Calcium students received purple leis in honor of Purple Up Day. Service members and their families enjoyed a special moment together before the children went into school for the day. Afterward, the service members went inside for a light breakfast and encouraging words from IRCSD Superintendent Troy Decker.<br /><br />“You’ve got our backs wherever you happen to be, domestically or across the globe in some fashion,” Decker said in his remarks. “While you’re doing that, we’ve got your back right here with your kids.”<br /><br />Also on Tuesday, Theresa Primary School invited service members with children attending the school for a lunchtime Purple Up event that included coloring and activities, purple cookies, and a short video of students describing why they love being a military kid. Theresa Principal Brenda Leddy led the event with a thanks to families and celebration of their military families.<br /><br />Antwerp Primary School held a special surprise for its students on Thursday, April 17. A Blackhawk helicopter flew past classroom windows and landed in the playground field. Piloted by the father of Antwerp second-grader Ian, the helicopter was open for students to climb inside, and the crew answered questions about the aircraft, their missions, and the best parts of being an Army aviator.<br /><br />The Month of the Military Child events at IRCSD provided many meaningful moments of gratitude and celebration for military students, their families, and everyone in the community. The recognition highlighted the district’s appreciation for military families and the unique role their children play in the community.

On Purple Up Day, people are encouraged to wear purple as a visible way of showing support for military kids and their families. As a school district, we are proud to honor the sacrifices and contributions of our military families, and <strong>we encourage you to join us in wearing purple to show your support</strong>.<br /><br />Military children face unique challenges such as frequent moves, changing schools, and long periods of separation from parents who are serving our country. By wearing purple on Purple Up Day, we can show these kids and their families that we appreciate their sacrifices and stand with them in solidarity.<br /><br />Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you wearing purple tomorrow!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
