April is Month of the Military Child and the Alaska 4-H Program is asking Alaskans to “purple up” on April 15 to honor military youth.

to thank the youth for their strength and sacrifices.Purple symbolizes all branches of the military if the representative colors are added together. The 4-H program provides support and activities to military youth, families and communities. Visit www.alaska4h.org for more information.
All current and former Military Kids on campus are invited to have cake in the Wood Center from 12:45 p.m–2:15 p.m.
