    GLENDALE, CA-More than 100 ARS Saturday School students from five
    schools participated in a seminar program held on February 6, 2010, at
    the Glendale Youth Center. The event organized by the Regional
    Saturday School Committee was emceed by Kevork Bedigian, principal of
    the Talin School.

    Maestro Alfred Mardoyan led the choir practice session, as the
    children sang enthusiastically. Nyree Derderian, who chairs the
    Regional Strategic Planning Committee, presented the history of the
    ARS in an interactive bilingual manner and then showed a video
    prepared for the ARS Centennial. Derderian emphasized the role of the
    ARS in the educational arena, including running the Saturday School,
    where she noted, not only are the students taught the Armenian
    language and culture, but they are enriched with the Armenian spirit.

    Annie Guiragossian, ARS of Western USA Regional Executive Liaison to
    the Saturday School Committee, thanked the program participants; and
    Ung. Sossie Poladian, Chair of the Regional Executive, asked the
    students to be proud of their heritage and encouraged them to learn
    and practice using the Armenian language and culture.

    In an effort to reach to the student population, Nyree Derderian and
    other ARS members are visiting day schools and making presentations
    regarding the ARS and its century-long heritage of service.
