Title
C15 - Proclamation # 22-17: Month of the Military Child, Purple Up Day April 20, 2022
Description

Proclamation of Month of the Military Child, Purple Up Day: April 20, 2022.  

Month of the Military Child is sponsored by the Department of Defense Military Community and Family Policy and supported by many other organizations such as the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).  Purple UP! for Military Kids is a day for DoDEA communities to wear purple and show support to thank military childen for their strength and sacrifices.  Purple indicates that all branches of the military are support.  Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue are all thought to combine together as a single color: purple.  Purple UP! day is recognized world wide across military installations on April 20th.

Gap Analysis

Military connected students represent 12% of our overall student population, and this event gives us the opportunity to recognize their service to the country.
