The Induction Ceremony was held on Wednesday, January 16. We are so proud of this admirable accomplishment that our scholars have achieved and wish them continued success! Under the guidance of Ms. Ana Sirabionian, their advisor, our ambitious Tigers will no doubt succeed in all their endeavors and projects for the year!

Mr. Silvio Lanzas, Interim Fire Chief, visited Chamlian and was given a tour of our facilities. We are always glad to continue to strengthen and uphold the strong tied we have between our Chamlian Family and larger Glendale community.

We had the honor of hosting Mr. Babken DerGrigorian, Deputy Minister of the Diaspora and a Chamlian Alumnus, and Ms. Arevik Anapiosyan, Deputy Minister of Education & Science. Our distinguished guests met with our students, discussed a deeper connection between the Diaspora and Homeland, and were given a tour of our impressive facilities!

We're so proud of all of our Chamlian Tigers who dedicated multiple days during their Christmas break to volunteering and working tirelessly on the Armenian float that represented our rich heritage and beautiful culture!

Santa Claus, alongside Mrs. Claus, visited out Chamlian Tigers, bringing gifts, enjoying Christmas carols, and listening to beautiful recitations that our students prepared.

Քրիստոս Ծնաւ եւ Յայտնեցաւ, Ձեզի եւ Մեզի Մեծ Աւետիս: Enjoyed a beautiful Christmas program at the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Church with our angelic Chamlian students. Wishing our Chamlian Family a blessed Christmas Eve.

Our Armenian Theater “Nor Darva Vokin” was a hit! Our actors and actresses used a timeless & classic play to portray the true meaning of Christmas - enjoying laughs along the way! A special thank you to Mrs. Arpi Dabaghian for her tireless efforts in directing this play and her continued dedication to our students. 💙

On December 3-7, Chamlian students participated in the annual celebration of Hour of Code week. Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path. During Hour of Code week, students learned how to code their own Dance Party! Students danced the moves, then started coding the moves!
