PARAMUS, N.J.-On March 15, at the annual fundraising event of Sipan
Armenian School, Louisa Janbazian, president of the School Board,
announced that the school received an Honorary Award from Spitak
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 in honor of its
30th anniversary.
The school, Janbazian said, earned this award because of the hard
work and dedication of the teachers and principal, Arpi Kevorkian,
who teach the students to learn and love the Armenian language and
our rich cultural heritage. Janbazian also thanked the Board members,
guests and donors for their continued support, and praised the founding
members-from the Armenian Evangelical College Students Association of
Beirut, Lebanon-some of whom are still on the School Board. Thirty
years ago, as new immigrants from Lebanon 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 language and
history.
Finally, Janbazian thanked James and Maral Sahagian, who graciously
hosted the 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 the event, as well as the generous
donations from friends and supporters, will help the school continue
with its mission.
The Sipan Armenian School, which meets on Friday evenings at the
Armenian Presbyterian Church of Paramus, has pre-nursery to seventh
grades. For more information call Principal Kevorkian at (201) 497-5096
or visit the school on Friday evenings between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. at
140 Forest Ave. in Paramus.
