Mothers’ Club
BISHOP MIEGE FOUNDATION DINNER
The Mothers’ Club lends its support to Bishop
Miege and its students through several
activities and events. The Mothers’ Club fosters
involvement between mothers and the programs
at Miege. It is a social organization that promotes
Miege students and families and supports Miege’s
various education and fundraising programs.
Additionally, the Mothers’ Club provides a
means of parent communication with the school
administration.
Among the highlights of the Bishop Miege
Foundation Dinner on Dec. 4 was the
presentation of the Herbert Rome Stewardship
Award. The 2010 recipients were Don and Patty
’70 Kincaid, who were introduced by Foundation
Board Chairman Larry Gates and recognized for
their exceptional support of Bishop Miege High
School, including procurement and donation of
the North Campus in 2008, and construction of
the new Kincaid Media Center in 2005.
Miege Activities Booster Club
ALUMNA OF THE YEAR:
PaTRice Maloney ’84
The purpose of the Miege Activities Booster
Club is to support student activities at Miege
(both athletic and non-athletic). Specifically
their goals are to:
• Coordinate and support all parent activities
• Provide a forum to bring ideas for new parent
involvement or activities
• Be a sounding board for the school
• Facilitate more parent involvement
In addition to the above goals, the MABC sponsors
and supports a wide range of activities. They meet
throughout the school year to plan and organize
student and parent activities to promote Bishop
Miege High School. Some of their projects include
the Safe Home program, student mixers, parent
socials and the welcome picnic.
The Bishop Miege Alumni of the Year Award
is presented to a graduate who has given his or
her time, talents and loyalty to enhance Bishop
Miege and its traditions
Patrice is one of six children of Herb and Rita
Rome to attend Bishop Miege, and has had three
children of her own attend Miege (Jimmy ’06,
Kaitlyn ’08 and Morgan’13). She has spent 19
years teaching in Catholic Schools, including
the last 14 years at St. Agnes, where she teaches
Pre-Kindergarten.
Patrice is an active member of the Miege
community in many different ways, having served
as a member of Bishop Miege Activities Booster
Club and the Bishop Miege Board of Trustees.
She has been a frequent Miege volunteer at Miege
events even during years when her children were
not Miege students. She is also a supporter of
the Bishop Miege Annual Fund, Because Miege
Matters campaign, The Future of Miege Athletics
campaign and the Bishop Miege auction.

Miege Open Plays Doubles
Bishop Miege hosted two Miege Open Tournaments within the 20102011 fiscal year, producing double success in 2011.
Friday, October 1, 2010 was selected for the 31st Annual Miege Open.
Alumni and Miege supporters gathered for lunch, golf, gifts and
a silent auction at Leawood South Country Club on a very warm
Homecoming Day. The effort raised over $29,000 for the Bob Frazier
Scholarship Fund.
The 32nd Annual Miege Open Golf Tournament was moved to
Monday, June 27, 2011 at Leawood South Country Club in order to
take advantage of some club amenities. Alumni, generous corporate
sponsors and friends of Miege enjoyed a picture perfect day as they
played, had a barbeque lunch and bid on numerous auction items. Bob
Frazier, Chairman of the Miege Open, is pleased to announce that the
summer tournament brought in over $24,000.
Over the years, the Miege Open has raised more than $295,000,
providing needy students vital financial assistance in order to attend
Bishop Miege and receive a quality Catholic education.
STAG STRUT
The 22nd Annual Stag Strut took place on Sept. 24th at Dixon Doll Stadium, and
the students once again surpassed their $50,000 goal by raising $59,396.98. In the
last 22 years the students have raised more than $1,077,375 for the school.

Danny Morris 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament
The 16th Annual Danny Morris 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament was played on July
31, 2010.
The tournament began in 1995 in honor of Danny Morris, Alumni ’92, who
died tragically in a car accident in 1993. In 2010 we had 82 sponsors and 28 teams
participate in three divisions. The tournament raised $15,587.75 for scholarships.
This brings the total raised to more than $216,000.
In 2011, the Morris family announced that it had decided to end the 3-on-3
tournament and thanked supporters.
The family wrote:
After 17 years we have decided to end the Danny Morris/Bishop
Miege 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. It was a great run and there
were many, many special moments over the years.
We, Danny’s family and Bishop Miege High School, are most
grateful and humbled by the kindness and generosity of so many
people in support of this tournament.
The tournament raised $232,000 in scholarship money for Miege
students.
We believe Bishop Miege High School is a special place and will
continue to support their mission to Catholic Education.
Thank you again for your generous support over the past 17 years.
May God bless you and yours,
The Morris Family

38th Annual Auction
SPRING FLING
A flower- filled gym, tables laden with hundreds of gift displays and
a sumptuous array of foods whetted any appetite as more than 600
alumni, parents, staff and friends socialized, shopped and dined at the
38th Annual Auction on April 30, 2011. Amid a splash of spring colors,
talented auctioneers enticed bidders to be winners and raise funds for
the students at Bishop Miege.
Alumna and current parent Chris Jordan, ’83, was the happy
winner of the 2011 Nissan Juke from State Line Nissan and Don and
Patty Kincaid.
For nearly 40 years, the Auction has been Miege’s premier
fundraiser. The 2011 event was no different, bringing in over $200,000
through grand live and silent auctions, drawings and the newest
promotion, a dessert auction featuring divinely beautiful edible
creations.
Fund-a-Need raised an additional $80,000 in scholarship funds for
students facing economic difficulties.

