For the second consecutive year, the event was held at Stonehurst, the Robert Paine Estate, in Waltham. The place was filled with a vibrant crowd, excited to support their cherished school.
“The outpouring of support and love expressed for our school is a testament to the longstanding and vital role that St. Stephen’s Armenian Elementary School holds in the Armenian community of the Greater Boston Area,” read a part of a statement published by the SSAES.
