Spitakashen School is in early stage of construction works launched
by the Hayastan All Armenian Fund and sponsored through its Toronto
local committee.

The local school was constructed in 1935. With years, learning process
at school has been getting less and less attractive for the students
in a run-down building which is also being used for community events
and gatherings as well.

"I believe the new school will open a new page in the history of the
community and be a starting point for improving life in the village",
said, the Acting Executive Director of the Hayastan Fund Ara Vardanyan
during his working visit to the site.

The new school will have all necessary facilities including a ceremony
hall, boiler-house and a playground. Basement is already covered with
concrete and support walls have been erected. Around 181 million AMD
worth project is scheduled to complete in August 2009. Designed for
130 students, the school will be ready to open its doors to students
in the new academic year in 2009.

"It is very important that a community of 471 people and some 110
families have a proper school; its how we can raise and educate our
children appropriately, "says Shiraz Hayrapetyan, the school director.
