April 15: Parkwood is going PURPLE
April is Month of the Military Child
(MOMC), recognizing and paying tribute to military families and their children for the daily sacrifices made, their commitment, courage, and unconditional support of our Armed Forces!
APRIL 15th: Purple Up! For Military Kids Day, allows us to show our support for military kids and appreciation for their strength and sacrifices by wearing purple. Purple symbolizes "joint" in the military world, meaning "all services." In the world of color, if you combine Army green, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Navy blue, you get purple. Georgia is proud to be home to Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, National Guard and Reserve families and the fifth largest state in the US with military dependents ages 0-18. The goal of Purple Up! is for military youth to actually see the support in their school and community.
On April 15th, please get your purple on and help us recognize military children’s sacrifices as they serve our nation too!
