April is the Month of the Military Family in Florida! The Month of the Military Family provides communities with an opportunity to honor and share gratitude for the service of military children. This year, we invite you to “Purple Up!” on April 15, 2026, by wearing purple as a visible way to show support and thank military children. Purple was chosen because it is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military. It is a combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine Corps red, Space Force blue and Navy blue. Students and staff in schools across Florida are encouraged to participate in this celebration of the courage of military families and to honor their hard work.

Our AVID students had a wonderful experience at Valencia. They learned a lot about the healthcare field. We greatly appreciate opportunities like this! 🐊

Congratulations to our 8th graders that earned Honor Roll for the third grading period. We are proud of you! Keep up the great work and finish strong! 🎉🐊
