Tomorrow is “Purple Up Day!” Purple Up Day is a day to recognize and support military children and their families, celebrated annually on April 15. It is part of the Month of the Military Child, which honors the sacrifices and challenges military children face. Let’s all wear purple tomorrow to show our support!
We are looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early tomorrow morning! 😊
