Farewell to Preschool

On June 30, 2022, the concluding event of the 2021-2022 academic year of “Saint Moses of Khoren’’ (“Surb Movses Khorenatsi”) preschool took place at the “Hayartun” Center of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia. It was also a farewell event for the preschool senior group.

In attendance were numerous guests, parents, teachers, and former students of the preschool.

The was honored with the presence of the Primate of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia, Rev. Father Archimandrite Kirakos Davtyan, accompanied by Rev. Father Hovsep Harutyunyan.

The Center hall was festively decorated, appropriate to the joyful mood of the day, and the day was both the end of the academic year and the beginning of the carefree and happy days of the summer vacation, and the farewell of the students of the preschool senior group, where they had learned a lot and with a great knowledge they should step into the elementary school.

The design of the hall was unique: space, planets and a “mind-plane”; the students of the senior group answered the questions of "Gitunik" and "Inchuik" about numbers, Armenian letters, and the planets representing the homeland. Symbolically, the sky of the planet called "Childhood" was peaceful, conveying a happy mood, and there was war and chaos on the planet Earth. The answer to the question why people war is the lack of love, which is so necessary for everyone.
