Funds raised will be used for various initiatives at SSAES. For the past 39 years, the school has provided an extended family, a quality bilingual education and a strong cultural foundation to build and grow Armenian identity and connection to the homeland. The success of this recent community event is just one example of many that brings the children together beyond the standard school hours and influences their overall joy and excitement. Graduates often speak highly when recalling their experiences at SSAES; events like these further forge the lifelong friendships between children, parents and families.
