Leading with Faith: Campus Ministry Students Serve at St. Philip Neri Retreat On September 25, members of the Chapelle and Rummel Campus Ministry Retreat Teams came together to lead a retreat for the 7th graders at St. Philip Neri. The day offered opportunities for reflection, connection, and prayer, centered on St. Philip Neri’s theme for the year: “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like yours.” Growing in the Heart of Jesus Throughout the retreat, the 7th graders heard talks from our student leaders exploring three meaningful questions: How can we see ourselves the way Jesus does? How can we allow our hearts to become more like His? And how can we love others as Jesus loves us? These reflections invited students to recognize their worth in Christ, grow in humility and compassion, and consider how they can reflect His love in their everyday relationships. Bringing Everything to Jesus To close the day, students and retreat leaders spent time together in Eucharistic adoration, bringing their reflections, prayers, and intentions to Jesus. This time of prayer offered a meaningful conclusion to a day filled with fun and community. Faith in Action For our Campus Ministry students, leading a retreat is an opportunity to put their faith into action. By sharing their experiences and accompanying younger students, they practice leadership rooted in service and help others grow in their relationship with Christ.  We are grateful to St. Philip Neri for welcoming our retreat teams and to our partners at Rummel for serving alongside us. Thank you to our student leaders for sharing their faith and helping make this a special day of fun, community, and prayer!

Alumna Career Engagement Spotlight: Lauryn Ashley Richard ’09 Archbishop Chapelle High School was grateful to welcome Lauryn Ashley Richard ’09 back to campus as an Alumna Career Engagement Speaker. Lauryn shared her passion for mental healthcare and offered students a firsthand look at her work as a psychiatric consultant in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital. Supporting Patients in Times of Crisis In her role, Lauryn performs psychiatric evaluations for patients experiencing mental health crises, behavioral concerns, and psychosis. These evaluations help her determine the most appropriate next steps for each patient, including whether they can safely return home or need inpatient psychiatric support. Her responsibilities also include prescribing medications for short-term use following discharge or for urgent treatment during an acute crisis in the emergency department. Her work calls for thoughtful decision-making, compassion, and a commitment to patient safety. Lauryn described acquiring the education and skills needed to help her patients as a privilege. Her enthusiasm for sharing her work gave students a meaningful look at a career dedicated to supporting children and families during difficult moments. Connecting Classroom Learning to Career Possibilities Chapelle’s Alumna Career Engagement Program helps students explore potential career paths through connections with graduates working in a variety of fields. Hearing directly from alumnae gives students insight into professional responsibilities, the education and skills different careers require, and the ways they can use their talents to serve others. For students considering healthcare or mental health professions, Lauryn’s visit offered a valuable perspective on the important role psychiatric care plays in an emergency setting. Experiences like these help students connect their interests to future opportunities and make more informed decisions about life beyond Chapelle. Inspiring the Next Generation We are grateful to Lauryn for sharing her time, knowledge, and passion with our students. Her dedication to her patients is a wonderful example of how Chapelle alumnae make a meaningful difference in their communities.  Thank you, Lauryn, for returning to campus and helping our Chipmunks envision their futures!

Life Skills Students Learn Car Maintenance from Guest Speaker Mr. Will Reinecke Archbishop Chapelle High School’s Life Skills classes recently had the pleasure of welcoming a very special guest speaker, Mr. Will Reinecke, father of Lia Reinecke ’28. With years of hands-on experience managing a fleet of vehicles, Mr. Reinecke brought valuable real-world knowledge into the classroom and shared practical lessons that students can carry with them well beyond Chapelle. During his visit, Mr. Reinecke introduced students to the basics of routine car maintenance, including how to check fluid levels, monitor tire pressure, and stay on schedule with oil changes. He also explained the importance of paying attention to changes in a vehicle’s performance and recognizing early warning signs, such as unusual sounds, dashboard lights, or changes in handling. Students were fully engaged as Mr. Reinecke discussed what these warning signs could mean and why addressing car issues early can help prevent larger and more expensive repairs in the future. His presentation gave students a better understanding of how regular maintenance contributes to both safety and long-term vehicle care. One of the highlights of the lesson was an interactive demonstration on how to safely change a tire. Mr. Reinecke walked students through the process step by step, giving them a hands-on look at an important life skill that every driver should know. We are grateful to Mr. Reinecke for sharing his time, experience, and expertise with our students. His visit helped our Life Skills classes feel more confident, capable, and prepared for life behind the wheel!

