Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Marine red, and Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard blue. By wearing purple and joining our "Clap-in," we let our military-connected students know that their community stands behind them.
Honoring Our Youngest Heroes: Help us start their day with a round of applause and a lot of heart!
