Chapelle Shares Gratitude Through 2025 Thanksgiving Baskets 🦃🧺 The spirit of giving was alive and overflowing at Archbishop Chapelle High School this Thanksgiving season! As part of our annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive, students, faculty, and staff worked together to create beautiful baskets filled with food and essentials for families in need. This year, the baskets were donated to the St. Mary Magdalen Food Pantry as well as six other families in our Chapelle community. Each Burrow, along with members of the faculty and staff, completed a full basket — totaling over 40 baskets donated! In addition, the Chapelle family collected more than 600 items as part of the drive. This service effort beautifully reflects the mission of our Matthew 25 Service Program, which reminds us of Christ’s words: “...we see you hungry and feed you.” We are so proud of our Chipmunks for living out their faith through compassion, generosity, and action. Because of your kindness, many families will experience comfort, hope, and joy this Thanksgiving season.

12th Grade Grandparents Day: A Cherished Chapelle Tradition The Class of 2025 celebrated a beautiful 12th Grade Grandparents Day filled with faith, family, and gratitude.

Following the celebration, seniors and their grandparents enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by the Parents Club — complete with laughter, stories, and plenty of hugs. This celebration was especially meaningful as it marked the seniors’ final Grandparents Day as Chapelle Chipmunks. It was a wonderful reminder of the love, support, and traditions that make our community so strong. We are truly blessed to have such an amazing community of grandparents who nurture and inspire our students with faith, wisdom, and unconditional love.
