tailgate party prior to the game was now transformed into a space for entertaining <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> alumni of all ages! If people<br />
weren’t flooding the dance floor to hear the amazing vocal stylings of Vince Saul, 1990 alumni and lead singer of the band<br />
“Greta Speaks,” they were mingling with old classmates, sitting by the bonfire, or dabbling into the amazing appetizers and<br />
drinks that were being served.<br />
There is no doubt that <strong>Luers</strong> Spirit was alive and well for Homecoming <strong>2012</strong>. The event brought together all branches of the<br />
<strong>Luers</strong> family and reminded us how lucky we are to be parts of such a wonderful community. Cheers to all who made this year’s<br />
homecoming a night to remember! Let’s do it again next year! By Laura Booker, class of 2005<br />

VS <strong>Luers</strong> alumni<br />
This year we had another great turnout and it was a perfect day,<br />
weather-wise, for the event. Our raffle was a huge success, with<br />
some of the best gift packages we've ever had. A special thanks to<br />
all the players who come out every year. Guys travel from all over<br />
the country in memory of Mark, and this year's game was<br />
extremely exciting, going into overtime. It's also great to see that<br />
so many people will still come out and support our cause, and<br />
remember a friend in Mark. Ryne Daley, class of 2003<br />

<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> Lacrosse was founded in<br />
1999 by 13 students. This year we expect to carry<br />
30 players on our roster and have a Varsity and JV<br />
squad. Our head coach is <strong>Luers</strong> grad, Eric Frentz<br />
’08 with Lonny Nichter ’98 as assistant coach. One<br />
of the many highlights of our year<br />
will be the Homestead game on May<br />
13 th at Indiana Tech. Last year we<br />
held an end of the year alumni vs.<br />
varsity game. We would like to<br />
continue that tradition and hope that<br />
any alum will contact me for more<br />
information. You can access our<br />
schedule on the school website.<br />
Hope to see you at a game!!<br />

Alumni Spotlight<br />
In the coming months, thousands of college students<br />
will graduate to the “real world” where they will be faced with<br />
the daunting task of acting like a professional.<br />
Hopefully, these young professionals had an internship that<br />
taught them how to succeed in the competitive working world.<br />
This column, however, isn’t about how to gain meaningful<br />
experience at an internship. It is meant for the careless type,<br />
who wishes merely to fulfill an internship credit and gain<br />
absolutely no professional experience.<br />
For that guy or gal, I offer these tips:<br />
1. Ignore criticism and continue doing things<br />
your way. Why listen to professionals who are successful<br />
and know what they are doing? Instead, do things the way<br />
you—with no professional experience—think they should be<br />
done and assume everyone else is wrong.<br />
2. Sit around and relax while you wait for<br />
your next assignment. Hurry and finish a task and<br />
then avoid your supervisor until he or she notices that you<br />
aren’t doing anything. That way you can get by with doing the<br />
least amount of work and have nothing to show in your<br />
portfolio.<br />
3. Give half an effort—it’s only an internship.<br />
You might be an unpaid intern, whose work isn’t expected to<br />
be perfect. So why try? Sloppily get things done and show<br />
your supervisor you couldn’t care less.<br />
4. Huff and puff over grunt work. Throw a fit<br />
when you’re given less meaningful tasks to complete. That<br />
way you will show your supervisor you can’t complete small<br />
tasks without having a tantrum, so you aren’t ready for larger,<br />
more significant assignments.<br />
5. Don’t ask questions; instead, assume you<br />
will do it right. When you get an assignment that you<br />
don’t understand, just guess and never ask for clarification.<br />
6. Constantly refresh social media sites on<br />
your computer and smart phone. Obviously, your<br />
Dear <strong>Luers</strong> alum,<br />
social life is more important than anything<br />
else. End of story. If you are asked to<br />
complete an assignment, make sure you<br />
By,<br />
Megan<br />
Skelly,<br />
class of<br />
2008<br />
refresh Twitter at least seven times before getting started.<br />
7. Just get up and leave when it’s time for<br />
you to go. Never check in with your supervisor when you<br />
are about to leave because he or she might give you more<br />
work to do. Instead, the minute it’s time for you to leave, just<br />
charge out the door without saying a word.<br />
8. Don’t make friends. Be mean to everyone and roll<br />
your eyes or ignore anyone who is nice to you. If you must<br />
communicate, be short and emotionless in your response. It’s<br />
not important to make friends, you are here to complete an<br />
internship and move on.<br />
9. Talk all the time and share every detail of<br />
your life. Stop whoever walks by your desk and tell them<br />
about your friend’s sister’s cousin who recently broke up with<br />
her boyfriend. It doesn’t matter that you’re at work and trying<br />
to actually, you know, work.<br />
10. Never say a word and sneakily linger<br />
around others. Sneak around the office without being<br />
noticed. If you are asked your opinion in a meeting, pretend<br />
you are mute. That way they will never know if you have a<br />
good thought or idea.<br />
So, careless interns, if you wish to gain absolutely nothing<br />
from your internship experience, except for maybe a few<br />
gruesome recommendations, follow these tips closely. And<br />
don’t forget to scowl at your supervisor every morning.<br />

