SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Celebrating "The Month of the Military Child"
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1986, Secretary of Defense, Caspar W. Weinberger designated each April as "The Month of the Military Child."  During this month, we honor our military families, especially our youngest heroes - the children, our students.  During "The Month of the Military Child," schools have been recognizing their military-connected students and their families' contributions to our country and community.  These young heroes continue to inspire us despite the challenges they face due to their unique situation, such as having a parent deployed for extended periods, changing schools, and leaving friends.  These students demonstrate their resilience through their achievements, successes, and contributions to the community in which they live.
