Purple Up! Spirit Week
The Month of the Military Child presents a wonderful opportunity to honor our military students, and Andre’ Lucas Spirit Week of April 20 through 24 was particularly special.

Strength in Every Story
Sharing these brief narratives can offer encouragement to children facing similar challenges who may struggle to express their feelings. It is essential for military children to articulate their emotions, as this validates their unique and often overlooked sacrifices, including deployments, frequent relocations, and changes in schools.