a "dream intern" by her superiors.]<br />

Do you own or are you working for a company that offers internships or employment opportunities for high<br />
school, college, or post college age students? In an effort to assist our young alum in gaining experience and/or<br />
finding employment, we are interested in making connections between <strong>Luers</strong> alumni to build a base of companies<br />
or individuals that offer internships or have job opportunities available. As <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> graduates, this is a chance<br />
for you to mentor and guide other <strong>Luers</strong> alum. Together we can strengthen our students and community. If you<br />

I've been an officer with the Fort Wayne Police Department for<br />
11 years and a patrolman K9 handler for 3 and half years with<br />
my partner Bullet. After I was hired by the FWPD, I attended a<br />
20-week police academy in Fort Wayne.<br />
After receiving the bid for the K9, Bullet and I went through a 13<br />
week K9 academy. During the K9 academy we work towards<br />
certifying with the North American Police Work Dog<br />
Association (NAPWDA). Bullet and I are certified in narcotic<br />
detection and utility. Utility consists of obedience, building<br />
search, tracking, article search, area search and aggression control. We constantly train in<br />
order to keep our skills sharp. We certify in each phase (narcotic and utility) once a year.<br />
Bullet is a 6-year -old Dutch shepherd and is the only female of the 10 K9's on FWPD. Bullet lives with me at home and<br />
I take her to work with me every day. She has a long line of police dogs in her family. Sister Remy works for the New<br />
Haven Police Department, brother Stryker on the Columbia City Police Department and a brother on the Jeffersonville<br />
Police Department.<br />
Last spring I spoke in several classrooms explaining my career as a patrolman. When I was asked about <strong>Luers</strong> I<br />
responded, “<strong>Luers</strong> taught me to keep God and my faith number one. Another value I learned at <strong>Luers</strong> is that it is<br />
important to be fair and consistent with the people you work or deal with. By Gary Griffith<br />

Senior, Kayleigh Hutson was awarded<br />
the Philip and Katherine Bail Personal<br />
Achievement Scholarship.<br />
Kayleigh said, “When I heard that I had been<br />
awarded this scholarship, I felt as if a weight had<br />
been lifted off of my shoulders. My two younger<br />
brothers and I have always attended Catholic<br />
school and it’s been a struggle to pay for it.<br />
Knowing that my tuition was being covered in full<br />
made me extremely grateful to the Bails because<br />
I felt that I could now get a first rate education<br />
without worrying about how to afford it.”<br />

thank you note, “I am truly thankful for this award.<br />
At the beginning of the process of choosing my high<br />
school, <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> was almost out of the<br />
question. Thanks to the scholarship from the class<br />
of 1971, I am attending <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
and I thoroughly enjoy it.<br />
Joseph Davis received the Thomas Eckrich<br />

sure I do well in my high school education.”<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
is the recipient of a donation made by the Angela and Dick<br />

sent all three of their daughters to <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> in the late 60s and early 70s. Dick believes in the<br />
value of raising his family in the Catholic faith. To him<br />
prayer and faith are very important and he stated that<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is a great school with a great<br />
staff. The generous donation made by the Angela and Dick<br />
Weber Charitable Foundation Fund will go towards<br />
technology upgrades in five classrooms. Karen Marciano -<br />

