Why Celebrating Military Children Matters
Military children often face unique challenges, including frequent relocations, adjustments to new schools, and the emotional impact of having a parent deployed. By celebrating the Month of the Military Child, we can raise awareness and foster a supportive environment in our schools. CAMO’s visits aim to promote understanding and appreciation for the sacrifices made by these children, highlighting their resilience and courage.
