Whether you’re PCSing, exploring near your duty station, or planning a weekend outside, your next park adventure may be closer than you think.

🏃‍♀️💙 THANK YOU to our incredible Falmouth Road Race team of runners!

You crossed the finish line at the 2026 Falmouth Road Race and helped us cross an even bigger one by supporting military families and veterans in our community. Every mile you ran, every dollar you raised, goes directly to our Nourish the Service program, helping local military families and veterans challenged by food insecurity.

To every runner who trained, fundraised, and showed up: thank you for standing with military families. You made a real difference.

Military parents, we have future astronauts, artists, engineers, leaders, and world-changers to raise, so naturally we need options. 🚀😂 Youth programs can look different in every community, from books and museum days to outdoor adventures and local chapter events.

Why not join the Blue Star Neighborhood to see what is happening near you and help your military kid find the next thing that makes them light up. 🌟

The biggest question on the first day usually is not, “Where is math class?”
It is, “Who am I sitting with at lunch?” 🎒

Military kids can walk into a brand-new school while their family is still figuring out which box has the lunch containers. This carousel offers practical ways to help that new school feel less unfamiliar and help military kids feel prepared, supported, and connected.

Save it for the next first day, the next move, or the military family in your circle learning a new school system.

What helped your child feel welcomed at a new school? Share your ideas in the comments so families preparing for their own first day can learn from one another. 😊
