Puple Up! For Military Kids” Day - Wednesday April 20, 2022

“Purple Up! For Military Kids.” Is a day in April set aside for everyone around the Nation to show their support for military connected students. VDOE encourages the entire school community – teachers, principals, students, parents, bus drivers, etc. – to wear purple on April 20, 2022 to show support for our military students and appreciation for their strength and sacrifices. Purple represents the blending of the colors of the five branches of our armed forces. Here in Virginia, we are proud to be home to Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, National Guard and Reserve families.
