The crisp fall air is upon us and at
Berks Catholic and we have just completed
another successful Extravaganza 2014 “ The
Era of Extravagance”.
At Extravaganza
2014 we were so grateful to be able to honor
long time supporters of Catholic Education,
John and Maryanne Post and Sophie McDevitt. I would like to thank our chairs Bill & Betsy Finneran,
Rich & Lynnie Gregor, Terry & Rhonda Hanley, Mike &
Kim Kolakowski and Chris Mancuso for all their efforts
along with all of the volunteers, BC staff members and the
entire community to help make this year’s event a great success.
I am also very excited about our recent partnership
with the Junior Reading Symphony Orchestra which will
enhance the instrumental opportunities for our students and
bring master classes to our Saints in the Spring. I am also
very excited about the Shakespeare Will Power tour that is
coming to visit on Oct. 22, to perform “Much Ado About
Nothing” and provide theater workshops. On Oct. 16, Project Impact traveled to Ground Zero and a nearby church and
offered Pope Benedict’s prayer when he visited the same
sight.
On October 15 we continued the tradition of an all
inclusive senior retreat that included breakfast at Shady Maples, and a trip to the Sight and Sound Theater to see the
production of Moses. Our sophomores and juniors took the
PSATS on that same day and we are anxious to get the results to see who our future National Merit Scholars might be.
Our Fall sports are off to a great start and we look forward to
them competing for league, county, district, and state championships. Congratulations to our 2014 Homecoming King
and Queen Ed Suriel & De’Jinar Green as wells as our newest members of the Hall of Fame. October 17 we will have
our Ring Mass for Juniors and Oct. 24 will be our yearly Big
Tailgate. October ends with Spirit Week filled with Theme
Days, Mass, and BC Biggest Fan Day. November includes
All Saints Day Mass at 9:00 am in the Franco Post Auditorium, Back Yard Brawl and Breakfast at Mancuso’s, fall
Kairos, and the fall play on November 21/22 “Three Instances of Intrigue”.
Our four pillars at Berks Catholic guide all that we
do and as you can see October and November are certainly
filled with God, Family, Academics, and Fun. God Bless you
and your family. Go Saints!
Sincerely,
Tony Balistrere
Principal
2014 Extravaganza Honorees
FromtheChaplain
Last week, in the midst of a very
exciting Extravaganza, someone stopped
me and said, “There is a great forward
momentum here.” I responded, “Yes
Bishop Barres, I agree.” Our bishop’s
observation rings true in so many ways as
our fourth year is well underway. I am
personally grateful that the emotional appeal at this year’s
Extravaganza was dedicated to the 21st century digital
upgrades in the Franco-Post Auditorium. This is the space
we use for the celebration of Holy Mass and the appropriate use of multimedia in communicating the Gospel in
creative ways will help all of us to walk together as 21st
century disciples. This technology, in addition to enhancing the learning environment at Berks Catholic, will help
us proclaim the authentic Truth of our faith in an innovative manner. While student participation at Mass has increased so has attendance at the daily Masses in the
school chapel, dedicated to Our Lady, Queen of All
Saints.
This year also brings a focused effort for promoting vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. Last
week several of our students were invited to visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark New Jersey to attend
services remembering Father Benedict Groeschel CFR,
founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. There
they met several young friars, sisters and dedicated young
men and women of faith, as we were all inspired by the
life of one of America’s greatest priests and servants of
the poor.
In the spiritual life of Berks Catholic we are looking forward to honoring the Class of 2016 at Ring Mass as
well as the Celebration of All Saints Day on November
1st. This special day will begin with the celebration of the
school’s Feast Day Mass at 9:00a.m. in the Auditorium.
All members of the BC family are invited to attend before
the important events later that day.
This Advent we will honor the Blessed Virgin
Mary on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with a
special Holy Day Mass and we will gather again for
prayers, readings and songs in English and Spanish on the
Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the
Americas.
As we look forward to the great things to come in
preparing to celebrate the Birth of Christ please mark you
calendar for the annual celebration “Advent Vespers” at
Sacred Heart Church in West Reading on Sunday December 14 at 4:00p.m. This service, revised for the first time
in many years, takes us in prayer, Scripture and song to
Bethlehem to remember newborn on of God as we recall
the great events of our salvation. My thanks and gratitude
to everyone who has made this year a great success as we
look forward to walking with our Saints and so many
great things yet to come.
In Christ,
Father Ritz

