Children from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade stand with Irma Ludwig, principal of Milam Elementary School here, in front of a wall of red, white and blue cutouts honoring the military child. April commemorates Month of the Military Child in appreciation of the unique stressors that children of military parents face in their families and schools. Parents, teachers and staff are encouraged to stop and leave a message of appreciation for the military children on the paper cutouts in the schools foyer.
