The Class of 2031's First Time on Campus as a Class On March 24, we rolled out the green and white carpet for our newest Chipmunks and their families at Green & White Welcome Night! Our incoming 8th graders were officially introduced for the very first time as the Class of 2031 and received their class t-shirts...a moment that made everything feel real! As they sat together as a class, it was a beautiful reminder that the girls beside them now will be the same ones beside them at graduation. Parents heard from our school leaders, getting a first-hand look at what to expect over the next five years as their daughters begin their high school journeys at Chapelle. The evening offered a glimpse into the academics, faith, friendships, and traditions that make Chapelle so special. What a beautiful night of Chipmunk Spunk! We cannot wait to officially welcome these Future Chips to campus.
