FROM ADMINISTRATION
April is the “Month of the Military Child,” recognizing the unique challenges, stressors, and emotional trials commonly experienced by these impressionable young minds. Fortunately, the Military support system has clearly identified and defined this concern and put into place actionable policy and procedure to ensure the family of our Military are supported. UNfortunately, our public and private sector could do a much better job supporting ALL of our youth throughout the many stressors and emotional trials many of our youth endure.
