Alumnae Career Engagement Presentation Recap: Medical Sonography

2026 Chapelle Makes A Difference Day 🌟 25 Agencies. One Mission. Endless Impact. 💚 Chapelle’s annual Makes A Difference Day once again brought our entire student body into the heart of the community for a day rooted in service, compassion, and purpose. This year, our Chipmunks partnered with 25 incredible organizations across Louisiana, dedicating their time and energy to meeting real needs and forming meaningful connections. From environmental stewardship and hands‑on service projects to spending time with residents, supporting teachers, organizing donations, and assisting local ministries, our students truly served as the hands and feet of Christ throughout the day. Whether offering a helping hand or simply sharing a smile and conversation, the impact was felt far beyond a single afternoon. This powerful tradition reflects the heart of a Chapelle education—forming young women who lead with faith, act with compassion, and serve with joy. We are incredibly proud of the way our students continue to step beyond our campus walls to make a difference where it matters most.

Physics in Action: Mrs. Blackburn’s Egg Drop Challenge 🥚 Learning came crashing down in the best way possible in Mrs. Blackburn’s physics classes as students took on a classic (and messy!) egg drop challenge designed to bring physics concepts to life. Students put momentum, impulse, and kinetic energy to the test by engineering devices meant to protect a raw egg dropped from Chapelle’s breezeway, nearly 15 feet above the ground. With no limits on materials or design, creativity ran wild and ingenuity was on full display. The results were as entertaining as they were educational. We saw eggs cushioned by loaves of bread, protected by foam enclosures, sealed inside peanut butter jars, and even suspended in a bucket of slime. Each design reflected thoughtful problem‑solving and an understanding of how force and energy interact during impact. While not every egg survived the fall, every drop was a lesson. Students analyzed what worked, what didn’t, and how their designs could improve, gaining hands‑on experience that textbooks simply can’t replicate. Some builds were especially impressive, proving that a little imagination goes a long way in science. Mrs. Blackburn’s egg drop challenge was a perfect example of how Chapelle students learn by doing, combining curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in a fun and unforgettable way.

Softball Retreat Builds Faith, Teamwork, and Season‑Ready Spirit This past weekend, Chapelle’s softball team kicked off the season with a meaningful and energizing team retreat—and they truly knocked it out of the park. The day was filled with opportunities for faith, reflection, and bonding. The retreat began with a Blessing of the Field led by Deacon Capaci, setting the tone for a season rooted in gratitude, faith, and purpose. The team then took the field for a scrimmage, followed by a series of team challenges designed to strengthen communication and trust. One of the highlights of the day was this year’s featured challenge, “Carry the Canoe: The Way.” The team worked together through 14 stations, completing both physical challenges and problem‑solving tasks at each stop. With every station, a 5‑pound weight was added to the canoe they carried—symbolizing the importance of perseverance, unity, and shared responsibility as challenges grow. In addition to the physical and mental challenges, the team spent time in reflection in the chapel, participated in team‑bonding games, and concluded the retreat by attending Mass at St. Philip Neri (SPN). The goal of the retreat was simple but powerful: to grow in Christ and grow together as a team. This weekend served as a beautiful foundation for the season ahead, strengthening not only athletic readiness but also faith and friendship.  We are excited to see how this team carries these lessons onto the field throughout the season.

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler: Chapelle Alumnae Northshore Social 💜🎭 The Mardi Gras season rolled on with another joyful alumnae gathering as Chapelle Alumnae from the Northshore came together for a festive social on February 3 from 6–8 p.m. at Triple Nickel Grill in Madisonville. Set against the lively spirit of Carnival, alumnae enjoyed an evening filled with great conversation, laughter, and reconnecting with fellow Chipmunks. The turnout was fantastic, and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces sharing stories, catching up, and celebrating the Chapelle bond off campus. Events like this remind us that once a Chipmunk, always a Chipmunk. Whether near or far, our alumnae community continues to grow and stay connected, especially during a season that celebrates joy, tradition, and togetherness. Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a fun and festive evening. We loved seeing you and look forward to many more alumnae gatherings as Carnival season continues!

Let the Good Times Bloom: Alumnae Mardi Gras Flower Painting Social 🌸🎭 Laissez les bons temps rouler!

With paintbrushes in hand and festive flair in the air, alumnae enjoyed a relaxed and joyful evening creating beautiful flower paintings inspired by the season. It was wonderful to see so many alumnae reconnecting with classmates, sharing laughter, and making new memories on campus. The turnout was incredible, and the enthusiasm and energy brought by our alumnae made the event extra special.  As we enter Carnival season, this event was a beautiful reminder that the Chapelle bond is timeless—full of color, joy, and tradition.
