April is Month of the Military Child!

Throughout FCPS, we are recognizing the important role military children play in the armed forces community. Purple Up Day will be celebrated on April 9th, and our week-long Military-Connected Spirit Week will be held April 7-11:

  • Monday, April 7: Proud To Be Day! Wear the colors of the American flag or the flag from your country of origin!
  • Tuesday, April 8: Favorite Branch Day! Wear the color of your family's branch or your favorite branch of the military.
  • Wednesday, April 9: Purple Up Day! Wear purple to recognize our military kids at Laurel Ridge Elementary School!
  • Thursday, April 10: Camo Day! Wear camo, brown, green, or black!
  • Friday, April 11: Wear red to remember those who are deployed!
