Teal Up Day was marked at Guthrie School in Parkland County, to honour all military children for the sacrifices they make coming from parents who choose to serve their country.
Children from families who are in the military gathered at a school north of Edmonton Friday for a special celebration.“Military children face challenges. They face parents who are deployed and they are often separated from their families for long periods of time,” school counsellor Cindy Vandervaate said.“We have military vehicles, we have a weapons display, we have a helicopter landing in our field today. We have carnival games,” Vandervaate said.
“It’s hard. They miss a lot of important events,” she said. “But my mom is always there to record and call him… so he’s there.”“There’s such a great community because nearly everybody here has gone through the same situations as me. They all have parents in the military.”
