I agree with the last post- I have loved Armenian food and the heritage since I was a kid growing up in Belmont. Not many people get exposed to such a diverse number of cultures- we are lucky here.

I was in BHS from 1981-85 and I don't think it was offered then. However, there was an Armenian Club that I joined, despite my English/Irish heritage since they had great parties with awesome food – sounds joking, however it opened my eyes and my taste buds to a totally new-to-me ethnic cuisine, which I loved, and I suspect that made me much more open to trying all sorts of new foods as I got older.

That's too bad- I believe that languages like Italian and Armenian really enhance a child's sense of heritage. I wish they offered Italian and have wondered for a while why French always survives- but then, french is usually the language chosen most!
