Happy "Purple Up! for Military Kids Day" from your CSU Extension in Douglas County staff!

April is the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize that “Military Kids Serve Too”. They are resilient – but military kids make sacrifices and live under circumstances many of us cannot even comprehend. Join us in recognizing Colorado’s military kids and celebrate with us on April 15 for “Purple Up! for Military Kids Day” in Colorado – a day set aside for the entire state to show our support and appreciation for military kids by wearing purple and doing special things to recognize the youth. 💜
