Month of the Military Child
April is the Month of the Military Child, and this year’s theme is “Rooted in Resilience.” Our purple spirit shirt is now available for purchase! Military children show incredible strength and adaptability, and we invite our entire school community—both military and non-military families—to show their support. Students and staff are encouraged to wear purple on Thursdays in April, and this year’s purple shirt is a great way to stand together and celebrate the resilience of our military kids. The deadline to order is Monday, March 23.
