Benefits to our students include easing transitions, meeting other military children who share similar circumstances, learning coping skills, and support through deployments and moving. Activities include Lunch Bunch groups, Veteran’s Day breakfast, Purple Up for Military Students in April, the month of the military child, Yellow Ribbon Ceremonies for deployments, and Deployment Groups. We also offer the Anchored 4 Life Club, a student - led transition program to assist military students coming into the school, moving away, deploying and reconnecting after deployment.
