The Purple Star Designation
KETTERING CITY SCHOOLS
at
The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. Schools that earn the award will receive a special Purple Star recognition to display on site. Kettering Schools is proud to have this designation.
There are almost 2 million children whose parents are connected to a Military Family. Between grades K-12, a military child moves on average 6-9 times. Additionally, each move creates a sense of loss in the child (loss of home, school, friends, etc). The loss of these staples coupled with the fear and anxiety about a pending deployment or move causes a lot of unique challenges that our Military children have to deal with. Below are some resources that will help both parents and educators support our children the best way possible.
