Month of the Military Child
April is Military Child Month, celebrating the strength and resilience of children with parents in the military. They face unique challenges like frequent moves and deployments, and we honor their sacrifices and contributions.
Educators in schools with large numbers of military-connected students have identified the following qualities these children share:
Strong family bonds
Parents who are involved in their children’s education
Parents whose employer encourages parental support of schools
Experiences from many cultures and geographic areas
Ability to relate to others with diverse backgrounds
Adaptability
Flexibility
Cooperative spirit
Maturity
Independence
