It was with great joy and excitement that St. James Sunday/Armenian School has opened its doors once again for a new academic year to offer classes in Armenian Language and Religion to our youngsters.
The classes started on Sunday, October 31. The schedule consists of lessons in Armenian Language (10:00-10:45 a.m.), and Religion (10:50-11:35 a.m.). Following the classes children are escorted to the sanctuary to participate in the Divine Liturgy.
This year we have three groups: Pre-K (3-4 year olds), Kindergarten (5-6 year olds), and Elementary (7-10 year olds). We are also excited to welcome our dedicated teachers: Nouneh Karapetyan, Karine Papoyan and Yn. Ruzanna Hovsepyan are instructing the Armenian Language classes, and Marni Pilafian and Dorian Barsamian are teaching the Religion lessons.
We are looking forward to having a productive academic year with our hard-working and dedicated school staff. We thank everyone for supporting our School and giving us the opportunity to teach the essentials of the Bible, as well as helping our youngsters to understand and embrace the distinctive faith-experience of the Armenian people.
