    Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian SchoolThe Rose and Alex Pilibos
    Armenian School recently received a $40,000 grant by The Armenian
    Academy of Los Angeles (AALA) to fund the establishment of Armenian
    Learning Labs throughout the School, Asbarez reports.

    Each learning lab will include a SMART board, projector, new versatile
    furniture, and softwares necessary for their lessons. The goal is to
    create an environment where students can utilize technology not just
    to research their heritage, prepare projects, and create new learning
    opportunities, but to reach out to other Armenian communities and
    engage in collaborative learning.

    With the implementation of this grant, Pilibos will create an
    environment that is not only technologically advanced, but also will
    encourage innovative thinking and application of ideas learned in the
    classroom to further the enhancement of various areas of the Armenian
    subject. Students will use technology to work collaboratively on
    issues and projects, and help establish 21st century solutions to
    Armenian issues by creating Armenian global communities, forums, and
    Apps to be utilized for Armenian subjects and issues.

    The Armenian Academy of Los Angeles was created to provide
    opportunities for the Armenian Youth of today. `The mission of the
    Academy is to provide an academically challenging, culturally intense,
    and thought-provoking environment in which students are enriched with
    the broad knowledge, imagination, attitudes, and moral values that
    promote personal achievement, enhance the potential of our community,
    shape our collective future, and benefit society as a whole.'

    Keeping their mission in mind, Pilibos aims to provide the same kind
    of opportunities for students through the acceptance and
    implementation of this grant. Principal Alina Dorian said, `We are
    very excited and appreciative of the generosity of the Armenian
    Academy of Los Angeles towards our School and students. It is because
    of this grant that students will have the opportunity to bring a
    modern and current perspective to the study of the Armenian language,
    culture, and history.'
