On November 14th, our school’s Educational Technology Specialist, Dr. Panossian, led an informative Parent Workshop on “Google Apps for Education”. Google Apps for Education is integrated throughout our curriculum as a powerful tool for communication, collaboration, creativity, and 21st century learning. It’s a great tool that measures student growth and inspires student creativity!

What could be sweeter than ice cream with your friends? Knowing you’re helping raise funds for the @armeniafund that will help support various projects in our Homeland and lend support to our brothers and sisters in Armenia ❤️💙🧡

The Anita Torosian Literacy & Resource Center hosted a Poetry Reading which was the culmination of a five week session. Poet/teacher Tina Demirdjian presented all thirteen students who recited their own creations. Guests who were present, including Dr. K, parents, siblings, staff, and student observers, were impressed with the skill and thought put into both the students’ writing and recitation of their poems.
We are proud of our poets who now have increased confidence and ability to express themselves. We are also happy to enhance literacy skills of our students through poetry.

Our 3rd graders enjoyed their field trip to the Chumash Indian Museum in Calabasas. They participated in activities, crafts, and games the Chumash children enjoyed some years ago in that same region.

Celebrating World Kindness Day at Chamlian! Our Character Counts Crew spent the morning handing out flowers to our Chamlian Family as a gesture of love and kindness, which is never in short supply at Chamlian!

Students from Chamlian’s Poetry Workshop wrote their own beautiful poems at Tufenkian Fine Arts gallery in Glendale on Friday. Parents and teacher/poet Tina Demirdjian arranged a trip to the gallery to explore work by Armenian artists. Gallery owner Caroline Tufenkian graciously welcomed the group and opened up the space for the students to discover contemporary art.

Chamlian Armenian school, in partnership with YMCA, conducts a yearly Halloween candy donation raffle! Each pound of candy equals one raffle ticket which is then drawn at random. The prize is a bicycle to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle! Congratulations to our winner this year: Noy Avitsian! The donated candy is sent to our servicemen and servicewomen overseas as a gesture of our appreciation!
