April is the Month of the Military Child
-
April is recognized as the Month of the Military Child where we recognize the strength & sacrifices our military-connected students make by being a part of a military family.
Why Purple? Purple demonstrates that all branches of the military are supported as it is the combined color of Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine Corps red, and Coast Guard blue. NTPS students, staff, and families are encouraged to wear purple during the month of April to show support.
Take time this month to honor the service, commitment, and sacrifice of our NTPS students who are a part of military families.

All NTPS students are invited to submit an art piece based on one of the following themes:
- Past: You served honorably. What makes you proud to be a veteran family?
- Present:Why are you proud to be part of an active-duty family?
- Future: What are your hopes, dreams, or wishes for the future?
- Military Strong: What is the best thing about being a military child?
All artwork must be submitted along with a Virtual Art Wall Entry Form by 5:00 pm on March 24, 2023. Send to Adrienne Perez, NTPS Military Family & Student Support at aperez@nthurston.k12.wa.us. Each participant will receive a military child swag bag.
