Welcome Back to School!
In recognition of the Month of the Military Child, our school will be celebrating Purple Up spirit week to honor and support the many students and families connected to military service. This week provides a special opportunity for our school community to show appreciation for the sacrifices and contributions made by military children and their families.
Each day will feature a different theme for students and staff to participate in. On Monday, April 20, we will begin with Military Monday, where students are invited to wear a shirt representing their favorite branch of the military, such as the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, or Space Force. On Tuesday, April 21, we will celebrate Crazy Camo Day, encouraging everyone to wear camouflage clothing. Wednesday, April 22 will be Red, White, and Blue Day, when students and staff can wear these patriotic colors to show support for our military families.
The celebration will continue on Thursday, April 23 with Purple Up Day, a day dedicated to wearing purple in honor of military children. Purple represents all branches of the military and symbolizes the strength and resilience of military families. We will conclude the week on Friday, April 24 with Red Day, when students and staff are encouraged to wear red to remember and recognize those who are deployed.
We look forward to seeing our school community come together throughout the week as we celebrate and support our military-connected students and families. Thank you for helping us recognize and honor the important role military children play in our community.
