Brookfield Public Schools are Celebrating the Month of the Military Child For Military Kids Day!

PURPLE UP!

By proclamation of Governor Ned Lamont, April is the Month of the Military Child.  During April, military bases, cities and school districts throughout the United States will honor our military children with special events just for them.

As part of this month-long celebration, local communities are invited to take part in Purple Up! For Military Kids on April 27th, the day designated by Governor Ned Lamont, by wearing or displaying purple to recognize the strength and the sacrifices of our military children.

To show support for all of our military children here in Connecticut and Brookfield, we are asking members of the community to show their support by wearing purple on April 27th. Purple references the joint environment of the military, encompassing all service branches, Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Veterans.

Purple combines each branch's colors into one: the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard all use shades of blue, the Army uses green, and the Marines use red.
