Chapelle Students Experience Local Government in Action On April 16, members of the Chapelle Bowling Team and students from Mr. Wooderson’s AP U.S. Government & Politics class were invited to attend a Kenner City Council Meeting by Joey LaHatte (Councilman – District 3), father of senior Caroline LaHatte ’26. During the meeting, the Mayor of Kenner and the City Council formally recognized the Chapelle Bowling Team for winning State, honoring their hard work and championship accomplishment. It was a proud moment for our student-athletes and school community. In addition to celebrating the team, the visit provided an invaluable educational experience. Students were able to witness firsthand the processes by which the city operates and listen to public comments from local citizens. They saw the very concepts they have been studying in AP U.S. Government and Politics reflected in real-world issues being debated and voted on by the council. This field trip offered a unique opportunity to see civics lessons come to life and to interact with city leaders, including council members, the Chief of Police, the Mayor, and other prominent community figures. A special highlight of the meeting was when Caroline LaHatte ’26 had the honor of leading the room in the Pledge of Allegiance. After the meeting, students were treated to lunch and ice cream which was the perfect ending to an incredible day of learning and celebration. Thank you to Councilman Joey LaHatte and the Kenner City Council for welcoming our students and providing such a meaningful experience.

Alumna Spotlight: Tiffany Willis Donovan ’10 We are proud to shine this week’s Alumna Spotlight on Tiffany Willis Donovan ’10, who is making an impact both on and off the sidelines at Tulane University. For the past five years, Tiffany has served as a coach for the Tulane University Cheer Team, mentoring and guiding collegiate athletes through some of the most formative years of their lives.

Being part of such an important chapter in their lives, both on and off the mat, is something Tiffany does not take lightly.
