April 2015 Dear Parents:
After the long winter, we now look forward with great anticipation to the coming of spring. It is difficult to
believe we are already approaching the end of the 2014-2015 school year.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parents, faculty, students, and alumnae for their
participation in the Chapelle Emerald Gala. This year’s auction was the most successful in the history of
Archbishop Chapelle High School. We are happy to report that the profit from the Gala is approximately
$125,000, a significant improvement from the $71,000 we raised last year.
We must give a special “thank you” to the Gala committee and especially to Mrs. Cindy Wooderson who chaired
the auction this year. Cindy’s dedication and love for the girls of Chapelle have been an inspiration to all of us.
We would also like to thank all of the parents who participated in this year’s Parents Annual Giving Drive. With
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Womach’s $50,000 match, the Drive raised $55,000 from our parents for a total of $105,000,
another school record.
Remember, every penny raised will be applied to our new state-of-the-art science complex.
For those who have not participated, it is not too late to make a donation to the fund. No amount is too small!!
As we approach the Easter season, we celebrate the rising of Christ from the grave, following his crucifixion and
death. It is a celebration of the conquering of death and the triumph of life. It is a joyous reaffirmation of life. It
is our hope that during this holy season of life that all of our girls resolve to be the best they are capable of
becoming, to strive for the best in everything they do, to live their lives in a positive manner that will lead to
growth and happiness, and to improve the quality of life for all people.
On behalf of our faculty and staff, we wish you a happy and holy Easter holiday.
Loyal to green and white,
John A. Serio
Principal
Campus Ministry Notes
Prayer for Easter:
Christ, rising again from the
dead
dieth now no more:
death shall no more have dominion over him;
for in that he died, he died once:
but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God,
alleluia, alleluia.
Let the Jews now tell us,
how the soldiers,
who guarded the sepulcher,
lost the King,
though they had placed a rock over him.
Why kept they not the Rock of Justice?
Why kept they not the
Either let them restore the buried One,
or adore with us the risen One, saying:
But in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God,
alleluia, alleluia
On Friday, March 6th, Nicolette Koll, Jamie
Defourneaux, Mallory Knudsen, and Sarah Vicknair
participated in Young Women’s Unity Fest IV hosted
by The Unity Community of Mount Carmel and
Drexel Prep. This year's theme was “Celebrating
Yesterday, Growing from Today, Coming Together
for Tomorrow.” The afternoon consisted of games,
music, fashion, small group sessions, and a guest
panel of speakers (Ms. Sarah Denny, Sr. Tracey
Dugas, and Ms. Ashley Childs). Thank you to Mount
Carmel and Drexel Prep for inviting us to discuss
our beauty and the gift of our femininity.

Tulane Quiz Bowl
Quiz Bowl members Brenda Hebert, Emily Vu, Kelli Mejia,
Kaitlyn Ranatza, and Sarah Kohoutek represented Chapelle at

Investigative Classrooms
As the final quarter approaches and after-school activities seem to be increasing, students
continue to be engaged in the classroom. Mrs. Filostrat’s World Geography class is just one
example. Students recently worked in pairs to investigate a country of their choice to showcase
diversity and shed light on different environmental issues around the world. Students made realworld connections to the five themes of geography by researching important facts and unique
details about each country.
An important feature of this assignment was to highlight both the positive and negative impact
of humans on the environment. This allows us to better understand environmental issues and
their social, economic, and political implications on a local and global scale. In their final
project, students created a poster and gave an oral presentation of their findings. We are looking
forward to what the fourth quarter will bring.

B e t t e r S c o r e s i n O n e D ay
It’s easy to sign up for the MasteryPrep one-day boot camp workshop.

