Month of the Military Child

Month of the Military Child

April is the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize children from military families for their contributions and sacrifices. We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank children from Uniformed Services, State Department, and Foreign Services and other families for their service and sacrifices. We recognize that children serve too. The nationwide commemoration was established in 1986 by former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger.

FCPS is proud to have more than 14,000 military-connected youth as a part of our student body. We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community and recognize their strength and resilience. 

To show our support, we are inviting all Fairfax County students, families, school employees, and community members to “Purple Up!” on April 20 for military children. 

Why purple? Purple symbolizes all branches of the military as a combination of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force and Space Force blue. 

Post your picture and tag #PurpleUpFCPS. Let’s Purple Up! for military kids! 


COVID Test Kits Available

COVID-19 BinaxNOW test kits are available to Bonnie Brae families to pick-up prior to Spring Break. Test kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, and there is no charge for the kit.  FCPS is not requiring COVID-19 testing to return to school following Spring Break, but if you would like a COVID test kit (max two kits per student), please contact Jessica Martell, office assistant, at jmartell@fcps.edu.
