    Los Angeles, April 13, 2010 - The 8th grade students of TCA Arshag
    Dickranian School went on their March 26-31 six day educational trip to
    Washington D.C. and New York., escorted by Ms. Alvard Uzunyan, their home
    room teacher. The trip was organized by Armen Mkhsian and was accompanied
    by several parents.

    On their first day in Washington DC, the group toured the nation's capital
    exploring the memorial sites of presidents Thomas Jefferson, Abraham
    Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Later in the afternoon, the group
    visited the Arlington Cemetery, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Walls and
    the Korean War Veterans Memorial, reflecting upon the soldiers who gave up
    their lives for their country.

    On day two, the students first visited the White House and after spending
    valuable time, the group headed towards the National Mall observing
    various statues and paintings of famous people in American history. While
    there, the 8th graders also watched a documentary about the Revolutionary
    War and the Independence of America, which they found very informative.

    On their third day of the trip, the group was very excited to visit the
    Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, where they spent three hours meeting
    with the staff of the Embassy and touring the several rooms that display
    artifacts from Armenia, such as rugs, statues and paintings.

    The next morning, the group boarded their bus heading towards New York
    with a short stop in Philadelphia to visit the Independence Hall and the
    Liberty Bell. The students were amused with all the horse carriages in the
    plaza. Upon arriving to New York City, the students spent the rest of the
    day taking a stroll in Time Square with stops at Hershey's and the
    McDonald's famed to be the biggest one in the world.
    The final fifth and sixth days of the trip were spent by site seeing the
    world famous and historic locations of New York such as the Wall Street,
    the Statue of Liberty, the Rockefeller Center, the meat packing factory
    and Time Square.

    Upon their return the students found their week long excursion very
    enjoyable and informative, whereas parents expressed their high level of
    satisfaction of the program and the way it was organized.
