As we celebrate the Month of the Military Child we offer personal thanks to each Armed Forces family. Starting with Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger in 1986, the serving Secretary of Defense has designated each April as "The Month of the Military Child." Frequent moves and extended family separation make military life especially challenging. Please join us in acknowledging and honoring our military students and their experiences.
Wednesday April 29th is Purple Up! for Military Kids Day at Mitchell School. Wearing the color purple is a visible way to show support and thank military youth for their strength and
sacrifices. Why purple? Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Marine red, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue.
Here at Mitchell School we made a bulletin board in the center of our school to honor and celebrate students from our military families. We are helping our young military children discover their SPARC...
S-trength
P-otential
A-spirations
R-esourcefulness
C-onfidence
These students have proudly signed their names next to the branch of service in which their parent(s) serve. We are proud of them too!
The poem "The Dandelion – The Official Flower of the Military Child" is also posted on the bulletin board. We wanted to share it with you.
Don't forget....
Wednesday April 29th is PURPLE UP! Day at Mitchell School. Wear purple to show your support for military and veteran children.