It means such a great deal because having the<br />
best education possible is so important to me<br />
and this scholarship will help me achieve this<br />
goal. Now being into the third month at <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
<strong>Luers</strong>, I have met so many new people. I love<br />
every minute of my time at <strong>Luers</strong> alongside my<br />
wonderful teachers and peers. I am currently<br />
involved in Minstrels Show Choir and it is an<br />
absolutely wonderful experience. I am truly<br />
looking forward to the next four years at<br />

to my full, academic potential every day while<br />
still having fun and growing deeper in my faith.<br />
Again I am grateful for the support in helping<br />
me to fulfill this great education.”<br />

ability to see different views of areas being studied. They<br />
will be able to use more project-based learning skills in all<br />
subject areas. When asked the question about what she<br />
would like to say about her new classroom upgrades, she<br />
said, “We are very appreciative of any help we are<br />
given. While we work hard to prepare our students for life,<br />
it is much easier with the help of our generous donors.”<br />

various classes and activities throughout the day.
<strong>Luers</strong>Knight is a Dinner/Auction held in April in the<br />

raised at <strong>Luers</strong>Knight is used for tuition assistance and<br />
operating costs for the entire school. The cost to educate<br />
one child at <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> is $7023. A registered active<br />

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT LUERS!<br />
Campus Ministry by Sue Mathias<br />
Welcome….FATHER BEN MUHLENKAMP<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> Kevin C. Rhoades has appointed Father Ben as<br />
Chaplain for <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
BISHOP LUERS STAFF RETREAT:<br />
The faculty and staff of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> began the<br />
new school year with a retreat in earlier August. <strong>Bishop</strong> John<br />
M. D’Arcy presented the retreat in the context of daily prayer.<br />
After proclaiming the gospel of John, chapter 21:15-19, <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
asked those gathered the same question Jesus asked Simon<br />
Peter, “Do you love me?” <strong>Bishop</strong> D’Arcy reminded us that our<br />
ministry as teachers and staff here at <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> is our<br />
response to Jesus question, “Do you love me?” Catholic school<br />
faculty and staff members are a constant testimony that Jesus<br />
lives. The mission of a Catholic school is to evangelize,<br />
catechize, and educate students in Christ, nurturing loving<br />
service to God and neighbor. <strong>Bishop</strong> D’Arcy mentioned several<br />
young Olympic competitors who recently gave witness to their<br />
experience of being Catholic school students and how that is<br />
impacting their lives. Without doubt, ministering in a Catholic<br />
school is a vocation, rather than an occupation. The retreat<br />
continued with Benediction. Father Ben Muhlenkamp, and<br />
Father Larry Kramer joined <strong>Bishop</strong> D’Arcy to provide<br />
opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation before the<br />
final prayers and blessing. Thank you to our three wonderful<br />
priest chaplains for making this retreat possible as we began<br />
our new school year!<br />
OPENING ALL-SCHOOL MASS & BLESSING OF STAFF<br />
AND STUDENTS As is our tradition, we began the school year<br />
with all-school Mass on Friday, September 7, <strong>2012</strong>. Priest<br />
chaplain, Rev. Ben Muhlenkamp was our Presider. At the end<br />
of Mass, Father Muhlenkamp blessed the students and staff for<br />
the new school year. After all-school Masses, alumni,<br />
grandparents and parents are welcome to join us for coffee in<br />
the concession stand area.<br />

local schools, tutored in the after-school program, and<br />
participated in the nightly News Hour program with the<br />
teenage Ghanaian scholars.<br />

Future Business Leaders of America<br />
by Katie Yagodinski<br />
The <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
<strong>Luers</strong> Chapter<br />
of the Future<br />
Business<br />
Leaders of<br />
America had<br />
the privilege<br />
Friday,<br />
November 2, <strong>2012</strong>, to attend the FBLA National Fall<br />
Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. This<br />
conference was BLHS FBLA’s first time at one of the National<br />
Fall Leadership Conferences. This conference was full of<br />
seminars, group activities, fundraising ideas, scholarship<br />
opportunities, learning and understanding failure and learning<br />
to be a great and outstanding leader. A leader must be there<br />
for his/her group or club and must be able to listen and<br />
understand, accept failure and to be able to do what is<br />
necessary and beneficial to the group. “We had a lot of fun<br />
and learned many interesting things,” Katie Yagodinski said<br />
enthusiastically. As pictured above, Julia Hayes, Nathan<br />
Grabner, Sam Stein, and Katie Yagodinski, were chosen to<br />
attend this conference along with advisor Mr. Matt Lazzaro.<br />

