To the 2011-2012 school leavers of the Educomplex high schools: Gymnasium, Art School and Trade School

Shushan Bleyan says, “It’s not the last bell ceremony and it’s not a farewell ceremony either”, and then she remembers the Armenian expression “Աչքներս լույս” the approximate translation of which may be “Congratulations!” Really, let our teachers congratulate each other on the occasion of getting rid of You safe and sound, at least for a while, let’s say for several months, when we have got over this troublesome summer, and You have enjoyed the new status of a student or an employee in September and October, You will come to us in November to our joint celebrations of “Mkhitar Sebastatsi Days”, our Educomplex traditional holiday with its so much delicious and uniting “Harisa”, our traditional dish. Do come, will you? You are welcome! It’s Your school, come if in a few years’ time You bring Your own kids to the kindergartens of our Educomplex. Your school is nice if Your children are also there on Your conscious and free choice.
This group of school leavers is the first of our three-year high school. This big and interesting group of our school leavers consists of individuals who are dear to me. We consider this group to be a success and self-realized. Do you remember our being also friends? And, perhaps, the period of our friendship is just beginning. What will unite us?… the memories of our life together our devotion to each other…

The May 14-27 ceremony, where You are the main heroes, is such an amazing project in the daily routine of our over occupied Educomplex that has even inspired me a great deal. You are the best, but You are not the last. Look, our new 5-6-year-old learners of the 2012-2013 school year have started to turn over as well as the new 10th graders… They are welcome! Let’s help them to come, lead them to us.

Let them come who…
The joint rehearsals of the educational project “Farewell”, Your everyday 2-hour general trainings are the most important now. The marble hall is used as a concert hall and a square for social activities. What a national brand it is turning into! Prepare for your debut carefully and with inspiration. The educational programme that you are carrying and the soul that you have are sure to attract more than 1000 learners, parents of school leavers, teachers. That will be obvious, familiar to the eye, real as the fact itself.

Be grateful and more generous. Your worries and disagreement on this or that undertaking of the project, should be considered to be trifles, I am sure. There should only be good taste and intention, original and free. Your individual talent may be multiplied with Your joint strength… Take courage! You are in the center as the heroes of the day, of the given moment, the month, the year.

Always Yours,

Аshot Bleyan
