Our great state of Ohio is home to more than 700 Purple Star schools, all working to support and recognize the children of our nation’s brave service members — our military kids.
We invite our students, staff, families, and community to join the virtual celebration by showing your support and sharing your Purple Star spirit on social media during the week.
📱 Be sure to use the hashtags #PurpleUpOhio and #GalionCitySchools so we can celebrate together!
Thank you to all of our military families for the sacrifices you make and the strength you bring to our communities. 💜🇺🇸
"You may notice Galion looking a little more PURPLE this month! 💜
In honor of the Month of the Military Child, many amazing local businesses have teamed up with Galion City Schools to help “Paint the Town Purple” and show support for the children of our military families.
Be on the lookout for purple decorations, windows, signs, and displays throughout town as businesses show their appreciation for the strength and sacrifice of military kids.
And mark your calendar for Purple Up Day on April 22 — we invite everyone in our community to wear purple and join us in celebrating military children!
Want to join in the fun? Here are a few decorating ideas! 💜
Use symbols like flags, stars, ribbons, or words like strength, resilience, and service in your displays. You can decorate windows, create signs, or even use chalk on your sidewalks to show your support. Just a few fun ways to participate!
If you spot a purple display around town, snap a photo and share it! 📸
Tag us and use #GalionCitySchools and #PurpleUpGalion so we can see all the support across our community!"
