    UAE Armenians: Sharjah Armenian School's Final Celebrartion 2005

    Azad-Hye, Dubai
    June 1 2005

    Ohannesian Armenian School's final celebration was held on 26th May
    2005 in Sharjah (Armenian Community Hall).

    The audience enjoyed the lovely songs and poems recited by the
    students, in addition to the graceful folklore dances performed by
    the 8th grade girls. The themes covered the 90th anniversary of the
    Armenian Genocide. There were also 2 pieces played by the Sunday
    school and the kindergarten children.

    Beautifully dressed as pets (bunnies, spiders, snails, etc.) the
    children did their best to sum up what they learnt during the year.

    As a remarkable enlargement of the school's role in the society this
    year a special class was introduced for non-Armenian speaking
    children of Armenian origin who aspire to learn the essentials of the
    language. We can proudly announce that the children of this new class
    have done their utmost to move on from initially learning the
    alphabet to forming whole and accurate sentences by the end of the
    given semester.

    At the end of the ceremony the headmaster handed over the diplomas
    and the medals for excellent students, reminding them that what
    acknowledgment they receive today is actually the first step towards
    their real life, during which they are called to honour their
    Armenian heritage.

    The ceremony came to an end by playing a shourchbar Armenian
    traditional round dance, to make a connecting bridge with the
    Armenians who were scheduled to gather two days later around Mount
    Arakadz, celebrating the first republic's day on 28th May.

    Hopefully we will see the day when all the Armenians will have their
    Shourchbar dance around our Mount Ararat.
