In 1986, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger proclaimed April 2025 as the Month of the Military Child. Military bases, cities, and school districts around the globe will celebrate these young American heroes with special events dedicated to them. As part of this month-long tribute, local communities are encouraged to join in the Purple Up! initiative. Each state designates a specific day for this observance, where individuals can wear or display purple to honor our military children. Here are some ideas for how your school can participate in the Month of the Military Child.

Tremendous opportunity for high school Scholar-Athlete-Leaders to gather information about the application process for all Service Academies and the many ROTC programs across the country to include an Army and Air Force ROTC program at the University of Wyoming. The event will be held in Casper, WY at Natrona County High School and parents are encouraged to attend. As you will see highlighted on the link below, this will be the only combined event in Wyoming this Spring.

To provide some insight, a student from Cody, WY who attended this event last year applied for a National ROTC scholarship and a Naval Academy scholarship. Last week he was awarded a 4-Year National Scholarship to UW and acceptance into the Naval Academy. This young man has selected to attend the Naval Academy. This is just one of many examples of how lucrative these opportunities can be.
