April is the Month of the Military Child
Honoring the Past, Treasuring the Present, Shaping the Future (2023 Army CYS MOMC Theme)
Although we celebrate the achievements of our students every day, we are very excited to honor the sacrifices of military children and youth during this April's Month of the Military Child (MOMC).
The color purple was chosen as a representation of all military branches, combining Army green, Marine Corps scarlet, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue. Wearing the color purple is a way for us to show visual support and thank our military youth for their service, commitment, and sacrifices.
We look forward to showing support during the scheduled "Purple Up!" days below. Participation is encouraged!
