Our Welcome Back days are an important opportunity to reconnect as a team, prepare for the year ahead, and make sure we are ready to provide our students with a safe, nurturing, and enriching learning environment.

Officer Kerry Kelly from the Watertown Police Department provided our team with a refresher training on ALICE and school safety protocols, including safety procedures and de-escalation strategies. Keeping our students and staff safe remains one of our highest priorities.

Most importantly, our faculty and staff had the opportunity to come together, collaborate, laugh, learn, and get ready for another year of inspiring our students!

We are excited for the classrooms to be filled with curious minds, joyful learning, Armenian language and culture, and friendship!

The St. Stephen's Armenian Elementary School Family mourns the loss of Digin Anahid Kibarian, a beloved and extraordinary educator whose lifelong dedication to Armenian education touched countless lives. As the former Co-Director of the Մուրատ Ազգային Վարժարան/Mourad Armenian School of Sts. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church - Providence, RI, Digin Kibarian devoted herself to nurturing generations of students and preserving the Armenian language, faith, and heritage. In recognition of her extraordinary dedication, she was honored by the Catholicos of the Armenian Church for her near 75-year contribution to the community.

Throughout her distinguished career, Digin Kibarian inspired generations of diasporans to embrace their Armenian heritage with pride and to develop a lifelong love for the Armenian language and Church. Among those whose lives she profoundly shaped is our very own Head of School, Dr. Garine Palandjian, for whom Digin Kibarian served as her very first mentor in her journey toward becoming an educator. Alongside her Co-Director, Digin Anahid Arzoumanian, the dynamic duo helped cultivate a passion for teaching and learning Armenian that continues to impact future generations of students and educators worldwide today.

Աստուած Հոգին Լուսաւորէ. Asdvadz hokin lousavore. May God illuminate her soul.