Date: April 11th
HOW THE ACT BOOT CAMP WORKS
Time: 8:30-2:30
(30 min lunch break, bring a lunch)

need to feel prepared for test day.
Metarie, LA 70003
PACING
Students don’t only receive
pacing guidelines; they actually
practice timed segments of the
ACT throughout the day until
they are confident they can
achieve the pace they need to
succeed.
TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES
Your students will receive a
refresher on the test-taking
staples of the process of
elimination and making educated
guesses, as well as ACT-specific
score-boosting secrets. For
instance, most math figures are actually drawn to scale, and on
the English test, if it sounds
wrong, it probably is wrong.
CONTENT
The philosophy that drives
MasteryPrep’s ACT Boot Camp
effectiveness is that content is
king: Students actually have to
learn something in order to make
significant ACT score improvements, and our ACT Boot Camp is
no exception. Students learn and
practice essential skills tested in
the English, math, reading, and
science segments of the ACT.
ACT BOOT CAMP WORKBOOK
Every student receives the new ACT Boot Camp workbook, which
they work in throughout the
workshop and take home
afterwards for additional practice
before test day.

from her teachers when needed, and set long term goals.

St. Joseph’s Altar
Archbishop Chapelle’s magnificent St. Joseph’s Altar on Wednesday, March 18 and Thursday, March
19 was featured in the Times Picayune and on WGNO-TV news. Students Sophia Bankson, Janet
Nelson, and Francesca DeVille gave compelling interviews to enlighten the public on the significance
of St. Joseph’s Day and the rich traditions that many families in the Chapelle community celebrate.
We thank all the volunteers who gave their time and hard work to make our altar a beautiful success!
Tuition Auction
On Sunday, March 29, Chapelle students Taylor Sparacello and
Julia Folse participated in the First NBC Bank Tuition Auction
hosted by WLAE-TV. Students from Catholic schools in and around
New Orleans were interviewed live to raise scholarship money.
Our Chapelle girls were naturals in front of the camera! They
showcased our school’s commitment to teaching academic and
spiritual excellence, leadership, and integrity. Chapelle’s focus on
teaching STEM and robotics to young ladies prepares them for
thriving careers in engineering, science, and technology fields.
CRIMESTOPPERS
Mrs. Sauerhoff accompanied students
to the Crimestoppers GNO Annual
Awards Luncheon this month. Students
Lindsey Tizzard, Madelyn Haygood, Ally
Choppin, and Katelyn Magri
represented Chapelle as Teen
Ambassadors Against Crime (TAAC).
Top awards were presented to students
for their outstanding contribution to
Crimestoppers GNO and our
community. Congratulations to our
young Crimestoppers for helping make
our city safer!
Real Love Week Real Love Week, from Monday, March 2 – Friday, March 6, is an opportunity to focus on the satisfying love of
Christ and on how all other love should be rooted in that perfect love of Our Lord. The week began with
Chapelle’s daily prayer, which was centered on scripture that spoke of unbridled and perfect love. The
Women of Christ Club ensured these scripture verses were everywhere to be seen by the entire school,
posting them on every locker, in every hallway, classroom, and everywhere in between.
While many other activities took place over the course of the week, the highlight was on Friday, March 6th,
when the Women of Christ Club hosted a Real Love Panel; which consisted of Sr. Tracey Dugas, Miss
Sarah Denny (class of 2007), and Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Dessauer.
Mrs. Jessie Dupuy, moderator of the Women of Christ Club, wrote an article about the Women of Christ Club
for the Clarion Herald that was published on March 17. She remarked: “As a panel of witnesses to Christ’s
love shown through various vocations as well as stages in life, their powerful testimony to Christ’s love was
one that was both genuine and challenging.”
At the conclusion of the panel, almost 30 students met in our chapel for a Purity Commitment Ceremony.
The girls joined together to pray as a community and say “yes” to their dignity as women. Mrs. Dupuy
commented: “The graces that the Lord blessed Archbishop Chapelle with over the course of Real Love Week
were beautiful, and we continue to pray that they will penetrate the hearts of our entire Chapelle family.”
John Georges at Chapelle
On Monday, March 2, Mr. John Georges addressed
the student body to share his life story and inspire
our students to work hard to achieve their goals.
A New Orleans native, Tulane graduate, prominent
businessman, and philanthropic leader, Mr. Georges
is the publisher of The Advocate and chairman of
Georges Enterprises. Mr. Georges is a role model for
giving back to one’s community and a proud
supporter of strengthening community through
excellent education and Catholic ideals.
