Purple Up Day at Clermont

A collage shows a sign with military flags, students in front of a Military Child poster, and students in the gym participating in activities.

Each year our nation designates April as the Month of the Military Child to recognize and thank children from military families for the sacrifices they make living the military lifestyle. Wednesday, April 10 was "Purple Up! For Military Kids” Day. Why purple? We wear purple because it symbolizes the combination of all the service colors: Army Green, Marine Red, Navy Blue, Air Force Blue and Coast Guard Blue. 

We are honored to have so many military children with us here at Clermont Elementary School. We thank you all for supporting military children in our Clermont community and in April for the Month of the Military Child.
