Hallow

Last year, we partnered with Hallow, an amazing online resource for prayer that the students can use in the classroom and in their own personal lives! Having Hallow was a great opportunity that I know many of our students took advantage of. Between the faculty, staff, and students, the Archbishop Chapelle community prayed over 11,000 prayers on Hallow last year! 


I am happy to say that we are partnering with Hallow again this year! Every single student will have full access to a Hallow account through their achschipmunks email. They should have, or soon will be receiving an email from Hallow with more information on how to log into their accounts. The students can access Hallow through the web browser on their chromebooks, or they can also download the app on their smartphones if they have one. We will be using Hallow in the Theology classes this year, so it is important that every student knows how to access their accounts. 


Parents, Hallow also generously offers a free trial for you! Be on the lookout for more information in the future! 


If you have any questions about Hallow, please contact Mr. Gavin Matherne.

Know that we are praying for you!

MobileServe

This year, Chapelle has partnered with MobileServe, an online service to record and track service hours! We are excited to use MobileServe help us record and track every student's required service hours throughout the year. The students should have, or will be receiving an email directly from MobileServe with information on how to log into their accounts. Please see the attached flyer for more information! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Brenda Capaci.

Bullying/Harassment Policy

Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others and is characterized by a power imbalance between the two parties. Bullying includes, but is not limited to physical or verbal aggression, relational aggression, or emotional aggression (teasing, threatening, and intimidating others). Relational aggression (RA), is a form of indirect bullying that uses social relationships to manipulate or harm others, such as isolating a student from her group of friends (social exclusion), threatening to stop talking to a friend (the ''silent treatment''), or spreading gossip and rumors. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, comments, or other offensive conduct relating to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Bullying, relational aggression (including cyber-bullying), and harassment will not be tolerated. Please use the forms below to report bullying.

Belize Mission Trip 2025: A Journey of Faith, Service, and Transformation This summer, Chapelle and Rummel missionaries returned from their unforgettable journey to Belize! The group arrived home bursting with joy and the Holy Spirit—quite literally singing “This Little Light of Mine” as they exited the airport and reunited with their families. Their hearts were full, and their spirits on fire after a week of transformative service and Christ-centered community. This mission trip was more than a week of travel—it was a week of living out the Gospel. Our students not only served others but encountered Christ in new and profound ways. Through simple yet powerful moments—playing with children, sharing meals, praying together—they saw the light of Christ alive in the village of San Marcos, and in turn, allowed their own lights to shine. Junior, Audrey Dubuc, reflected on her experience, sharing: “Attending the Belize mission has truly been a fulfilling and life changing experience! The mission has shown me how powerful God’s love can be. In just one week I was able to see the light of Christ active in everyone I encountered. Being able to witness his healing done on this mission trip was so inspiring, and has shown how beautiful His love is. Specifically through the children of Belize, their pure joy was a true reflection of Jesus active in their lives. While serving their community, I got the opportunity to see God’s light shining through them. It brought me so much joy to see how, while we may live different lives, we are all still a part of the one Church and share in God’s love.” Our students took Christ’s words from Matthew 28:19-20 to heart: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” And they did just that. By answering His call and stepping into this mission, they not only brought faith, hope, and love to the people of San Marcos, but also encountered Christ in deeper, more personal ways. This mission marked our fourth year serving the San Marcos community, and we are beginning to witness real, lasting change. Through your support, our missionaries are not only growing spiritually, but helping to build something beautiful and lasting in Belize. The seeds planted over the years are bearing fruit, both in the hearts of our students and in the lives of the people they serve. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to everyone who made this mission trip possible—thank you for your prayers, donations, and support. You have played a vital role in making this journey one that our students will carry with them forever. We leave you with the words of Psalm 105:1-5, which beautifully capture the spirit of this mission: “Give thanks to the LORD, invoke his name;  make known among the peoples his deeds!  Sing praise to him, play music;  proclaim all his wondrous deeds!  Glory in his holy name;  let hearts that seek the LORD rejoice!  Seek out the LORD and his might;  constantly seek his face.  Recall the wondrous deeds he has done!”

Back to School Prayer

Dear Lord,

As our students begin a new school year, I pray that you will keep them in your care. Send your Spirit to open their minds to all that is true and beautiful and good.  Help them to see the gifts and talents you have given them and to use them well.  Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom.  Help them to be kind to others and lead others to be kind to them.
Open their young hearts to your presence and enfold them in your peace and protection.

Amen.

2025 Ochsner Super STEM Student MVPs Five Chipmunks were chosen as a 2025 Ochsner Super STEM Student MVP, presented by Ochsner Health and The Super Bowl Host Committee! The committee received project submissions from students all across Louisiana and they made it clear that our Chipmunks are student leaders in STEM and that they have developed a strong set of skills in STEM! Congratulations to the following students for this amazing academic accomplishment: 🌟 Simone Guidry - "I researched and experimented on the question, 'Which physical therapy hand exercises are most beneficial in improving penmanship in a person’s non-dominant hand?' I tested three different groups: hand-eye coordination, hand strength, and sentence repetition. I found that all of the groups produced a positive change in a person's handwriting, but repetition was the most successful." 🌟 Libbey Luminais - "I explored the work of performance trainers, which led me to investigate the impact of ankle weights on hip strength. My research question—'Do exercises involving ankle resistance weights enhance hip strength and balance time in dance?'—was tested through three different exercises using ankle weights, followed by measuring my balance time in a studio setting. Ultimately, I found that performing ankle weight exercises, particularly flutter kicks, led to a noticeable improvement in my balance time, confirming that ankle weights can be an effective tool for dancers aiming to boost strength and stability." 🌟 Alaina Sauvage - "In my project, I investigated the different effects between protein and carbohydrates and their effect on performance in golf. I performed a 2-week long experiment testing energy bars that were protein-based and carbohydrate-based. I recorded my scores each day to see if one showed an increase in performance." 🌟 Rihanna Valle - "My STEM project was testing whether or not plyometric workouts helped increase a volleyball players' jumping vertical. Being a member of the Chapelle volleyball program, I was able to receive the data that was compiled over a 6 month period of 8th, JV, and Varsity's vertical progression. Players worked out multiple times throughout the week and even if injury occurred, once the player was cleared to start working out again, the data showed that their vertical increased." 🌟 Audrey Weider - "Throughout my trials, I discovered how energy drinks and sports drinks affect athlete's reaction times in aerobic exercises. I performed experiments where I had people drink energy drinks and perform an exercise, then I did the same with the sports drinks, and water. I then compared the results to the group of people drinking water, and concluded which group had better reaction time for each drink/person!"