Because tuition does not cover the
cost of educating our students, each
year the Annual Fund provides money
to meet our day-to-day expenses. The
Annual Fund consists of three phases:
The mailing in the fall, the Phonathon
in January and February for those
who did not respond to the letter,
and a final request in the spring. The
Annual Fund is the largest fundraising
project of the year. It raised more than
$168,912.57 for the 2010-2011 year.
Thanks to the Miege community and
to the following alumni, listed by class,
for their contributions.

Bishop Miege’s Spring Break mission trips sent more
than 160 students, adults and chaperones in four
different directions to serve others.
In West Virginia, the students built decks for
families, added ramps for the disabled, painted and
installed siding on homes and built picnic tables for
an Elementary School, among other projects.
In Kansas City, the students worked at St. James
Food Pantry, visited several homeless shelters and
spent hours tutoring students at the Upper Room.
Thirty students traveled to Cincinnati, Arkansas, to
provide cleanup of debris on five farms in the area.
This year included a new site, New York City. Each
day groups worked in different boroughs serving at a
variety of sites.

PRESERVE the PAST
PROVIDE for the FUTURE
One of the hallmarks of Bishop Miege High School is the tremendous
support received from our alumni, parents and friends. This show of
generosity has provided $25 million in capital improvements over the
past decade. The total renovation of our educational facility and our
athletic facilities will serve students for years to come.
Currently, we are faced with the challenge of an unstable economy
and the rising number of families who seek a quality faith-filled education for their son/daughter, but do not have the necessary resources
to provide one. To insure the growth and a secure future, we look to
other means of support for the school, thus, the Bishop Miege Legacy
Society/Endowment Fund.
What is PLANNED GIVING?
A “planned gift” can be one you give immediately, such as stocks,
property or other assets. Or, it can be one you give later, through a
bequest in your Will or a Trust. Making a “planned gift” can be extremely easy. For example, you can add “Bishop Miege High School,
Shawnee Mission, KS” as a partial or total beneficiary of your life
insurance, IRA, pension account or other investment account.
A “planned gift” provides future support to Bishop Miege and offers you
the opportunity to extend your legacy of faith beyond your own lifetime.
“Planned Giving” necessitates some advanced planning to properly
transfer assets. This type of giving typically involves deferred gifts
to the school. Thank you for your consideration.

chose to invest money collected from their classmates along with
donations from the Student Council to provide scholarships for future
students. The senior classes since then have continued donating to the
scholarship fund.

On Jan. 24, the 38th anniversary of the legalization
of abortion, more than 50 students, alumni, teachers
and parents from Bishop Miege headed to Washington
DC to fight for the unborn. The trip was filled with site
seeing and Liturgies to pray for an end to abortion.
Bishop Miege students have teamed with Gordon
Parks Elementary School in a mentoring program
called S.M.I.L.E. “Students Mentoring to Inspire
Leadership and Effort” was a grassroots effort by
Miege students to get into the classroom and talk to
the kids. Miege students talk about safety, teamwork,
achievement, respect and service. As an end-of-theyear suprise, the Miege S.M.I.L.E. team provided
an ice cream truck for field day. A great end to a
wonderful year of working together.

Bishop Miege High School became an impromptu
gathering place for food and other relief supplies for
the citizens of Joplin, MO, following the devastation
of a May 22 tornado.The effort began with the help of
the family of Miege alum Colin Baxter, who currently
plays baseball at Missouri Southern in Joplin.
In August, 80 Miege students traveled to Joplin on a
tornado relief mission trip. The students cleared fields
of insulation and other debris that would be dangerous
to animals. A group of Miege students helped ready
a tornado-damaged home for the return of its owner,
who had been deployed overseas.

Luke Wheeler was one of
six students in all of Kansas
selected as a new member of
the Kansas State High School
Activities Association Student
Advisory Team. Six juniors
– one from each of the six
classes of Kansas schools
– are selected for a term of
two years. Luke was chosen
to represent Class 5A based on a number of factors,
including a written essay. The role of the Student Advisory Team will be to receive information and provide
input to the Executive Board and Board of Directors
regarding KSHSAA issues. The team will also serve as
a sounding board on proposals affecting students.
The Miege History Club was featured in a book,
Elmwood Cemetery, and recognized at a book launch
ceremony at Kansas City Public Library in October.
The club representatives were commended for
its work in adopting one of the children’s sections
at Elmwood Cemetery. Every fourth Sunday, the
students clean the site. In addition, they raise funds
to place markers on previously unmarked graves.
History Club members were welcomed at a reception for 400 guests, hosted by R. Crosby Kemper III.
Author Bruce Mathews is shown at right with Matt
Caffey and club president Alex Murfey.

2010 marked the third year in a row and a remarkable 20th time in school history that Bishop Miege
captured the state volleyball championship.
The Stags dominated rival Saint Thomas Aquinas in

title overall, it was the 17th for head coach Gwenn
Pike. The Stags also captured the Eastern Kansas
League title during the regular season.
Anna Church captured the
5A state championship in
the 800m run with a time
of 2:20.08.
