SCHOOL TRIPS - JUNE 24, 2008
Tuesday June 24, 2008, was a day to remember. We thank God that all went as scheduled and well, and the students enjoyed the first day of their vacation with their classmates and teachers. The elementary students headed for the swimming pools at Splash Mountain, where the splashing got splashier as the hours passed –and took a break only for the noon snacks.
The intermediate & secondary students headed to the mountains (950 meters above sea level) to the beautiful Armenian Catholic Monastery of Bzommar. For them, this was a day of fun & education. It started with a tour of the campus –the Church, museum & library of over 80,000 books & manuscript. Then all headed for the adjacent field, where each class, with their homeroom teacher, started the lunch preparation. All were well prepared –from tuna salads to great barbeques & pizzas.
We thank our teachers and wish all –teachers, staff & students a brilliant summer vacation.

KG GRADUATION & ... Ghassan Rahbani
On Fri. June 13, 2008, 18 KG II students graduated from kindergarten. All three KG classes performed on stage. They sang, recited and prayed in Arabic, English & Armenian, and danced to the tunes of Lebanese and Armenian folk music. All these were integrated in one drama whose theme centered around “being content”.
The highlight of the evening was a song recently released in the markets –a song dedicated to the Armenian people- which the KG I & II students performed. The author and singer of “Nahna Hon Min3ich” (We live here), the famous Lebanese Artist, Ghasan Rahbani, honored our students by his presence. In his word to the students and families, he stressed that, the Armenian people should be very proud to be Armenian.
We congratulate our KG students, their parents & families. We also congratulate and highly appreciate our dedicated KG teachers and staff.
