AGBU MANOOGIAN-DEMIRDJIAN SCHOOL DEDICATES ANNUAL PARADON DAY AND BOOK
OF REFLECTIONS TO GENOCIDE REMEMBRANCE
New York, NY - Armenian Genocide commemorative events and tributes by
AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School began in April 2005 and continued
into May culminating with the dedication of the School's annual
Paradon Day on May 22 to remembering the Armenian Genocide.
Showcasing the talents and skills of the student body, Paradon 2005
was a daylong cultural celebration of life through dance, music and
creative works depicting the 90 year journey from the tragedy of 1915
to survival and rebirth. The event exemplified the commitment of a new
generation of Armenians who grapple with the issues of genocide and
recognition.
Additionally, under the auspices of the Paradon 2005 Steering
Committee, "Book of Reflections," a collection of creative writings
and artwork on the Armenian Genocide by School students was unveiled
at the Los Angeles Public Library on May 7.
Founded in 1976, AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School is a
pre-kindergarten through 12th grade co-educational private school
located in Canoga Park, CA providing instruction to approximately 1000
students. For more information on AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School,
