Los Angeles, February 23, 2009 - The 2nd and 3rd grade students of TCA Arshag Dickranian School conducted a fundraiser to support the victims of Haiti on February 5th, 2010, which was organized by the 2nd and 3rd grade homeroom teachers, Ms. Lusine Asatryan and Ms. Ashley Kirakosyan.


The fundraiser took place in the form of a bake sale which was held in the 2nd grade classroom. The students were asked to bring an assortment of pastries, cakes and cookies to school to sell them to other students, teachers and staff. The students helped raise over $500 in one day. The profits of this bake sale were transferred to The American Red Cross to support its efforts in helping the Haitian people cope and deal with the aftermath of the earthquake which struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. This week, the 5th grade homeroom teacher Ms. Susan Kim will be assisting the 5th grade students in holding another bake sale fundraiser to raise funds for Haiti.


As a nation that has experienced a destructive earthquake in 1988, Armenians recognize the pain and suffering that come hand in hand with such a traumatic event. The students of Arshag Dickranian School realize the importance of reaching out and helping others who have had similar experiences.

Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, the TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax exempt, Pre-K to 12th grade private educational institution. For more information visit www.dickranianschool.org.
