The pennies have been counted, but the suspense is building!

Which grade will emerge victorious in this year's epic Penny Wars?

Last week, our incredible Chipmunks rallied alongside their classmates, united by a common mission - to raise funds not just for their own class but also for our beloved Giving Tree, which brings joy to families in need during the Christmas season.


Here's a sneak peek into the Penny Wars battlefield strategy:

  • Pennies = POSITIVE Points
  • Other Coins & Dollars = NEGATIVE Points


While some grades diligently filled their jars with pennies, others craftily slipped in coins and dollars to knock their rivals off the top spot!


But that's not all! Each grade enlisted a "Rookie Teacher" as their fearless representative. Students had the power to tip the scales by purchasing rookie pins for their class rep (positive points) or their rivals (negative points). It was a strategic battle like no other!


Now, the moment you've all been waiting for is almost here! The class with the LEAST amount of negative points will have the honor of watching their teacher representative PIE the other "rookie teachers" in sweet victory!


And who knows, if our students raised enough money, there might be some additional faces filled with whipped cream!

Stay tuned, Chapelle fam, because the Penny Wars Winner is about to be revealed, and it's bound to be a moment of triumph and laughter!

Recapping a Great Summer

This summer, Molly hit the court in a big way—literally! While playing travel basketball, she participated in a 3-point shooting competition during one of her tournaments. The contest brought together about 15 talented high school players from across Louisiana and Mississippi, each ready to show off their shooting skills. When the final buzzer sounded, Molly had made the most 3-pointers out of the entire group, securing her spot as the champion! Her sharp shooting earned her not just bragging rights, but also a championship ring and a $400 prize. We are so proud of Molly for this exciting achievement! We cannot wait to see her in the Burrow this year representing Archbishop Chapelle High School on the basketball court!

We are thrilled to share exciting news about one of our own, Kyla Wilson '29, whose dedication, skill, and perseverance have earned her a spot on the international stage! This past June, at the USA Gymnastics Nationals, Kyla was selected to represent the United States at the South Tyneside International Acro Cup in Great Britain this October. This prestigious competition will bring together top athletes from around the world, and Kyla will proudly compete as part of Team USA. Kyla’s journey to this moment has been years in the making. Countless hours of training, discipline, and determination have shaped her into the exceptional gymnast she is today. Her selection is not only a testament to her incredible talent but also to her resilience and love for the sport. We are so proud of Kyla and cannot wait to cheer her on as she takes the floor in Great Britain.
