Clovis, Calif. - The Board of Directors of the Charlie Keyan Armenian
Community School proudly announces the award of a $100,000 grant from
the UCLA Dream Fund.
Monies from the Dream Fund will be applied to five specific projects
and will generally help improve and maintain the quality of education
at CKACS. A large portion of the grant will fund the CKACS' effort
to gain accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and
Colleges. Since September, CKACS Principal Zar Der Mugrdechian has
been busy ensuring that the school meets the WASC criteria, including
requirements related to curricular and teaching standards.
Another part of the Dream Fund grant will go to support the CKACS
instrumental music program. Beginning in 2006, the CKACS has offered
instrumental music as a core class. Students start in Kindergarten
learning the basics of music theory and timing, and by the 4th they
are ready to specialize in their own instrument and become a member
of the CKACS band. The program has been both enriching to the students
and the school as a whole.
The Dream Fund grant will also help maintain the school's budding
Eastern Armenian Language program and fund the purchase of updated
math and language arts curricula as well as new laptop computers for
the upper grades.
"The Dream Fund makes our dreams a reality," said CKACS Chairman
Vatche Wassilian. "In supporting Armenian schools, the Dream Fund is
continuing the great legacy begun by the Lincy Foundation."