<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is proud to begin the school<br />
year with 10 international students, with 2 more coming to us<br />
for second semester. We have always been open to<br />
accepting students from other countries to study in the United<br />
States with us. Our staff and students find great value in the<br />
cultural experiences these students share about their<br />
countries and their way of life. They bring yet another added<br />
dimension to our diverse student body; every year we learn<br />
new ways of looking at the world because of them!<br />
With us this year are the following students: Johnson<br />
Zhai from Germany, Yujie “Jason” Wan from China, Hanna<br />
Luise Schmid from Germany, Yezhi Gong from China, Xuerui<br />
“Shirley” Hu from China, Tung Nguyen from Vietnam, Tranh<br />
Hong “Krisley” Nguyen from Vietnam, Joao Pedro de Freitas<br />
Lobo Vianna from Brazil, Linh Pham from Vietnam and<br />
Carolin Hasse from Germany. In January for our 2 nd<br />
semester, we will be welcoming two students from Ghana,<br />
West Africa – Benjamin Haruna and Emmanuel Adu. We are<br />
excited about the cultural enrichment these students bring to<br />
our <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> community. We learn so much from them,<br />
and they learn from us.<br />

……..”I think we can all agree that “To Kill a Mockingbird” is<br />
one of the most iconic books in the history of literature.<br />
The reason why “To Kill a Mockingbird” is such a treasured<br />
American classic is because the lesson that it teaches is still<br />
being taught today. The truth is that all men are not created<br />
equal. We all have our gifts and our talents. Some are rich and<br />
some are poor; some are black and some are white; some<br />
have opportunities in life handed to them from birth and some<br />
have to work hard to get where they want to be”…. This<br />
excerpt is from the essay “Changed by a mockingbird” written<br />
by <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> junior, Anna Stachofsky. To read the entire<br />
essay, visit our website www.bishopluers.org<br />
“A Knight’s Prayer” by Haley Brooks,<br />
sophomore at <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong><br />
When I find myself down and out,<br />
And ready to scream and shout,<br />
There is no denying an animal of fear inside of me is ready<br />
to unleash.<br />
I turn to Christ who strengthens me.<br />
Once I know I can no longer stand,<br />
And feel my worn-out faith ready to disband,<br />
I crash to my battered and bruised knees.<br />
I turn to Christ who strengthens me.<br />
As soon as times get tough,<br />
And my shattered heart has had enough,<br />
Tears flood from my deep brown eyes like a never-ending<br />
leak.<br />
I turn to Christ who strengthens me.<br />
I feel the pounding in my aching head,<br />
As I state the powerful and comforting words in red.<br />
I pray the Lord my wearied soul to keep.<br />
I turn to Christ who strengthens me.<br />
When I feel there is no way through my strife,<br />
I look to the way, the truth, and the life.<br />
All will come out all right if I just believe.<br />
I turn to Christ who strengthens me.<br />

Justice<br />
As my callused hands grasp my cool rosary beads,<br />
I rise from my battered and bruised knees.<br />
I pick up the cross that I shall bear, and the grace of the<br />
Lord helps me to my burdened feet.<br />
I turn to Christ who strengthens me.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> marked quite a turnaround and very successful<br />
season for the <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> boys tennis team. The<br />
Varsity Knights finished with an overall record of 11-4, with<br />
a 4-3 showing in the SAC and second straight appearance<br />
in the Section finals, eventually falling to Canterbury.<br />
The boys JV team had another great year, finishing with a<br />
10-2-1 record this Fall.<br />
Sophomore Isaiah Klotz had a strong season in #1<br />
singles play, earning him a spot on the <strong>2012</strong> All-SAC 1 st<br />

