Theology Students Explore Abraham’s Journey Through Scripture Scavenger Hunt Theology students recently took their learning beyond the classroom with a Scripture Scavenger Hunt around campus focused on the life of Abraham in the Book of Genesis. As part of their study, students searched for and read different Scripture passages that highlighted key moments from Abraham’s life. Through these passages, they learned more about Abraham’s story of trust in God’s promises and his important role in salvation history. The scavenger hunt was designed to help students connect more deeply with Abraham’s journey. In Genesis 12, Abraham was called by God to leave his home and travel to a new land he did not know. By moving around campus to discover each Scripture passage, students were able to experience a small reflection of that journey of faith and trust.  This interactive activity gave students the opportunity to engage with Scripture in a meaningful and memorable way. As they followed Abraham’s story, they reflected on what it means to listen to God, trust His promises, and step forward in faith even when the destination is unknown.

The Class of 2027 Has a Nice RING to it!💍 On Thursday, August 20, the seniors attended their Ring Mass at Divine Mercy Church in Kenner, Louisiana. Ring Mass is a cherished tradition marking a huge moment in their Chapelle journey. Before Mass began, members of the Class of 2027 presented their class symbols: Senior Class Flower - Sierra Corales Senior Motto - Marcella Casanova Senior Colors - Emma Flynn Chapelle Diploma - Gabrielle Bush Chapelle Alma Mater - Molly Tusa 2027 Class Unity Candle Votive - Lyla Pelle Chapelle Senior Ring - Alivia Nevels Senior Sweater - Cassie Nguyen Bible - Allyson Dardar Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Emily LeBlanc Senior Class Rings - Alyssa Canfill, Gia Chester, Madison Pansano, Ja'Layah Small, and Allisson Suazo Caballero After Mass concluded, the Class of 2027's official Ring Ceremony began. During this special ceremony, the students received their senior rings, some of which were worn by their mothers, sisters, grandmothers, and other important Chipmunks in their lives. Other seniors are starting their own legacy which holds so much excitement in itself! Mrs. Connie Dantagnan '88 (Chapelle's Head of School), Shannon Impastato '96 (Chapelle's Alumnae Director) and Senior Class President, Mia Impastato, presented the Class of 2027 Votive to the Chapelle Unity Candle. The Class of 2027 is the 62nd graduating class of Archbishop Chapelle High School. All 62 classes are united to our current students through our charism of Deus Providebit, through our school traditions, and through our mission of excellence in spiritual, academic, and social formation. The Unity Candle symbolizes the over 14,000 women who have graduated from Chapelle. Join us in congratulating this amazing class! There are so many more sweet moments to come this year, and we are praying for them every step of the way!

AP Psychology Students Build Candy Neurons to Learn About Neural Communication Ms. LaCour’s AP Psychology students recently brought neuroscience to life through a hands-on candy neuron activity designed to help them better understand the structure and function of a neuron. As part of their study of the neuron and neural impulse, students created physical models of neurons using candy. The activity gave students the opportunity to build and manipulate their own models while learning the different parts of the neuron and the role each part plays in communication within the nervous system. Rather than simply reviewing the information from slides, students were able to engage with the material in a creative and interactive way. By placing their candy neurons next to one another, they could better visualize how neurons connect and communicate with each other. After building their neurons, students added Skittles to represent ions inside and outside the neuron. Using the candy pieces, they created models of both a resting neuron and a firing neuron. This helped students see how the movement of ions across the cell membrane creates an action potential. By building and manipulating their candy models, students were able to better understand how a neuron is structured, how it communicates, and what happens when it fires. The activity made a complex topic more visual, memorable, and engaging for AP Psychology students.  Great work, AP Psychology!

60 YEARS OF THE CHAPELLETTES ❤️ On August 22, we celebrated with 160 Chapellette alumnae and friends of the program. It was a beautiful evening filled with friendship, memories, and gratitude as we honored all that the Chapellette program has meant to generations of Chipmunks, both past and present.

World Geography Students Create Scaled Maps of Chapelle Archbishop Chapelle High School World Geography students recently brought their map skills to life through a hands-on classroom activity. Working in groups, students used tape measures to measure assigned areas of the school building. After collecting their measurements, each group sketched their section on paper to create a scaled “map” of their area.  This activity allowed students to apply geography concepts in a real-world setting while practicing collaboration, measurement, spatial awareness, and map-making skills. By using familiar spaces around campus, students were able to better understand how maps are created and how scale helps represent real locations.
