The faculty came back from summer break on August 1st. Since then, they've earned certifications in CPR and First Aid, attended an inspirational retreat, and participated in a powerful professional development workshop. Bulletin boards are going up, new books and resources are arriving, and everyone is excited to welcome our Chapel scholars on Monday, August 13th. God bless CCS.

The faculty will need all four days of the long Memorial Day holiday-maybe more- to bounce back from their disastrous defeats in basketball and the balloon toss on Friday, May 24th. If not for MVP Roman del Pozo and his heroics in kickball, the faculty would not have had a single win during the day. Congrats students and thank you Mr. Pham, Mr. D, and Mr. Val for making what the 8th graders now refer to as, "The best Spirit Day ever!"

Wednesday was one great day. It started with kinder hosting the May Mass and giving generous gifts to the needy. After lunch, the student body, parents, friends, faculty, and staff were treated to amazing acts at the Chapel Annual Talent Show. Students danced, sang, played musical instruments, gave martial arts presentations and simply wowed the audience with talent from kinder to 8th. Thank you all, including our hosts for the day April Kim (8th) and Alyssa Marquez (7th) whose humor and warmth added greatly to the special day.

Chapel made history at the Las Colinas Speech Competition on May 19, 2016. For the first time ever, a 5th grader took first place in a major event: Congratulations Elizabeth Lo; she earned a 1st place in Theme. Our only 8th grade member this year, Christina Arguello, took home more awards from one event than any student in the history of our team. She earned a 1st in Dramatic, 2nd in Humorous, a Gold in Versatility, and a Perseverance Award for competing in over six different categories at events over the year. Maya Bryant (7th) earned a Bronze Versatility Award and also earned a Perseverance Award; she competed in five different categories over the course of this year's speech season. Adrianna Brady also earned a Perseverance Award. Patrick Holloway (6th) was awarded a certificate for his performance in Humorous. Congratulations to our incredible team and one great, big "THANK YOU!" you to our amazing speech coach, Mrs. Amber Aguirre.

Chapel is a family, and although our students graduate and leave our halls, they do not leave our thoughts or hearts. Hearing of the success of our former students is extremely rewarding. The news from Alice Cotti of Notre Dame High School this week was particularly exciting. Ally will be giving the speech at her high school graduation; she's also been accepted to MIT. In addition to the great news about Ally, the letter said, "Thank you for the incredible job you do of educating young people who join our community and grow in heart and mind. We love our Cathedral Chapel students and would love to have more of them! Please keep sending them our way. With much love and appreciation for all you do, Alice Cotti, Notre Dame HS (Sherman Oaks)." Thank you, Ms. Cotti; God bless NDHS, and God bless Ally Hong and her family.
