Schools asked to show support for military families on ‘Purple Up’ day April 19

The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) is asking schools to show support for military families by celebrating  “Purple Up” day on Wednesday, April 19.

Gov. Tate Reeves signed a proclamation declaring April as Military Family Month and designated April 19 as “Purple Up” day.
