Military Family Appreciation Month is designated to extend a heartfelt thanks to the families of 2.27 million active duty and selected reserve members of the Armed Forces.
Through deployments, frequent moves and new cultural experiences, there is no doubt that military families face many challenges that sometimes affect children’s experiences with and performance in school.
