April is Month of the Military Child

Click here for the one-sheeter document outlining what Bay Village Schools is doing to honor our 72 military-connected students.

Sponsored by the Department of Defense Military Community and Family Policy, the Month of the Military Child is a time to applaud military families and their children for the daily sacrifices they make and the challenges they overcome. The Month of the Military Child is part of the legacy left by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. He established the Defense Department commemoration in 1986.

Throughout the month of April, Bay Village Schools will, for the fifth year in a row, plan special recognition to honor military-connected children. These efforts will stress the importance of providing military-connected children and their families with quality services and support to help them succeed in the mobile military lifestyle.

Bay Village Schools has 72 military-connected students from 42 families. Of those students, here is the breakdown per building: Glenview Center (1); Normandy Elementary (17); Westerly Elementary (11); Bay Middle (23); and Bay High (20).
