April is the month of the military child and we loved celebrating our military connected students and their families on Friday. Thank you to our Student Council for doing an amazing job of leading the ceremony. Also a big thank you to our classrooms and student representatives for making the event so meaningful. It was a joy to see so many military members and families join us. You could feel the pride our community has for our military population and we are so grateful for your service.
