Krikorian wins in a landslide with over 12,000 votes!!!!!
Glendale, CA. Greg Krikorian was Re-elected to the Glendale School
Board in a landslide victory on April 7th 2009. In a field of seven
candidates, Krikorian once again was the top vote getter from the
community at large. In an election where the Teachers Union, the local
Assemblymen, State Senator and other political organizations choose not
to support the first Armenian-American ever elected to the Board of
Education. Krikorian’s victory demonstrates that his record as a
member of the Board of Education transcended the usual pettiness of
local politics. His overwhelming victory was a true vote of confidence
from all sectors of the Glendale community,
Greg Krikorian and his wife Christine, came to Glendale in 1989 from
Hartford, Connecticut and Detroit, Michigan. Both were former active
Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) members and attended Camp Haiastan, in
Franklin, Mass, where they first meet as campers. Greg was the first
president of the Hartford-New Britain AYF Junior chapter and a past
counselor at Camp Haiastan of the AYF. Their five children have all
attended Glendale Unified District Schools and have been involved in
the local Armenian youth community, from the AYF to the Camp to
participating in the Navarsatian Games.
Krikorian has a long list of accomplishments, not only for public
education, but also for the over 10,000 Armenian-American students
attending Glendale and La Crescenta schools. "During my tenure my
colleagues and I have added Armenian language classes to Glendale High
School, and our schools recognize Armenian Christmas as an official
holiday. We have also incorporated curriculum on the Armenian Genocide
into our 10th Grade world history classes, district wide", stated
Krikorian. `Christine and I can’t thank the community enough for your
support! I’m deeply humbled by the voters of Glendale and La Crescenta
having trust in me to serve another four years on our Board of
Education.’
"Volunteers from all parts of the community participated in
[Krikorian’s] campaign sending out a message that resonated with
voters. The two candidates supported by the teachers union received
over $80,000. We didn’t have even close to that amount of money. What
we had was the confidence of our community on the ability of Greg to
serve their children" said Sevan Serafino, Krikorian’s Campaign
Manager.
"I’m going to miss the campaign and the volunteers. We’re truly like
family everyday we were phone banking and on weekends precinct walking.
Our team loved and believed in Greg. This feeling of love was passed
on the voters’, added Volunteer Coordinator, Argishd Parsekhian.
"Greg Krikorian brings a stability and leadership quality to our
community and our youth that is tireless. I’ve served with Greg on
Little League for over 8 years and you can’t find a more committed
person," said supporter, Tony Lezza.
As he embarks on another four years on the Board of Education,
Krikorian says he looks forward to the road ahead and is committed to
continue the fight and face the many challenges, for our families and
schools and for the community as a whole. We welcome you to visit
