MCS Salutes Its Military Families
Each year, April is designated as the Month of the Military Child. In Madison City Schools, more than 20 percent of its students come from military connected families.
A special day, “Purple-Up Day,” is set aside in communities worldwide to honor the sacrifices made by military families. Purple is the official color of the military child. Combining Air Force-blue, Army-green, Navy-blue, Marine-red, and Coast Guard-blue, the color purple forms.
This year as we abide by our “stay at home” order due to the COVID-19 crisis, Madison City Schools district and school staff send a virtual “thank you” to our military-connected students by creating a picture collage reading:
We love our military-connected students! Celebrating April as the Month of the Military Child. Thank you for your service! #purpleup4militarykids #mcslearn