Scheer and Collin Hire, who end their 4-year run with the<br />
team, as does Canyon Zwick. Senior David Shank, who<br />
totaled 3 years with the team, returned to play tennis his<br />
last season. The future looks bright for <strong>Luers</strong> boys tennis,<br />
as there were 19 boys that played on the team this year,<br />
with 15 returning next season. The Knights are coached<br />
by 2 nd year head coach Joel Pyle, and assistant coach<br />
Chris Scheer.
Dear Friends of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong>,<br />
The Ties That Bind Us<br />
When asked to write a short piece for this newsletter thanking<br />
all the <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> alumni for their generous support of the<br />
<strong>2012</strong> Annual Fund, I was at a loss for words. "Always thank<br />
people for their gifts seven times," I recall from my<br />
philanthropy training days. So, I am writing to say “thank<br />
you.”<br />
I put off writing this piece because I got "busy" with life's<br />
chores and flow of events.<br />
* I became reacquainted with old friends, now also retired,<br />
who enjoyed the game of Mah Jongg -- also <strong>Luers</strong> grads...<br />
* I found a new dental hygienist and dentist -- both <strong>Luers</strong><br />
grads...<br />
* I joined a bible study class at church -- and found more<br />
<strong>Luers</strong> grads...<br />
*The neighbor’s children found our door asking for support for<br />
Walkathon or various sport team sales and we learned how<br />
many neighbors were <strong>Luers</strong> grads...<br />
* A grade school/<strong>Luers</strong> grad friend, who had moved away 40<br />
plus years ago came to visit and so we gathered together a<br />
few more <strong>Luers</strong> grads to have a mini reunion...<br />
* We found fellow <strong>Luers</strong> grads on facebook and when travel<br />
took us where the conductivity for <strong>Luers</strong> Live on Friday night<br />
was absent, the FB friends kept us posted on the score...<br />
I mention these instances merely to demonstrate that <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
<strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> provided us with the "ties that bind us" and<br />
the gift of firendships. That commonality was woven<br />
throughout our discussions, gatherings, and interests.<br />
For those of you reading this from afar, let me assure you<br />
your alma mater is alive and doing well. It is what this former<br />
urban planner would call "an anchor institution" on the south<br />

side of Fort Wayne. You can<br />
still hear a pin drop if you are in<br />
the halls during class times.<br />
You still feel pride when a<br />
current student, sporting "the<br />
shirt" proclaiming "We are the<br />
light of the world" holds the<br />
door for you at the grocery<br />
store.<br />
The financial need, however, is<br />
great to keep our high school<br />
alma mater academically<br />
proficient in educating the<br />
student of today. The cost of<br />
technology upgrades alone is a<br />
constant financial challenge.<br />
As a fairly recent addition to the<br />
alumni committee, I can share<br />
how amazed I am to see the<br />
strong commitment to <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> from students, faculty,<br />
and especially from parents sacrificing to send their children<br />
to a Catholic school -- many of whom are NOT <strong>Luers</strong> grads!<br />
Again I say thank you to all of your alumni and friends who<br />
share your time, talent, and financial resources with <strong>Bishop</strong><br />
<strong>Luers</strong>.<br />
I know we can do so much more. If you have never given<br />
before, and I know these are challenging times, would you<br />
consider a small gift to your high school alma mater?<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> provided us with the ties that bind us together,<br />
let us use them for the good of the school today. Your<br />
investment will pay great dividends. Thank you.<br />

or e-mail our development staff and ask for the booklet<br />
entitled "Our special needs" which lists capital improvement<br />
needs of our aging school. Thank you.<br />
On behalf of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, please know how grateful we are for your continued support through your generous<br />
gifts of time, talent and treasure. Because of your kindness and faith in <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong>, students have the opportunity to<br />
receive the Catholic education they desire, students have improved technology and equipment in their classrooms, and<br />
students have continued to learn the importance of service and sharing of their faith.<br />
Congratulations to the class of 1976 for once again leading the Annual Fund giving for the fourth year in a row!<br />
This year our goal for the 2013 Annual Fund is to raise $62,000 and to increase our donor participation. The 2013 Annual<br />
Fund brochures will be mailed in December. If we have the same address for alumni from the same family, the household<br />
may receive more than one copy of the brochure. We are asking all alumni to consider a donation to the Annual Fund. If<br />
you are the head of a household who has received multiple brochures, please forward the brochure to the alumni for whom it<br />
was intended. The Alumni Department is constantly updating addresses. If you have updated alumni addresses, you can<br />
contact the Alumni Department at 260-456-1261 ext. 3040 or email Melissa Hire at mhire@bishopluers.org.<br />
Again, on behalf of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, the students, and the families we serve, thank you so very much.<br />

The gift of a scholarship to a student and his/her family can make all the difference in the world. Some students would not be able<br />
to attend <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Luers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> without need-based tuition assistance or scholarships. If you are interested in establishing a<br />
scholarship for <strong>Luers</strong> students, you can do so in honor of a family member, your company, your graduating class, or as a<br />
memorial, etc. Please contact the Development Office at 260-456-1261.<br />

TUITION ASSISTANCE<br />
These donations are made through the <strong>Luers</strong>Knight <strong>Bishop</strong>’s Auction and Adopt-A-Knight. Adopt-A-Knight donations are<br />
needed throughout the school year and can be made at anytime. In the 2011-<strong>2012</strong> school year 66% of our families received<br />

need. Investing in the young men and women of today is investing in the future.<br />
