From Swords to Plowshares:

Celebrating and Honoring Military Children
April is military child month when the children of service members are recognized for the sacrifices they face so their parents can serve. There are a multitude of programs that support military children like Military OneSource or Operation Military Kids. Even Sesame Workshop Project started “Talk, Listen, Connect” to increase awareness for issues military children live with on a daily basis. These programs are in place to show that we support all our service members, the ones who wear the boots and the ones they wear the boots for.

DoDEA joins the Department of Defense and the military community in celebrating April as the Month of the Military Child.
