MEDIA ADVISORY: San Diego Unified School Celebrates Day of the Military Child with Special Recognition Event

 

MEDIA ADVISORY

 

San Diego Unified School Celebrates Day of the Military Child with Special Recognition Event

Hancock Elementary in Liberty Military Housing Community Honors Military-Connected Children on April 17

 

April 16, 2024 

 

Hancock Elementary School, situated in the heart of San Diego's Liberty Military Housing Community in Tierrasanta, is hosting a special event to honor military-connected children. With a student body of 692, including 670 students with at least one active duty parent or guardian, and 36 students with dual military parents, Hancock helps support the unique needs of its students and families. 

 

This annual observance recognizes the sacrifices and contributions of military-connected children worldwide. It is a day to honor their strength, courage, and support for their parents who serve in the armed forces. San Diego is home to one of the largest concentrations of military-connected personnel in the nation, and nearly 8,000 San Diego Unified students have a parent serving in the Armed Forces.

 

WHAT: Members of the media are invited to join Hancock Elementary School in celebrating the Day of the Military Child. Through various activities and events, the Hancock staff will express gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices made by military children and their families. From a special luncheon where servicemembers will share a meal with their children to a solemn flag ceremony featuring the Navy Band, the school community will come together to honor and uplift military children. 

 

WHEN: Wednesday, April 17, and Friday, April 19, 2024 

 

Recognition Flag Ceremony featuring the Navy Band: At 7:55 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17, join us for a flag ceremony led by the Navy Band. This solemn event will pay tribute to the strength and resilience of our military children and their families.

 

Lunch with a Military Loved One Special Luncheon: At 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 19, servicemembers will have the opportunity to share a special lunch with their child. Parents will be invited to wear their uniforms as a symbol of honor and respect for their child's sacrifices.

 

This event is for professional journalists. Please confirm attendance in advance: communications@sandi.net. 

 

BACKGROUND: San Diego is home to one of the largest concentrations of military-connected personnel in the nation, and nearly 8,000 San Diego Unified students have a parent serving in the Armed Forces. Military-connected students can expect to change schools between six and nine times from kindergarten through high school, or three times more often than non-military-connected children. As military-connected students transition between schools, often to different states and countries, they must adapt to varying cultures, school populations, curricula, standards, course offerings, schedules, and graduation requirements. In addition to providing streamlined enrollment and graduation support for students moving in or out of the state, San Diego Unified partners with school liaison officers from the U.S. Navy and Marines, and has dedicated Military Family Life Counselors at several schools to better support military families.
