April is Military Month!
The Defense Department celebrates military children during the month of April. There are more than 1.6 million military children who face many challenges and unique experiences as a result of their parents' service. The Robinson Secondary community will virtually celebrate our military families and students by daily presenting a video clip of research based facts, resources and supports to demonstrate our appreciation to our Robinson Rams military student heroes. Please take a moment to watch the following two videos celebrating our men and women in uniform and their children.
