    Diplomat tours and praises one of GUSD's two Armenian language FLAG
    programs.

    Four years after launching the district's first Armenian heritage
    program at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, Glendale Unified
    officials on Wednesday welcomed Armenia's Minister of Diaspora Affairs
    Hranush Hakobyan to the site.

    "I am absolutely thrilled and impressed with how our kids in such a
    short period can be perfectly fluent in both languages, Armenian and
    English," Hakobyan said through a translator.

    Hakobyan toured classrooms where students, many wearing traditional
    Armenian clothing, greeted her with songs, poems and small gifts.
