MCS salutes its military families in a virtual way

MADISON – 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.

This year as the school district abides by the “stay at home” order due to the COVID-19 crisis, they sent a virtual “thank you” to the 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!”