SOME HELPFUL HINTS and POINTERS –
For All Grades
FROM COLLEGE COUNSELING
COLLEGE ESSAYS: Mediocre or WOW?!
From the Article and You Tube series: How To Improve Your Mediocre College Essay in 30 Minutes by
Ethan Sawyer
A mediocre extracurricular essay has a "so what"
that sounds something like this:
Being on the tennis team taught me many important
lessons such as teamwork, leadership and working hard
in whatever I do. I believe tennis has also helped me in
my school-work since I have achieved straight A’s in
the past two quarters and haven’t given up in school
either.
Why I think the story is not so good: It’s not really a
story. It’s a reflection, which I think is best discussed in
the conclusion.
Why I think the “so what” is not so good:
1. Because it repeats what’s already been said.
2. Because the “insight” isn’t much of an insight. We
could have guessed that those are the things you
learned from tennis. Why? Because those are things
everyone learns from tennis.
A better extracurricular essay has a story that
sounds something like this:
“WHAM!” The ball hit me straight in the nose. I looked
down on the court and saw blood. Lots of it.
“Do you need a minute?” the umpire asked me.
“No, I’m okay,” I said, pinching my nose and wiping
the blood on my shorts. “Play on.”
“You sure?” he asked.
“I’m sure,” I said. “Let’s do this.”
“Match point,” he announced to the crowd. My opponent tossed the ball up in the air to serve.
Mistakes To Avoid:
From the article 8 Mistakes Parents Make When They
Help Kids Apply To College By Ann Brenoff and
Lynn O’Shaughnessy
FromtheAssistantPrincipalof
Athletics&Discipline
Mistake 1- Ignoring Schools You Never Heard Of:
If you limit your search to the same 200 schools where
everyone else is also applying, you are shortchanging
your student… … But don’t those big, brand-name
schools mean a happier college experience and a higher
jobs placement rate after graduation? Au contraire….
It turns out that your future happiness at work and at
home has more to do with what you do at college than
where you went to school, according to a recent poll by
Gallup and Purdue University. College is what you
make of it…..
or as BC College Counseling might
say…. It’s All About the Fit!
More helpful hints to come ….
Hall of Fame Night
A great place to start the college / career exploration
process is at the PACAC College Fair at Albright on
Monday, October 27, which is listed on the
file. More details about the fair will be sent as the

MORP – 2014
Due to loss of funding to the Department of Health,
Berks Catholic will NOT be giving flu shots to students or staff this year. I will post any free flu clinics
on the BC website as I get the information. If opportunity becomes available to offer vaccines at school I will
also make that information available.
You and your child should still, get a flu shot. Call
your doctor or clinic. No matter what you are told:
You can NOT catch the flu from a flu shot!
 The flu is contagious from the day before symptoms start until 5-10 days after symptoms start.
 It takes 1-2 weeks for the flu shot to work.
Maintain a healthy diet, exercise and sleep pattern.
If you have flu symptoms, call your doctor. Your

News from the Art Department
To start off the year students in Mrs. Burt’s Art
2 class learned the importance of collaboration and how
we as individuals artists can come together and create a
singular piece of art through a non-objective mural that
was meant to bring some life and color to the hall outside of the art room.
The mural started in Art 2 as a long blank piece
of black paper. The students were asked to stand in
front of the paper and were given only red yellow and
blue paint. They were told to start a free form painting
and that they could only use circles or radiating designs. If they wanted to utilize other colors other than
what they were given they were to mix their colors directly on the paper. And as a song played, all the students worked intently on their area. Just as students
were getting comfortable with the process and their
designs, the song ended the students were directed to
move one space to the left, and pick up where their
classmate left off, and this continued throughout the
duration of the class. We did this for two days and
watched how colors and designs overlapped over each
other. Students were told to try to fill in all of the areas,
white paint was also added into the mix on the second
day. After three days of in class painting we all agreed
that we were complete and our collaborative mural was
a huge success.
Mrs. Burt’s Art Awareness class also got a
taste of collaborative artwork through their first art project. After learning about Renaissance art and how
through the use of symbols and colors artists' incorporated a lot of themselves into their pieces, we looked at
one of the most famous Renaissance art pieces, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo. We took the
idea of symbolism and how each individual aspect of
the Sistine Chapel ceiling came together as a whole,
and created our own small version of a ceiling painting.
Students were told to come up with 10 symbols that
represent themselves. They were then assigned a partner and as a duo they were to discuss their symbols and
come up with a common symbol that would be the joining part of their designs. Students need to work very
closely with their adjoining partner, but also needed to
collaborate their design (colors, lines, shapes, etc.) with
the people who were assigned to be above and below
them on the ceiling. The finished project took up 12
ceiling tiles of the ceiling directly outside the art room.
As a Department a goal for this year would be
to bring more collaboration between all the art students
and the different art classes. A family atmosphere is
created in the art room and projects like these are great
ways for us all to explore the talents of everyone and
get a better sense of community.
NHS Food Drive
Berks Catholic is again
teaming up with the Greater Berks
Food Bank and the Notre Dame
Club of Reading in the 2nd Annual Bread of Life Food
Drive. We are asking all interested students to bring 2 nonperishable items to school Monday, October 20 thru Friday,
October 24 in exchange for
a dress down day. The types of items we will be collecting include:
 Non-perishable food items such as cereals,
peanut butter, grains, dry milk, pasta,
beans, fruit juices, and canned goods (tuna
fish, soups and stews, fruits, vegetables)
 Baby items such as baby shampoo, baby
wipes, diapers, and baby lotion
 Personal hygiene items such as shampoo,
soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes
The Greater Berks Food Bank is a local charity
and member of Feeding America that collects, stores,
and distributes food to more than 280 charitable agencies (including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters,
after school programs, and senior housing facilities) in
Berks, Schuylkill, and Montgomery Counties. It distributes more than 6 million pounds of food annually to
these programs, which in turn distribute the good to
local residents in need. Thank you for your participation and help to those in need. We look forward to a
successful event!