"Legacy Makes Cents" Coin Wars 2026 From October 12-16, Archbishop Chapelle High School will celebrate school spirit, friendly competition, and alumnae pride with this year’s penny war theme: Legacy Makes Cents! This exciting fundraiser will bring together current students and Chapelle Alumnae Faculty/Staff in a fun, competitive way. Each grade level will be represented by a Chapelle alumna teacher/staff member, making this year’s event a special celebration of the legacy that connects generations of Chipmunks. Meet the Grade Level Representatives Each grade level will compete on behalf of their alumna representative: 8th Grade: Mrs. Mellor, Class of 2003 Freshmen: Mrs. Medina, Class of 2006 Sophomores: Mrs. Wurster, Class of 2000 Juniors: Ms. LaCour, Class of 2021 Seniors: Mrs. Linegang, Class of 2020 Students are encouraged to support their grade level representative throughout the week as they work to earn the highest total. How the Competition Works The rules are simple, but the strategy is everything! Coins count as positive points for your grade level. Bills count as negative points when placed toward another grade level. Pins or stickers for your own grade level representative count as positive. Pins or stickers for another grade level representative count as negative. Students who want to support their own grade should donate coins and purchase pins or stickers for their own representative. Students who want to lower another grade’s total should donate bills or purchase pins or stickers for another grade level representative. At the end of the week, the grade level with the highest total will win a very special prize: their representative will get to pie the other grade level representatives! Student Body Fundraising Goals In addition to the grade level competition, the entire student body will work together toward schoolwide fundraising goals. If certain amounts are raised, the winning class officers will have the opportunity to pie Chapelle staff members who are also proud alumnae. The more we raise, the more alumnae staff members join the fun! $2,000: Mrs. Pierce, Class of 2013 $2,500: Mrs. Dawson, Class of 2013 $3,000: Mrs. Woodward, Class of 1996 $3,500: Ms. Smith, Class of 1980 $4,000: Mrs. Panzavecchia, Class of 1990 $4,500: Mrs. Dantagnan, Class of 1988 All for a Good Cause!

We can’t wait to see which grade comes out on top and how many alumnae staff members will end up in the pie zone! Get your coins, bills, pins, and stickers ready, Chipmunks. Let the competition begin!

Welcoming Future Chipmunks to Future Scholars Night 💚🌟 On October 1, Archbishop Chapelle High School welcomed prospective families to campus for Future Scholars Night, an engaging evening created for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade girls and their families. This event gave Future Chipmunks the opportunity to explore Chapelle’s academic offerings, participate in hands-on activities, and learn more about the many ways our students are encouraged to grow, discover, and succeed. An Evening of Discovery The night began with a warm welcome from our Associate Head of School, who introduced families to the heart of Chapelle’s academic experience. From there, students and parents separated into groups for a night designed to give each of them a meaningful look at life as a Chapelle student. While parents heard more about Chapelle’s curriculum, programs, and student support, Future Chipmunks had the chance to experience learning in action through interactive sessions across campus. Learning Comes to Life Throughout the evening, prospective students rotated through a variety of stations that highlighted the creativity, innovation, and academic excellence found at Chapelle. In Future Focus, students reflected on their goals and dreams while creating vision boards and learning how Chapelle helps prepare students for success beyond high school. During the STEM session, guests explored robotics, 3D printing, and hands-on science activities in the ARC, giving them a glimpse into the exciting ways Chapelle students problem-solve, create, and experiment. The Tech and Media station offered a look into how students use technology, storytelling, and creativity through Chapelle’s digital media opportunities. Students also learned about Experiential Learning, where education extends beyond the classroom. This session highlighted the electives, field trips, and real-world learning experiences available at Chapelle. Families also had the opportunity to hear about the exciting travel opportunities Chapelle offers, including student trips abroad in Europe, where learning continues through culture, history, faith, and global exploration. Each station helped Future Chipmunks see how Chapelle encourages students to think boldly, ask questions, and discover their passions. Valuable Information for Parents While their daughters participated in activities, parents met with Chapelle faculty and staff to learn more about academic programs, course offerings, scholarships, and resources available to students. These conversations gave families a deeper understanding of how Chapelle supports each young woman throughout her high school journey. Parents also received helpful materials about scholarships and course studies, allowing them to better envision their daughter’s future as a Chapelle student. A Bright Future Ahead  Future Scholars Night was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the faith-filled, supportive, and academically challenging environment that makes Chapelle such a special place. We loved welcoming so many curious and talented young women to campus and sharing the many opportunities that await them as Future Chipmunks. Thank you to all of the families who joined us for this special evening. We cannot wait to welcome you back to campus soon! 💚
