2nd Annual Purple Star Summit

With more than 130 educators from around the great State of Ohio, Purple Star continues to grow in order to best support our military families! Thank you to Big Walnut Schools for housing our event and for transportation, Irvin Hiskey Post 535 from Bellville, Ohio for sponsoring lunch, and Ohio Connections Academy for sponsoring breakfast. Our day included a wonderful visit to The Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial, and powerful messages from incredible speakers; including stakeholder, educators, students and Ohio's 2025 Teacher of the Year, Danee Pinckney.
