Month of the Military Child: Honoring Strength, Service & Sacrifice

April is recognized nationwide as the Month of the Military Child, a time to honor the

resilience, strength, and sacrifices of children in military families.

Military-connected students face unique challenges. Frequent relocations, transitions to

new schools, and extended separations from deployed family members require

adaptability and courage beyond their years. Despite these challenges, military children

continue to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, bringing leadership, global

perspective, and resilience to our schools.

On April 15, 2026, Epic will participate in Purple Up Day, a special day set aside to visibly

show support for military children. Students and staff are encouraged to wear purple — a

color that represents all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces combined.

Throughout April, we proudly recognize our military-connected students and families and

thank them for their service to our nation. We are committed to ensuring every student

feels supported, valued, and connected in our schools.

Let’s join together on April 15 and Purple Up in support of our military children!
