Military Family Appreciation Month

Military Family Appreciation Month

Active duty military has more than 3.14 million family members in the U.S. The month of November is set aside to recognize and appreciate their sacrifice and support.


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. However, these challenges can also serve as opportunities. In fact, many children in military families have found success through K12’s online learning programs.


Those challenges and opportunities presented to military families are recognized worldwide this month, and many global companies are doing what they can to help. Here are a few ideas to exemplify your appreciation:
