St. Stephen's Armenian Elementary School 5k Fundraiser

Welcome to the fourth annual SSAES 5k to support St. Stephen’s Armenian Elementary School (“SSAES”), a private, bilingual school serving students from preschool through grade 5 in Watertown MA. Founded in 1986, SSAES currently serves 160 students from more than 15 zip codes in the Boston area, providing a curriculum that is a unique blend of the arts, humanities, STEM, Armenian studies, and experiential learning.
