Students recently took part in an engaging, hands-on simulation to better understand the process of redistricting. The class was divided into “parties” and assigned the colors red or blue. Each group was tasked with creating five districts with equal populations, modeling how a hypothetical state might be divided. To bring the activity to life, students physically grouped classmates together and taped them into their designated “districts.” After forming fair and equal districts, each party was given the opportunity to redraw the lines in a way that could benefit their side. This portion of the activity introduced the concept of gerrymandering and sparked thoughtful discussion about fairness, representation, and the impact of district boundaries. By physically stepping into the process, students gained a deeper understanding of how redistricting works and why it plays such an important role in the democratic system.

Celebrating Those Who Serve: Volunteer Appreciation Party 💚 As we wrapped up a wonderful school year and welcomed the start of summer, we gathered for one of our favorite traditions — the Volunteer Appreciation Party. The evening was filled with good food, refreshing drinks, and even better company as we celebrated the incredible individuals who give so generously of their time and talents to Chapelle. This special night was simply our way of saying thank you for all they do to make our school community so special. Our volunteers are the heart behind so many of the moments that make Chapelle shine. From supporting events to cheering behind the scenes, their dedication and commitment truly makes a difference in the lives of our students and faculty. Each year, as a small token of our gratitude, we hold a blind drawing and select one volunteer family to receive half off their daughter’s tuition for the upcoming school year. We are excited to share that the Dubrock Family was chosen this year! Congratulations and thank you for all you do to help our school thrive. A sincere thank you to our: 💚Parents Club 💚Men’s Club 💚Grandparents Club 💚Gala Chairs and Committee 💚Golf Tournament Volunteers 💚Craft Fair Volunteers 💚Alumnae Volunteers 💚And the many others who served in countless ways throughout the year Your support, enthusiasm, and willingness to serve do not go unnoticed.
