    The keynote speaker for the event, Dr. Armen Chalian, delivered a
    powerful message outlining the mission of Mesrobian School and its
    expectations from its students. Chalian, who is a Mesrobian alumnus,
    reminded the graduating students to take pride in their Armenian
    roots and follow in the footsteps of the leaders who led the Armenian
    liberation struggle and brought independence to Armenia.

    In his address the Principal marked that this was the year
    of academic improvement at Mesrobian School. He outlined the
    school-wide improvements achieved through the coordinated efforts of

    experience possible. Mr. Boyadjian thanked all individuals and
    organizations who assisted the school; he extended special gratitude
    to Prelate Mardirossian, the Prelacy Executive Council, UCLA Dream
    Fund and the ARF Dro Gomideh who lent their invaluable moral and
    financial support to Mesrobian. Addressing the graduating students,
    Boyadjian congratulated them and wished them all the best in their
    endeavors. He concluded by asking them, "never forget your roots,
    never detach from our collective history, never forgo our cultural
    heritage, and above all never hesitate to help our national cause."

    Then followed the presentation of diplomas to the graduating 5th,
    8th and 12th grade students. The presentation ceremony was led by the
