The month of April is recognized nationwide as the Month
of the Military Child. Throughout this month, educators are
encouraged to sponsor and promote activities in their
schools and districts to recognize, celebrate, and honor the
children of military families for their own sacrifices because
of their parents' military service. The Arkansas Council for
Military Children has designated April 15, 2025 as Purple
Up! for Military Kids Day. Faculty, staff, and students are
encouraged to wear purple clothing on that day.

VPA MAKES KINDNESS A HABIT! Random Acts of Kindness Week began in 1995 to celebrate the small things that can make a big difference. Students at VPA celebrated by wearing kindness stickers, signing The Kindness Pledge, and were encouraged to complete at least 1 random act of kindness each day! Some even acted as Kindness Agents by secretly delivering messages to their favorite teacher!
