Moore County Schools joins the State of North Carolina, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and surrounding school districts in celebrating the Month of the Military Child through April.
Established in 1986 by Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger as a Defense Department commemoration, the Month of the Military Child underscores the important role military children play in the armed forces community and recognizes military families and their children for the daily sacrifices they make and the challenges they overcome.
On Friday, April 16, Moore County Schools will celebrate âPurple Upâ day for students and staff to wear purple to recognize the resiliency of military-connected children. The color purple is the official color of the military child because it symbolizes all branches of the military: Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and Navy blue.
