64: Purple Star Schools, why you should look for one for your military kid during your next PCS

Have you heard of Purple Star Schools? No? Me either! Thats what we are going to talk about today!

Purple Star Schools are schools that have earned that title by having school personnel and programs specific to military kids and their families.

There are Purple Star Schools all over the nation, and definitely worth looking into during your next PCS.

I share with you how schools earn the accreditation of being a Purple Star School, what is the MCEC or Military Child Education Coalition and what programs do they have to support our military kids.
