PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE 2022-2023
Welcome to St. Sahag & St. Mesrob Armenian Saturday School’s 68th academic year!
Administration and staff are ready and anxious to return to Forest Manor Public School on September 24, 2022, 9:30 am-1:30 pm.
The mission of St. Sahag & St. Mesrob Armenian Saturday School is “to create an environment where students have the opportunity to connect with and immerse in their Armenian heritage by exploring its dimensions through the study of the Armenian language, literature, history, music, arts, and culture”.
We continue working with the International Languages Program of the Toronto District School Board (ILE TDSB). We greatly appreciate TDSB’s support and supervision of our Saturday morning program.
The administration and the teaching team work collaboratively to improve the Saturday program. Our instructors continue planning interactive and project-based activities in order to make classes engaging and student-centered.
I am grateful for your ongoing support and dedication to making our beloved school a true Armenian community. I appreciate the sacrifices you make for your children and I admire your persistence in helping them reach their full potential. Let us continue working together towards building a school where the environment is always happy and comfortable for everyone, where we come to learn enthusiastically, where our students’ intellect is challenged, and where they develop a keen interest and a deep love for all things Armenian.
I value parents’ involvement in their children’s school activities, both in monitoring their learning progress and in enforcing the code of conduct of the school. Working together will help us in continuing to sustain a community where we come to create, learn, teach, and socialize in meaningful ways, and thus strengthen our Armenian identity.
I encourage all parents to get involved in the activities planned for this year, such as celebrations and special school events. Let us aim to have parent representatives from each of our K-10 classes! Please fill out a Volunteer Form online or on registration day at school.
I suggest that you check the school’s webpage regularly for activities, important dates, announcements, volunteering tasks, etc.
If you would prefer to avoid the in-person registration rush on September 24th, please register online. Upon registration, you could sign up your children for extracurricular activities and hot lunches as well.
I look forward to collaborating with you and working towards a very successful and happy year.
