Mythology Meets Design in Ms. Urso’s Latin II Class Greek and Roman mythology became the inspiration for a creative design challenge in Samantha Urso’s Latin II class. Students were tasked with imagining hotels inspired by mythological gods, goddesses, creatures, and other figures. Then, they brought their ideas to life through a model or portfolio. Building on Literature and Research The project began with passages of literature and research about each student’s chosen figure. Students gathered details to guide their hotel concepts, connecting their design choices to what they learned. Rather than simply choosing a mythological name for a hotel, students had to consider how their figure’s characteristics and stories could shape the design. Their finished models and portfolios demonstrated both their understanding of the source material and their creativity. A Creative Connection to the Ancient World The assignment brought together close reading, research, and imaginative thinking, offering students a new way to engage with classical mythology. Translating details from ancient stories into a hotel concept challenged them to think carefully about how to represent their chosen figure. We love seeing our Chipmunks make meaningful connections between their lessons and their own ideas. Thank you to Ms. Urso for creating an opportunity for students to explore Latin through such an inventive project!

Students and faculty took a lunchtime trip around the world...without leaving campus! Chapelle’s Foreign Language Festival brought our community together in the Gym to explore cultures through food, games, language, music, and hands-on activities. Each participating club offered something unique, giving guests plenty of opportunities to try something new and learn along the way. Junior Classical League: Exploring the Ancient World The Junior Classical League (JCL) brought ancient Greek and Roman culture to the festival with food, photos, and a language challenge. Members contributed ancient Roman foods, while an ancient Greek and Roman photo booth invited guests to step into the classical world. At the “Latin Evolved” booth, participants played a game identifying French and Spanish words that came from Latin. A student-created JCL banner tied the club’s displays together. Chips Around Japan: Creativity and Cultural Connections Chips Around Japan shared Japanese and other Asian-themed snacks, sweets, and candies alongside the club’s display board. Guests also had the opportunity to practice writing their names in Japanese Kanji using traditional calligraphy brushes. A Japanese trivia game added some friendly competition, with anime stickers awarded as prizes. National Spanish Honor Society: Food, Music, and Movement The NSHS contribution brought energy and flavor to the celebration with Zumba and Hispanic food samples. Members also created a banner for their food area, welcoming festivalgoers to stop by, sample a dish, and join the fun. Chips for Cultural Awareness: Learning Through Play Chips for Cultural Awareness invited participants to explore different versions of games from Africa, Asia, and Europe. Along with the club’s display board, trivia questions and prizes encouraged guests to test their knowledge and discover something new about the world. NFHS: A Taste of France The NFHS area offered a sweet taste of French culture! Crepes Rendez-vous prepared Nutella crepes for students to sample, while members contributed French treats, including croissants and macaroons. A French photo booth gave guests another way to join in and capture a festival memory. Celebrating Culture and Community The Foreign Language Festival offered a fun, welcoming way to explore languages and cultures beyond the classroom. From trying unfamiliar foods to practicing calligraphy and discovering connections between languages, students and faculty shared a lunch filled with curiosity and connection.  Thank you to the clubs, student members, and faculty sponsors whose contributions brought this celebration to life! 💚
