Month of the Military Child Activites

Military Connected Youth (MCY) make ongoing sacrifices such as constantly moving from place to place, coping with a parent who has a  combat related illness/injury, dealing with the absence of a parent(s) because of a deployment or grieving the  loss of a parent due to an act of war. They face unique obstacles that other students don’t commonly encounter  and are known to be one of the most resilient group of kids when compared to their civilian peers. Recognizing  them helps to build a sense of pride with respect to their parents’ service. It’s an opportunity to say “Thank You”  and “We Support You.” Thus, setting the tone to give them a better chance to succeed socially, emotionally  and academically.
