This week our schools celebrated the Day of the Military Child. Chief Earls from Vance compared the military child to a dandelion - a child that can grow through all the storms and changes that life brings them and still thrive. These students always amaze us with their strength and courage and we know they bring so much joy to their parents who are serving our country selflessly!
Thank you to all our schools and community members who took the time to read special books to our students or feed them a special meal. special thank you to Garland Baptist Church for feeding our Prairie View military students! Mayor George Pankonin also read a proclamation proclaiming the Day of the Military Child for Enid.
