STEM Takes Flight with Alumna Speaker Shelby Frazier ’20! ✈️ The STEM Club got a high-flying dose of inspiration this week, thanks to alumna Shelby Frazier ’20, who returned to Chapelle to share her passion for aviation and engineering! Shelby led a fun, interactive presentation all about airplanes and their inner workings, teaching students how lift, drag, and thrust work together to keep planes soaring through the sky. After learning the science behind flight, the students put their knowledge to the test by designing and creating their own paper airplanes — aiming to see whose plane could travel the farthest! The results were filled with creativity, friendly competition, and lots of laughter. We’re so proud of Shelby for continuing to represent Chapelle’s values of Faith, Tradition, and Excellence in her field, and for inspiring our students to reach new heights — literally!

Laughter and team spirit filled the courts this week as some members of the Chapelle Tennis Team decided to surprise Coach Beth and Coach Kim with a hilarious and heartwarming “Moo Moo Monday” for practice! 🐮  Dressed in colorful and comfy moo moo outfits, the players brought smiles to everyone’s faces — proving that at Chapelle, teamwork goes beyond the game. Whether it’s on the court or off, this team knows how to have fun while staying united in true Chipmunk spirit! 💚🎾 Here’s to more laughter, love, and volleys all season long!

Our first annual Foreign Language Festival was a hit! Members of our National French Honor Society contributed by bringing French food, such as macarons, crêpes, and croissants, which were enjoyed by all. One student, Lauren de la Gardelle, created a French festival banner that hung over our presentation of the treats. Some of the activities we had included dressing up and taking fun pictures with friends, enjoying delicious treats, wearing funny mustaches, and playing a game called The Stolen Jewels from the Louvre. The person who found the crown won a delicious Bourdin cheese. Members of our National Spanish Honor Society contributed by bringing Spanish food, such as chips & queso and guacamole, which our students could not get enough of. The activity that they shared with the student body was Zumba. So many students enjoyed getting some exercise while doing some Spanish dance moves and listening to Spanish music. We loved our time with @gina.zumba.nola. Members of our National Junior Classical League contributed by bringing an ancient Greek and Roman inspired photobooth! Students had an opportunity to take pictures with friends while learning more about Greek and Roman culture. Members also brought Spanish food and French food to collaborate with our modern languages. All three organizations, as well as Chips Around Japan, displayed their club boards to share their cultures and inspire the student body. Overall, our goal for the first Foreign Language Festival was simply to spread the beauty of different cultures to the entire student body, and we definitely achieved that!
