April is the Month of the Military Child
Did you know:
- Most military families relocate an average of every 1-3 years.
- Military kids often attend 6-9 different schools from kindergarten through 12th grade.
- The dandelion is the official flower of military-connected children. Dandelions put down roots anywhere, bloom where they are planted, and are incredibly resilient.
- 45 FCPS schools have earned the Purple Star Designation for Military-Friendly Schools.
- Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is proud to have almost 14,000 military-connected youth as part of our student body.
Each year, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is proud to recognize all military-connected children in April during the Month of the Military Child. This yearly tradition is part of a national celebration to recognize military children for their resilience, strength, and sacrifices. Former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger established the nationwide tribute in 1986.
Fairfax County is extremely fortunate to have more than 14,000 students who are part of a military family. It is with sincere gratitude that I thank all of our military families, particularly the military kids who sacrifice and serve our country in their way. As the mother of a son currently serving in the military, the unique challenges and needs of our military families are priorities for me year-round.
Celebrating the Month of the Military Child provides a powerful opportunity to raise awareness and build support to help our children meet the unique challenges they face. Visit FCPS online to access FCPS Resources for Military Families.
