Paramus, N.J. - On March 15, at the annual fundraising event of Sipan
Armenian School, Mrs. Louisa Janbazian, president of the school Board,
announced that the school received an Honorary Award from Mr. Spartak
Seyranyan, the Minister of Science and Education of the Republic of
Armenia, for its legacy of educating and nurturing the young Armenian
generation with the Armenian Spirit, and for the 30th Anniversary of
its founding.
Mrs. Janbazian added that the school has earned this award because of
the hard work and the dedication of the teachers and especially the
principal, Mrs. Arpi Kevorkian, who teach the Armenian children to
learn and love the Armenian language and our rich cultural heritage.
She also thanked the Board members, the guests and the donors for
their continued support for the school, and praised the founding
members (Armenian Evangelical College Students Association of Beirut,
Lebanon) some of whom are still on the School Board. Thirty years ago,
as new emigrants from Lebanon here in New Jersey, this group had the
vision to create an environment, outside of the home, where Armenian
children could come together to learn their Armenian language and
history.
Finally, she thanked James and Maral Sahagian, who graciously hosted
this fundraising event at their home in Airmont, N.Y., where the
guests spent a lovely afternoon and enjoyed a delicious Lenten
luncheon. The proceeds from this event, as well as the generous
donations from friends and supporters, will help the school to
continue with its noble mission.
The Sipan Armenian School, which meets on Friday evenings at the
Armenian Presbyterian Church of Paramus, NJ, has Pre-Nursery to
seventh grades.
